Plaque Appreciation from A R McMurrich 3rd Batt

Copy of contract and correspondence with covering typewritten summary. Lots 24 and 25, Harcourt Road, Boronia - Plan of Subdivision 12272, Part of Crown Allotment 70B, Parish of Scoresby, Certificate of Title Volume 5864, Folio 1172697AI Summary using CoPilot (29/8/2026): "These documents record the 1947 sale of two vacant blocks of land - Lots 24 and 25 in Harcourt Road, Boronia—from Rev. Victor Pringle Oliphant Batt to Rupert Frederick Mead Veach. The estate agents, C.E. Carter & Son of Ringwood, handled the transaction. Early letters show Carter & Son sending the Contract of Sale and required government forms to both Batt and Veach for signature, along with instructions to return the signed documents and the £8 deposit. Because land sales at the time were controlled under National Security (Economic Organisation) Regulations, the sale required approval from the Commonwealth Treasury. Carter & Son arranged for an official valuation by V.W. Page, an approved government valuer, who provided a certificate and invoiced £2/2/– for his fee. Batt also authorised Carter & Son to receive £76 from the sale proceeds, subject to adjustments. On 10 November 1947, the Treasury advised Carter & Son that the original contract price was excessive. The Treasury stated that approval would only be considered if both parties agreed to reduce the price to £78. Carter & Son then wrote to Batt and Veach, enclosing the Treasury letter and asking them to initial the amended contract price. Both parties did so, and Carter & Son returned the altered contract to the Treasury. On 22 November, Carter & Son notified Veach that the Delegate of the Treasurer had granted consent for the sale. Veach then paid the balance of the purchase money, and Carter & Son forwarded the approved contract to Veach’s solicitor, H.T. Colin Woodfull, so that the transfer could be prepared. In December, Carter & Son issued an account sale to Batt showing the final figures: sale price £78, less commission (£3/18/–) and half the valuation fee (£1/1/–), with the balance remitted to Batt. Finally, Carter & Son sent Woodfull the Certificate of Title (Volume 5864, Folio 1172697) to complete the transfer. The accompanying statutory vendor’s statement (Form 5) confirms the land details, Batt’s declaration of the original £84 price, the absence of leases or income, and compliance with wartime land sale regulations."
