6 Things to Consider When Choosing Your First Melbourne Home

Start with your block dimensions, overall spending plan and essential rooms. Separate must-have features from optional extras, then review suitable floorplans with your consultant. This gives you a practical shortlist to explore in more detail.

Personalisation options depend on the design, site requirements and scope of the build. Ask which layout changes, facade options and interior selections are available, and request written confirmation of any additional costs before approving changes.

Request the written inclusions specification and review it alongside your quote and contract. Ask your consultant to explain exclusions, allowances and optional upgrades. Confirm which display-home features are included in your chosen home.

Review the land details, proposed design, site costs, inclusions and contract arrangements. Ask about land title timing, estate requirements and any conditions attached to the advertised price. Make sure you understand what remains to be arranged or paid for separately.
