The benefits of purchasing a house and land package in Tarneit.

When it comes to purchasing your dream home, the decision between buying an established property and opting for a house and land package is one many future homeowners face. While buying an established home offers the convenience of moving in immediately, selecting a house and land package offers numerous financial and practical benefits that may make the process more streamlined and cost-effective.

What is a house and land package?

A house and land package combines the purchase of land with the construction of a new home. Although it involves two contracts, one with the property developer and the other with the home builder doing the construction, the process can be more transparent because you know the total price upfront. Here’s why a house and land package might be the right choice for you:

1. Significant Stamp Duty Savings

Do you pay stamp duty on house and land packages? One of the most compelling reasons to consider a house and land package is the opportunity for significant savings on stamp duty. Unlike purchasing an existing home, where stamp duty is calculated on the full purchase price of the property, with a house and land package, you are only required to pay stamp duty on the value of the land itself. This can result in considerable savings—particularly in areas with high property prices. Imagine how much further your budget could stretch when you’re only paying taxes on a portion of your purchase, rather than the entire property! Jump onto the State Revenue Office website, their calculator will help you understand
stamp duty and the implications for your new home budget.

2. Take Advantage of Government Grants and Incentives

In many regions, building a new home qualifies you for government grants and financial incentives, such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and other regional or national schemes aimed at boosting homeownership. For first-time buyers, this can reduce the upfront costs of entering the property market. By combining stamp duty savings with these government grants, you could substantially lower the overall cost of building your new home, making it easier to get your foot in the door.

3. Flexibility to Customise Your New Home

One of the main advantages of building from scratch is the freedom to design a home that perfectly suits your lifestyle and needs. Unlike buying an established home, where compromises are often necessary, a house and land package offers flexibility in customisation. You can tailor the layout for future family needs, choose modern finishes, and incorporate sustainable features like solar panels or energy-efficient appliances. Additionally, new homes require minimal maintenance in the early years, and a new home warranty provides extra peace of mind.

4. A Simplified Process

Building a home can be a daunting prospect, but house and land packages can provide a beneficial alternative. Builders and land developers work together, offering a combined product offering that may add value due to specific inclusions. Packages may also further simplify the process with turnkey house and land solutions, meaning your new home comes complete with landscaping, driveways, and other final touches, so you can move in without worrying about the little details.

Rebates, Titles, Settlement, Turnkey, Untitled: Common developer terminology explained.

Building a new home is an exciting journey many families experience every year. At Marigold, we want to simplify the process, translate industry jargon and break down the barriers. Below, we’ve listed some common terms to help you navigate your purchase with confidence.

What is a House and Land Package?

A house and land package is a property deal where buyers purchase both the land and the home together. Typically offered by land developers in Melbourne, packages give buyers the option to choose from several home designs tailored to suit the plot of land purchasers have selected. At Marigold, this option allows buyers to select from pre-designed homes that perfectly match the size and shape of their block, offering a streamlined experience for the customer. See Marigold’s house and land packages for more information.

What Are Turnkey Homes?

Turnkey homes differ from house and land packages in that they are fully constructed and ready for immediate occupancy upon completion, leaving no outstanding tasks after moving in. 

For example, a house and land package usually encompasses only the home’s interior and exterior. In contrast, a turnkey package goes a step further by including landscaping, driveways, and other features that transform a house into a home, such as a mailbox, clothesline, and outdoor lighting.

What Is Titled Land?

Titled land means that the legal title for a plot has been registered with the state’s land authority, allowing the buyer to begin construction immediately after purchase. For families interested in building their dream home at Marigold, purchasing titled land ensures they can start the building process without delay.

Understanding Untitled Land

By contrast, untitled land refers to land that does not yet have its legal title. Buyers can still secure this land but will have to wait until it is titled before starting construction. Untitled land at Marigold offers a more flexible, future-focused option for buyers planning long-term investments.

How Long Does Settlement Take?

The settlement process for titled land typically takes between 30 to 90 days, depending on the property type and contract agreement. During this period, the legal and financial details of the purchase are finalised. However, settlement can only occur once the land is officially titled, as this is a critical requirement. 

In contrast, for untitled land, once the title is registered, settlement usually occurs within 14 days.

Rebates and Government Support

A rebate is a financial incentive provided by either the developer or the government to help reduce the overall cost of purchasing a property. Rebates can come in various forms, such as cash back after settlement or discounts on certain aspects of the purchase. 

In addition to developer-specific rebates, there are several government programs designed to assist homebuyers purchase a home with a lower deposit. 

The Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS) is an Australian Government initiative aimed at helping eligible buyers purchase a home sooner with a low deposit. The scheme offers three guarantees: the First Home Guarantee (FHBG) with a 5% deposit, the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee (RFHBG) for regional buyers, and the Family Home Guarantee (FHG) for single parents or guardians with a 2% deposit.

For more details on how these government programs can support your purchase, visit the Housing Australia website to explore eligibility criteria and application processes. Keeping an eye out for both developer and government rebates can significantly reduce your overall costs and make your journey to homeownership at Marigold more affordable.
