First homes
House and land from $282* p/w
Ready to call it quits on your landlord?
Did you know you can get into your first home for just $282 p/w? And yes, that’s for both house and land. Imagine owning your own house for less than the rent on your tiny place (ya know, the one with things growing on the walls…). And if you’re not currently renting – that means you’re probably living with your parents, so it’s still a BIG win.
3 steps to building
We know what a brain-melt first home buying can be (kind of like the time you tried to understand Interstellar). So, instead of overwhelming you with blueprints, numbers, and fast-talking salespeople, we keep things simple – giving you more time to learn the names of the staff at Bunnings.
Here’s how we do it.
Finance smarts
Location smarts
Design smarts
Lastly, let’s talk dream pads. Are you downsizing (less to clean, more to love), upsizing (get ready for a Masterchef-style kitchen!), or just treating yourself to a place without rent inspections? What design makes you want to grab your phone and take insta pics? Just let us know, and we’ll create a home that’s all you.
Spending all your holiday fund on rent?
Why not buy for less.
A house and land package could be your saviour. Basically, it’s a package deal where you get a block from a developer and a you-beaut home from us, the builder, all in one. It’s like if you could magically get all your streaming services in one place… You’ll know all the costs from the start, and you only need one loan!
We’ve got pre-made house and land packages for you to look through, but don’t stress if they don’t fit your mental image, we can make one that includes space for that room dedicated to FIFA – whatever you need.
Your VIP access to the perfect loan
We know one size doesn’t fit all. Get your mind out of the gutter, we’re talking about financing a new home! And because we know that everyone has different needs, we have different finance solutions that can work for you, your situation, and your new home. We’ve lined them up for you to compare.
First home owners grant
Free money is always worth celebrating. Especially when the Gov’ gives you $10K just for building a new home. The First Home Owners Grant is your answer to your parents’ avocado toast jokes.
Stamp Duty Concessions
If you’re a first home buyer, you may be able to get an exemption from paying stamp duty, saving you money to spend that shiny coffee machine for your pad instead (George Clooney not included).
New Homes Guarantee Scheme
Got your 5% sorted but your parents aren’t keen to go guarantor? With the New Homes Guarantee Scheme, you can forget the sneaky Lenders Mortgage Insurance and the government will cover that last 15%!
Low Deposit Home Loans
Have you been listening to Uber Eats and ‘supporting local restaurants’ a bit too often? DW, there’s an extra-low deposit home loan just for you. With a $3k deposit, you can start living your best life now – where’s the prosecco at?
First home buyer info sesh
Are you tired of your flat mates hogging the TV (Friends-overload is possible!), and need your own place, but not sure where to start? We’ll use our building smarts to debunk it all and have you speaking the lingo in no time.
First homes with smart inclusions
