These limited packages feature a fixed price turnkey build. What does turnkey mean?
With a turnkey build, it means the extras are covered! This can be the driveway, LANDscaping allowance and window coverings.
The aim of the HomeStart Advantage is to cover most of these ‘hidden extras’ you might deal with when building your own home, like window furnishings, fencing, retaining walls and Landscaping.
You’ll need to pay for a Solicitor/Conveyancer to manage settlement of the block. They’ll also run you through the contract to make sure you’re comfortable and understand it all.
Council Rates: once you own the block, you’ll be responsible for paying the rates. Vacant LAND rates vary to House Rates so keep this in mind!
