House and Land Packages
S.J. Salisbury Constructions Pty Ltd holds builder’s licence number 57020 under the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA).
SSG Real Estate Pty Ltd is registered agent RLA 262661 under the Land Agents Act 1994 (SA).
House and Land Packages that are promoted or advertised on the Website may involve the sale of land that we do not own. In that case when we offer such land for sale we are acting as agent for the owner of the land. The sale of any such land will be by private treaty and separate Sale of Land contract between you and the owner of the land.
If you wish to buy the land through us, you must also enter into a building contract with us for the construction of a house on the land. If you do not wish to enter into a building contract with us but you want to buy the land, you must deal with the owner of the land and negotiate a price with that owner. We will not be involved in those dealings.
If we do own the land, you must enter into a building contract with us if you want to buy the land.
The plans and specifications for any house we are to build for you are clearly spelt out in the contract documentation that we will prepare for you. You should check that documentation carefully, take your own independent legal and other advice on it and ensure that it covers all of the features you are expecting from your home before you sign it.

A party to the Terms claiming a dispute (‘Dispute’) has arisen under the Terms, must give written notice to the other party detailing the nature of the dispute, the desired outcome and the action required to settle the Dispute.
On receipt of that notice (‘Notice’) by that other party, the parties to the Terms (‘Parties’) must:

(b) If for any reason whatsoever, 30 days after the date of the Notice, the Dispute has not been resolved, the Parties must either agree upon selection of a mediator or request that an appropriate mediator be appointed by the head of an appropriate mediation body selected by the President of the Law Society of South Australia or his or her nominee;
(c) The Parties are equally liable for the fees and reasonable expenses of a mediator and the cost of the venue of the mediation and without limiting the foregoing undertake to pay any amounts requested by the mediator as a pre-condition to the mediation commencing. The Parties must each pay their own costs associated with the mediation;

All communications concerning negotiations made by the Parties arising out of and in connection with this dispute resolution clause are confidential and to the extent possible, must be treated as “without prejudice” negotiations for the purpose of applicable laws of evidence.
If 8 weeks have elapsed after the start of a mediation of the Dispute and the Dispute has not been resolved, either Party may ask the mediator to terminate the mediation and the mediator must do so.
