Buying a House & Land Package: How It Works

What is a House & Land package?

A House & Land package is when you buy land and a home design in one process, but with two contracts – one with your builder and one with the developer.

Easier and more convenient

Buying a House & Land package is the easy, hassle-free way to build your new home. Rather than searching for the right land and then trying to figure out which home design will actually work, we’ve done all the hard work for you. 

As the experts in House & Land packages, our experienced team handpicks the best lots on the market and matches them with the perfect homes and layouts. Once you’ve chosen your home design and lot, and paid your deposits, all that’s left to do is decorate!

Get access to better sites

We have trusted relationships with the developers of the top estates across metro Melbourne, which means that when you build with Carlisle, you get exclusive access to the very best sites – often before the buying public even hears about them. 

And as we only work with reputable developers, you can be confident about the quality of the estates. These estates are of the highest standard and offer the very best amenities, including parklands, schools, and access to transport and retail.

No nasty surprises

We understand that building a new home can be a stressful process and the last thing you need are any unexpected – and costly – surprises.

Our team of experts spends hours researching every lot, every estate and every floor plan so we can guarantee there will be no nasty surprises – the floor plan will always fit, the soil quality will always be good, and you won’t be sprung with any additional costs – in fact, we offer a 100% fixed-price guarantee to prove it. 

Buy your home faster

As you don’t have to waste time searching for your own piece of land or applying for council approvals to build (we’ve got that covered too!), you can save a great deal of time when you buy a house and land together. The result? You can get into your new home faster.

What to expect

Here’s a step-by-step guide to how the House & Land package process with us works:

Step 1: Select Carlisle Homes as your builder.

Step 2: Select your perfect house and floor plan.

Step 3: Our sales team will help you find the right estate and lot for you and your family, considering factors such as schools, transport and amenities. You then choose one of our exclusive house & land packages.

Step 4: You pay a deposit to Carlisle to secure the house.

Step 5: After the deposit to Carlisle has been paid, our sales consultants will contact the land developer and inform them that you will be depositing on this particular House & Land package. We will let them know the specific lot you are interested in, and pass on your contact details.

Step 6: The land developer will contact you to make an appointment to come in and pay the deposit on your chosen land.

Step 7: Once you’ve paid the deposit to the land developer, both your house and land are now secured. Congratulations!
