Popular in estates
Often sought after by those looking for an investment property.
Drawbacks of a house and land package
There’s an inherent lack of choice
Limited options with materials and inclusions

Is a house and land package a good choice for first home buyers?
Without knowing your specific situation, it’s difficult to say whether a house and land package is the best choice for you. It depends on the buyer and what they’re after more than whether or not this is their first home build. For example, some people like to be involved and for them, a house and land package could be a frustrating experience.
For those who are worried about making the wrong decisions, a house and land package isn’t a failsafe solution. The best way to avoid mistakes is to work with someone with experience in the building industry. Buildi offers a variety of services from helping you find the right builder, to looking over your contract to make sure everything is as it should be. With Buildi on your side, you can have convenience on your side without negating any flexibility or choice.
