Find Your Dream Home with These House and Land Package Tips


Melbourne’s suburbs offer the ideal opportunity for real estate investors and buyers looking for their ideal first home. This includes the beautiful town of Epping, a short 35 minutes drive from the heart of Melbourne. You may want to consider Lyndarum Estate in Epping, one of the most sought after communities just perfect for families and young couples. With over 50 hectares of open space and an abundance of parks and natural reserves, Epping does promise one of the best community lifestyles. Alternatively, you may want to check out the options at Mernda Villages estate in Mernda. The fast growing suburb is only 30km from Melbourne’s CBD and boasts of an excellent infrastructure. So, if you are looking for the best house and land package you are certainly spoilt for choice.
Choosing the right package
One of the important things before you choose a house and land package is to determine where your priorities are. It is easy to fall for a design but does it conform to your needs? You may need a double garage, play area or an extra study room. The design you choose must suit your lifestyle and budget. It would be wise to make a wish list and see if items like hardwood floorboards, modular kitchens or any other aspects of value to you can be added to the final product. Most importantly, understand your budget. That’s what will help you determine how much you can borrow and find a loan to suit your lifestyle. Some builders offer fixed contracts while other work on a turn-key basis. Just make sure you understand the terms and conditions of these contracts. No matter what, look for a builder that offers as much as a 25-year structural guarantee.

Create the Perfect Home with a Knock down Rebuild


Very often, homeowners are faced with the problem of whether to find a new home or renovate their existing one that may seem past its prime. To begin with, selling an old home may not fetch you the prevailing market price unless you decide to increase its curb appeal. That could mean renovations that could make the entire process truly worthless. Moving from a neighbourhood you are so well adapted to can also be intimidating. The kids could resent a move where they need to make new friends and attend a new school. Rather than go through the process, a knock down rebuild could be the perfect alternative. This allows you to save on time and material cost while you get to build a new home with a design and floor plan of your choice.
An affordable and practical alternative
There are many environmental advantages of a knockdown rebuild. With new ducting and installation of new appliances, your energy bills are likely to drop once you have an energy efficient home. Knock down rebuild is a growing trend in Melbourne, which indicates that there are many advantages over moving to a new home or simply renovating your existing home. The biggest benefit is that it is generally cheaper. Just make sure to work with a reliable builder who will help you find a suitable floor plan that allows for easy maintenance. Not every council works the same way so check with your local council for building regulations.  Always consult your builder early on so that you do end up with your dream home.
