6 Questions to Ask When Considering House and Land at Flourish

The right house and land package can help you grow your way at Flourish, taking away a lot of the stress and guesswork of finding the perfect home.

So, what is involved in the process and how can you make it work for you? We’ve covered some commonly asked questions to help you navigate the possibilities with confidence.

What is a house and land package?

To put it simply, a house and land package is a bundled deal where you get both the homesite and the property in one. The home itself will be carefully designed to fit the specifics of the homesite (size, frontage and orientation).

House and land packages are a popular choice at Flourish, especially among first homebuyers. Here are just a few of the benefits they offer:

• Upfront pricing and the ability to negotiate additional inclusions or upgrades as required.
• Stamp duty savings (you can find out more about this below).
• Energy-efficient home designs that help to save you money on heating and cooling costs in the long run.

Are there any grants or concessions available?

One of the biggest benefits of purchasing a house and land package is the stamp duty savings. Unlike purchasing an established property, where you pay stamp duty on the total purchase price, you will only pay stamp duty on the land with a house and land package.

You can also apply for a home concession to help reduce the stamp duty costs on your new home. Visit the Queensland Revenue Office website for more information.

Eligible first home buyers can also purchase a new home with just a 5% deposit. Read our blog post to discover if you can benefit.

What is involved in the building process?

While there are a few steps involved in bringing your new home to life, the process itself is fairly straightforward. Here’s an idea of what you can expect:

• Start by viewing available house and land packages at Flourish and working with our Sales team to find the one that works best for your budget, lifestyle and future plans.
• When you’ve found the right package, it’s then time to sign the contract and get finance approval for settlement.
• You may then have to wait for your new homesite to be titled, if it isn’t already. In simple terms, this means receiving the official documentation that outlines the transfer of ownership to you.
• When your homesite is titled, construction can begin. This includes earthworks, slab down, frame construction and other steps to bring your new home to life.
• Upon completion of the construction process, you will then be able to walk through for a final inspection before final settlement and moving in.

Do I need to choose a house and land package to live at Flourish?

While many residents choose a house and land package, you don’t need to purchase one to be part of the Flourish community. You can also buy land only and build later with a builder of your choice, subject to Flourish’s design standards.

Both options come with their own benefits.

• A house and land package can offer a more streamlined experience, it can make the building journey feel simpler, with upfront pricing, fewer decisions to make and the convenience of organising your home and land together.
• Choosing land only gives you more flexibility to create a home that suits your lifestyle, personal style and budget. It also means you can choose your own builder and build on a timeline that works for you.
