What is a house and land package?
You’ve seen the term pop up thousand times on google, but what exactly is a house and land package? A house and land package is when the purchase of a block of land and the choice of the builder are combined into a single process. For example, when a house and land package is being advertised, you’ll see a specific home design being proposed on a property with a builder’s name already attached to this project.
Advantages of a house and land package
- More Streamlined: The process of building with a house and land package is much more linear than other options, particularly a bespoke home which involves many decisions.
- Potentially Cheaper: Buying an existing house can be an expensive proposition due to the value of the land, so a new house and land package can often turn out to be the cheaper option.
- Less Stamp Duty: One of the advantages of a house and land package is you’ll only have to pay stamp duty on the land proportion of your deal.
Drawbacks of a house and land package
- Hidden Costs: With any building project, you need to be crystal clear on what you’re paying for and what’s included in the quoted price.
- Lack of Choice: Everything action has a reaction and by simplifying the build process, you, unfortunately, do sacrifice flexibility and choice in your build.
- Land Value: The biggest indicator of growth is unlikely to be the house itself, but rather the land. We’ve all heard stories of a rundown shack by the beach selling for millions, which just proves a great location is what brings in the big bucks. With a development estate property, most of the value will be in the house, which does tend to hinder potential growth in the long run.
Is a house and land package a good choice for first home buyers?
No two first-home buyers are quite the same, so there’ll never be a universal answer to the best method to build your house. For some people, a house and land package is a convenient

Cons:
If you’re looking to move to Moreton Bay for the beaches, Morayfield won’t scratch that itch.
Though Morayfield was voted Australia’s second most liveable suburb in 2014:
a) that was 8 years ago, and
b) a lot of people seemed to be taken aback by this.
There were plenty of defenders as well, so it may be best to take these things with a grain of salt.
