Understanding House and Land Packages in Perth

Building tips

If you’re a first home buyer or looking to build in Western Australia, you’ve likely heard the term house and land package. But what exactly does that mean—and how does it work?

At New Choice Homes, we make the process simple. In this guide, we’ll break down how house and land packages work in WA, who they’re best suited for, and what to expect at every step.

What Is a House and Land Package?

A house and land package is a streamlined way to build a new home. You choose a block of land in a location you love, and then pair it with a home design that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Unlike buying an established home, a house and land package offers the flexibility to customise your floor plan, finishes, and inclusions, while benefiting from modern energy efficiency standards and warranties.

How Do House and Land Packages Work in WA?

In WA, house and land packages usually involve two separate contracts:

  1. Land Purchase Contract – This is between you and the land developer or seller.
  2. Building Contract – This is between you and the home builder (like us).

While the contracts are separate, they work together to deliver a seamless experience. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Choose Your Suburb

You’ll start by selecting a suburb based on your lifestyle, commute, school zones, or investment goals. At New Choice Homes, we partner with leading developers across Perth’s most in-demand estates.

2. Select Your Block

Next, you’ll choose a block that suits your needs, whether that’s a corner lot for side access, or a narrow block to suit a compact design. Block size and orientation will influence which home designs are suitable.

3. Match with a Home Design

Our consultants will help you choose from a range of modern, energy-efficient floor plans tailored to your block size and budget. You can personalise your layout, elevation, and finishes.

4. Secure Finance

Once the land and home design are selected, you can apply for finance. Most buyers in WA use a construction loan, which releases funds in stages as the build progresses.

5. Sign Contracts

You’ll sign a land contract and a building contract. From there, we take care of the rest—including preparing the site, council approvals, and managing the construction schedule.

6. Construction Begins

Once approvals and prestart selections are complete, construction begins. You’ll be updated throughout the build until handover.
