Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house and land packages cost?
House and land package costs will vary depending on the land plot and the home design. Our packages vary widely, providing opportunities for beautiful homes for every budget. To learn more about our house and land packages, get in touch with the friendly team at Cougar Homes today.
How long will it take to build the house?
On average, it can take between 4 and 9 months to build a new home, depending on the complexity of the construction process and any unforeseen complications. Once we’ve set the process in motion, our team will keep you in the loop every step of the way, providing updates on the completion timeframe so you can plan your move.
Can I customise packages?
While certain house designs are attached to specific plots of land, you can customise a variety of aspects of the build. If the package is already design-approved, you may not be able to change the floor plan, or the actual size of the house - customisation options differ between different designs. However, many of our house and land packages include a consultation with the interior designer, who can help you achieve the look you're after.
What is included in a house and land package?
A house and land package includes a new home to be built on a plot of land that, once bought, is yours. Instead of finding yourself a plot of land and then hiring us to build a house on it, the land and the house design and construction all fall under a single transaction.
Why should I purchase a house and land package with Cougar Homes?
Buying a house and land package with Cougar Homes comes with many benefits:
- You don’t need to worry about renovating an existing home — we charge an upfront price for the house design and land, with options to customise certain aspects of the construction.
- Usually, when you buy an existing house, you must pay stamp duty for both the house and the land. With a house and land package, you only need to pay for the value of the land.
- House and land packages benefit almost everyone — they’re great for first-home buyers, families, downsizers, and property investors.
- You’re covered by a new-build warranty — you get the peace of mind that comes with a new home.
- You get better value for money and know exactly what you’ll pay upfront.
- You can choose the design that suits you best rather than settling for an existing house.
Are the houses in your house and land packages already built?
Some are, and some aren't - our house and land packages include a land plot and a house design. You can choose the most suitable and appealing design based on the land’s location, the described property features, the floor plan diagram, and more.
If you’re looking for a pre-built home, check our ‘Homes for Sale’ tab, or inquire with our friendly team using our online form. These may be part of a turn-key house and land package — these come with a pre-built house that you can move into upon purchase, hence the term ‘turn-key’: you turn the key and walk right in.
