Browse Forums Building A New House Re: House and Land Package - Melbourne North 2Dec 08, 2020 7:24 pm I think you can always buy the lot separately, house and land packages are basically hypothetical arent they? Unless they are locked to certain builders? If thats a thing. Check on the developers website, you should be able to purchase the Lot only, with no restrictions on what builder to choose. Re: House and Land Package - Melbourne North 3Dec 09, 2020 9:15 am Thanks CarlisleXR for your insights. So, if I decide to buy just land for now, will I have to get a soil test done before I settle for the land? or is it something that will have to be done during the construction phase?

Previous day, I had paid deposit for land to the developer.

Previous day, I had paid deposit for land to the developer. Thanks - for some reason I was assuming that the soil test had to be done before land settlement. Glad to hear that's not the case.
