Frequently asked questions

I want to build my first home, where do I start?

There is no hard-and-fast rule about where to start your building journey – you could start researching land and where you want to live, or take a look at display homes to get an idea of what layout you want for your home – follow your gut and what gets you excited! That being said, early on in the process you will want to get an idea of what you can borrow. We know sorting your money isn’t the funnest part of the building process, but finding out how much you can borrow means you have an idea of what you can afford. We help you sort your money with our Free Finance Health Check. You’re welcome!

What is a house & land package?

A house & land package is a home and a block of land in one package. These packages are great because you will know what the build and land will cost which makes budgeting easier.

What are land titles?

Blocks of land come with a document called a ‘Title’. Titles are legal documents issued by the Government with the details of the plot of land, as well as the current owner/s name. Lots in new estates won’t always have Titles issued, so you’ll need to wait for them before you can build your new home, but lucky for you this means we can lock in the price of the block!

What is a house & land package loan?

A house & land package requires a special type of loan. In fact, there are two loans: one for the land and one for the construction of the house. The loan is set up in a way that you buy the land upfront, then you pay for the house at each milestone of the building process. These are called progress payments. Your repayments will only be the loan interest until the build is finished. Once construction is completed, you’ll start making principal and interest repayments.

Hear from our happy clients

Very happy with my experience building with Easystart. 2nd time building and it was better in every aspect from my last time with another builder. No price increases after pre-start as promised and excellent communication the whole time from everyone I dealt with (I had loads of questions).

Delivered to my pleasant surprise, the highest level of professionalism and expertise. I could not be happier with the final product and top quality finishing throughout the new home. I highly recommend him and his team's professional services to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled and professional construction company to build their dream home. Thank you Ethan and the Summit Team once again for making my Dream Home a reality and a major goal achieved.

I have only had positive experiences building with easystart homes! From the pre-construction all the way through to handover easystart have been excellent to work with. All the summit homes staff specifically Ashley , Hannah  and Sam  have all helped make this stressful process enjoyable. Not only have they been honest, polite and reliable, they have made me feel at ease throughout the build.
