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.
