The Best Perth House and Land Packages: The Most Frequently Asked Questions

A house and land package can be a solid investment, and can provide you with a significant return if you decide to sell the property at a later date. With so many home developers offering this service in Western Australia, it can be difficult to know which company to opt for. Here are some tips when searching for the best Perth house and land packages, and the things you will need to consider when building your own home for the first time.

 

What is a home and land package?

In short, a house and land package includes a plot of land, as well as a new home on which it will be built. These packages can work out to be cheaper than purchasing a new home and plot of land separately, and you could generate a profit if you choose the right area of Perth to build the home.

Homes in Perth will need to be built to strict regulations on the state, local, and federal level, and many companies will inform you about any restrictions when building your home before you sign-up to a package.

 

What is a display home?

A display home or display village gives you an opportunity to see a finished property which has been fully-furnished, which can give you an idea of what the finished product will be. As the home will be built from scratch, it’s always a good idea to visit a display home first, and you can then decide if there are any additional design features that you want to incorporate into the structure.
