Building Your Dream Home in Rivermont

With so many areas to consider, building your dream home can be an exciting yet daunting experience.

To demystify the processes involved in purchasing a house and land package, we put together the most common questions and things to consider when looking to buy.

What are the main points to consider when choosing a house and land package?

There are several key questions to answer that help our team put together package options:

1. Budgets – What do you want to spend?
2. Timings – When do you want to move into your new home?
3. Location – What amenities do you want to be close to, such as schools or parks?
4. Aspect – Do you have any preferences for the block's aspect or position?
5. Yard size – What size block do you envision?

What are some of the main benefits of choosing a house and land package?

One of the primary benefits is that it’s a straightforward process, giving you a clear idea of prices from the outset. This realistic estimate aids in budgeting, which can be particularly daunting for first home buyers.

A full turnkey offer means you’ll end up with a move-in ready home. With so many choices available when building your dream home, you can customise inclusions and exclusions to suit your style and budget. Additionally, choosing your land means your home is specifically designed to fit the block, ensuring good synergy and flow.

Is there any other information people should consider when looking to buy a house and land package?

First and foremost, speak to brokers and banks to determine your budget. It’s not just about how much you can borrow; it’s also about how comfortable you’ll be with mortgage repayments.

Next, it’s a good idea to visit the community in person. Take a drive through and ask yourself if you can see yourself living here—experiencing the community firsthand is very different from looking at an online masterplan.
