Usually the land isn't owned by the builder (the blocks are still owned by the developer and put together with a builder's house for marketing). You may not like the size or location of the block. If you do like the block on offer with the house, then there wouldn't be a problem with the house/land package. As for your loan, I would suggest visiting one of the bank sites and using a home loan repayment calculator. Take the current variable loan and add 2% to it. If you can afford the repayments it tells you, then you will be ok. If you would just be getting by at the current rates, then I would say it's too much as interest rates are bound to go up over the next couple of years. I would always allow for more then 2% of a interest rate rise... you never know what they are going to do. I would see what the repayments work out to be at 10% interest.
