What is a house and land package?

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?

Whether a house and land package is ideal for a first home buyer depends on personal circumstances. However, for someone with a specific vision for their brand new home, a bespoke builder be a better fit.
