SHANNONDALE Shannondale is located approximately 25 kilometres south-west of Grafton and approximately 9 kilometres from the small village of Coutts Crossing. Shannondale is home to the well-known Shannon Creek Dam. The 30,000 mega litre Dam is located west of Coutts Crossing. It is an off-river storage reservoir. This means that instead of relying on rain to fall in the small 37km catchment area of the Shannon dam for its water supply, we gravity feed water by pipes directly from the Nymboida river. The Nymboida River sources its water from 1700 square km of Dorrigo catchment, the highest rainfall area in NSW. Facilities available at the site include BBQ, picnic tables, toilets, car parking and a viewing area on the dam wall. Provision has been made for disabled car parking with most facilities accommodating wheelchair access.

If you are intending to buy at auction, all the above-mentioned must be in place. Auction day is final. If you turn up to bid and you are the highest bidder past the reserve price (on-the-market price) you are the instant owner awaiting settlement of the property.

STEP 2 – Confirm your time frame available to do any investigations Find out if the property has a deadline on it, such as auction of other offers from interested parties.
When conditions of sale are all met ie. Pest and Building report and formal finance, it is time to review and sign the contract of sale with your nominated solicitor or conveyancer. Be sure to have your 10% deposit already cleared in your agencies trust account for progression to exchange of contracts. On exchange of contracts the sale is then binding.
