3 Big Benefits of Buying a House and Land Package
If you’re in the market for a new home or investment opportunity, you’ve probably heard the term “house and land package”.
In this blog, we’ll explore what a house and land package is, and why it’s becoming an increasingly popular choice for homebuyers.
What is a house and land package?
A house and land package consists of a block of land that has been paired with a perfectly suited home. It clearly illustrates what home design best suits a particular land lot and how much it will cost.
They’re particularly appealing to those looking for a new home with more transparency and without the complexities of purchasing a block of land and home separately. They generally provide a more simplified path to owning a new home.
What are the benefits of buying a house and land package?
A simpler buying process with less stress
House and land packages offer a streamlined and simple purchase and construction experience, with many steps in the process already taken care of. When it comes to bringing your dream home to life, the less stress on the journey, the better. Choosing a house and land package means you minimise the challenges associated with managing various facets of the purchase process because it’s all coordinated together for you. This not only saves you time and effort but also ensures a smoother and more stress-free experience, making it an ideal choice for those who want a hassle-free path to homeownership.
Transparent pricing
House and land packages typically come with an all-inclusive price that covers both the cost of the land and the construction of the house. This pricing model makes budgeting more straightforward and eliminates the need to negotiate separate land and building contracts. It can also help you avoid unexpected costs down the line, providing financial peace of mind.
Intelligent and intuitive design
House and land packages feature home designs that take into consideration the unique size, location, orientation and aspect of the land on which they sit. The builder designs the floorplan to maximise the views, internal space and natural light to ensure the best possible living experience. This means your home will be masterfully crafted with an intelligent and intuitive design that seamlessly harmonises with the land lot.
Important considerations
Standard inclusions
Ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of what’s included in your house and land package by requesting a detailed breakdown of its inclusions. Typically, standard inclusions cover essentials like a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, windows, doors, built-in robes, electrical points, and heating. However, it's crucial to note that certain practical elements such as driveways, landscaping, and fencing might not be part of the quoted price.
Keep in mind that making alterations to the home’s features or layout, or adding in extra flourishes will incur additional costs.
Building timelines
When exploring potential builders, enquire about their policies concerning construction delays. While alterations to completion dates can occasionally be inevitable, how builders handle these situations varies. Understanding how a builder communicates progress updates if the construction extends beyond the initial schedule is crucial. Opting for a builder with a transparent approach to such scenarios can significantly enhance your experience, alleviating stress and ensuring a more satisfying journey through the building process.
