Understanding how house and land packages work and the benefits they offer can help you feel more confident in your decision-making.
To help you get started, we’ve covered off some of the most commonly asked questions about house and land packages at Sage Burpengary.
First things first. A house and land package combines the purchase of a new homesite with the construction of a home designed specifically for that site. This option comes with two separate contracts for the land and the home.
House and land packages are generally financed via a two-part process. This includes:
A mortgage to secure the homesite.
A construction loan where you ‘draw down’ an agreed amount to pay for each stage of the construction process as it takes place. You will only pay interest on the money you use at each stage.
At this stage, it certainly pays to do your research to find a mortgage broker or lender who can get you the best deal. Our finance pre-approval blog is a good place to start.
There are several steps involved in the building process at Sage. Here’s a general idea of what you can expect:
Start by meeting the Sage Sales team and talking through your options. Things like your lifestyle, budget and future plans will help to determine what house and land package will work best for you.
Once you’ve settled on a package, it’s time to sign the contract and get your finance approved for settlement of the land.
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, starting with slab down and progressing through the various stages.
From here, your builder will take you through a final inspection before handover, when it’s time to celebrate.
The timeline between signing the contract to getting the keys in your hand will vary between person to person. Here are some things that can impact how long things take:
The issuing of land titles
The size of your home design and the availability of materials
Weather conditions during construction
Council approvals and other administrative requirements
Locking in finance approvals

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