Purchase land and construct
your dream home.

Embark on the journey of building your dream home by first securing the perfect piece of land. Our team provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from selecting the ideal location to arranging the best financing options.

With our expert guidance, you can confidently navigate the complexities of land acquisition and home construction, ensuring a seamless and successful project from start to finish.

Buying Off The Plan

Buying off-plan differs from traditional home purchases where you can physically inspect the property. It involves a leap of faith, as you're purchasing based on artist impressions and specifications. The advantage lies in potentially better value-for-money and avoiding the competitive auction environment. However, it requires a thorough understanding of what you're committing to.

Another benefit is the deposit requirement. Saving for a substantial deposit can be daunting, especially in Auckland's competitive market. Off-plan purchases often have more flexible lending rules, with lower deposit requirements compared to existing homes that typically demand a 20% deposit.

Land and Build Contract

This option allows you to purchase a plot of land while simultaneously contracting with a builder to create your dream home. With two separate contracts—one for the land and another for construction—you can enjoy greater control over the design and customization of your new property. Our flexible stage payment system means you only pay as construction progresses, making it easier to manage your budget. Let our team of experts guide you through the process and help turn your vision into reality with a seamless financing solution!

Progress Payments

Firstly, a 10% deposit will be required to secure the contract. This is then included in the first drawdown.Normally paid by cash or equity.

The second drawdown tends to be 20% of the total balance of the build contract.
