Re: House & Land Packages vs Separate 10Nov 29, 2012 3:22 pm strawberry234 Yip aware of the possible variation in price, and that not prime position etc, mainly trying to gauge whether it will cost similar to do the same thing ourselves kind of thing, ie if we found a decent house and land with decent fixtures etc and it would work out to be a fair bit cheaper doing it that way we would go for it, but if for similar/slightly more we can personalise it more then that would work best. We would be going for a higher end house and land if we were to do it not the cheapie ones. For example, if we were to do this via a house and land vs buying similar sized block in same area and building same/similar house http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-thorneside-111334131 I think a house and land package would generally be cheaper because of little things like taking out separate loans for the land and house, stamp duty. Re: House & Land Packages vs Separate 11Dec 23, 2012 8:39 am I found a large difference between house & land and building alone. I built a custom home but it was a lot nicer than the house that would be built in house & land. Although I did end up spending 30K more (I obviously didn't calculate this before the purchase). Re: House & Land Packages vs Separate 12Dec 23, 2012 9:19 am Iris I think a house and land package would generally be cheaper because of little things like taking out separate loans for the land and house, stamp duty. Stamp duty is less when you buy the block separately as opposed to h&l package as far as we were told. From what i understood you pay stamp duty only on the block if you buy it on its own, but if you buy h&l package you pay it on the total price. Could be different for different states though. I think you are better buying your own block and then talking to builders to get the best house for your money. You can bargain in certain things that way and you know what you are getting for your money. Re: House & Land Packages vs Separate 13Jun 26, 2013 4:35 pm Hi Everyone, I'm new to this form, just wanted to check if anyone has bought a house & land package before in the Gerogery Hill area. As we are about to sign in a contract with EB homes for an unregistered land in the Corella release. Has anyone gone through this process before? as we are about to put a 5% deposit for the package and me and my husband are a bit worried of the process? We are first time home builders and very nervous and existed at the same time Thanks Eve22 Re: House & Land Packages vs Separate 14Jun 26, 2013 11:13 pm Eve22 Hi Everyone, I'm new to this form, just wanted to check if anyone has bought a house & land package before in the Gerogery Hill area. As we are about to sign in a contract with EB homes for an unregistered land in the Corella release. There is another thread titled something like "Gregory hills roll call" plus another "who else is building with EB" that would probably have heaps of info you are after. Best of luck. http://camdenbuild.blogspot.com.au/ by invite only please pm me Re: House & Land Packages vs Separate 16Jul 30, 2016 7:08 pm This post on this forum is too good.
