Build your new home with us
If you’ve always dreamt of owning your own home, now is a great time to take a closer look as you could find that the cost of investing in your own home is more affordable than you think.
Owning your own home offers you numerous benefits over staying in the rental market where rental increases are unknown and unwelcome and moving is necessary on the whim of the landlord. Choosing to build a new home gives you the ability to invest in a growth asset, that will give you financial security, as the value of your home increases over time.

7 Step Process of Building a New Home
So, your search is over, and after all those hours of research you have found just the right block of land, and a Simply Living floorplan that you love. With the help of our New Home Consultant, we will work with you to bring your dream home together.
If you are just beginning your search our New Home Consultant will be more than happy to help you find a Simply Living floorplan and block of land that will suit your lifestyle and your budget.
At this point your New Home Consultant will be able to provide you with a quotation on your new home.
Once your preliminary deposit is paid you will receive a site plan of your new home sited on your land. At this stage you will also need to speak to your bank or mortgage broker to ensure that finance is available to you. If you don’t have a broker our team will be happy to help you find just the right person to find a home loan that suits your needs.

Why pay someone else’s mortgage when you could be paying your own?

As a first-time home owner, you may be eligible for the Victorian or NSW Government’s First Home Owner Grant which will help you get into the property market and be on your way to owning “the great Australian dream”.
The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme was initially introduced to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership. It is a national scheme funded by the states and territories and administered under their own legislation.
Under the scheme, a one-off grant is payable to first home owners that satisfy all the eligibility criteria.
Am I eligible for the First Home Owner Grant?
The State Revenue Office of Victoria and Revenue NSW has certain criteria to identify if you are eligible to receive the First Home Owner Grant in your state.
