Understanding House and Land Packages in Perth

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?

Building a home should be exciting, not confusing. At New Choice Homes, we make the process simple. In this guide, we will break down how house and land packages work in WA, detailing who they’re best suited for and what you can expect at every stage of this process. Whether you’re securing a first-home buyer loan or exploring house and land packages for the first time, understanding the process is key to ensuring a stress-free experience.

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. These house packages essentially deliver both the control your want and the value you need.

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:

First Home Buyers Loan

For first-home buyers, it is now easier than ever to build your home with the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme. This scheme effectively lowers the barrier to entry, allowing more Australians to build with as little as a 5% deposit and no Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), potentially saving you tens of thousands. To provide a comprehensive understanding of these changes and easy-to-understand advice, New Choice Homes has created a free, downloadable guide explaining everything you need to know to make the most of these changes.

Who Are House and Land Packages Best Suited For?

• First Home Buyers – Take advantage of grants and create your dream home.
• Young Families – Build in growing suburbs close to schools and parks.
• Investors – Get a brand new property in high-growth areas with low maintenance costs.
