Building your first home in Perth, in the right order.

Western Australia has help for eligible first home buyers building new, including the First Home Owner Grant and lower transfer duty on land. The rules, amounts and thresholds change, and the relevant authority decides who is eligible. Our licensed broker partner checks the current details and what may apply to you.

With house and land there is usually a land deposit, a deposit to secure your home, and then progress payments during the build, which your bank pays from your loan. How much you need depends on the lender and your circumstances, and our licensed broker partner talks you through it before you commit.

The block's width, depth and estate rules decide which designs fit. Looking at land and design together keeps your choices realistic.

From choosing land and a design through to contracts, finance, construction and handover, we guide you through each stage. The build itself usually takes about 8 to 10 months.
