Experience a new people-first way of finding your perfect place. One where your aspirations mean as much to us as they do you.

Letโ€™s discover your new Locale.

Free Guide: Everything you want to (and need to) know when considering building your first home.

How much deposit do you need? What to consider when looking at floorplans? How to choose the right builder for you? How much LMI will I need to pay? What even is LMI?

We answer these and so many more questions in our FREE First Home Buyerโ€™s Guide.

Why choose Locale as your building broker

Got questions? Weโ€™ve got answers

Why should I go through you and not directly through a builder?2024-05-08T10:35:47+08:00

Choosing to work with Locale Homes means you’ll have a property partner in your corner every step of the way. Advocating for you. We’ll take the time to understand your unique needs, so we can help guide you toward the perfect place for you, not whatโ€™s best for anyone else.

There are numerous factors to consider when building your dream home, such as design, land utilisation, and inclusions and our primary aim is to simplify the entire process, making it stress-free and easy. Weโ€™ll tell you everything you need to hear so you feel empowered to make the right decision.

You also get choice, choice without all of the hard work researching and speaking to different builders. That’s what we do.

Leveraging our industry experience, we also work on your behalf to negotiate the best deal.

Do I have to pay for your service?2025-01-09T14:36:12+08:00

At Locale Homes, we do not charge any additional upfront fees to our customers.

We get paid by the respective building company when we identify the right home for our clients. If you choose to work with our in-house finance team at Locale Finance, our in-house finance brokers get paid by the banks directly so there are no extra costs to you.

This model follows the same standard approach as other insurance or financial brokerages.

Our business is based on customer experience and advocacy, unlike individual corporations pushing their one product on you. We are all for choice and providing unbiased advice.

Your price will be comparable and often more affordable than other new home options, with the added value of having an advocate with you each step of the way to ensure your expectations are met and your purchasing experience is one to be celebrated.

We focus on providing true value for money for our customers. We ensure youโ€™re aligned with a builder that can deliver on; customer experience, timeframes, quality construction, high-level finishes, proper aftercare, and a lifetime warranty. We carefully select and partner with builders who share our values and have a proven track record of working in the best interest of our customers.

This means you can have peace of mind knowing that you wonโ€™t find yourself in a horror story scenario with hidden costs, poor quality, and prolonged building times.

If you do not proceed, there is no cost to you. Weโ€™re here to advocate for our customers and if you choose to not proceed based on what is right for you, we are in support of your decision.

 

Do you work with all land developers?2024-05-08T10:41:09+08:00

Yes, we work with all land developers, from the largest in Australia to smaller, boutique developments.

Our reputation in the industry has given us unparalleled access to a wide range of land estates. This allows us to offer our customers an extensive selection of land options that are tailored to their specific needs and preferences.

Additionally, as we work for you, we are here to advocate for the best lot of land and contract terms.

Do you only work with first home buyers?2024-05-08T10:15:30+08:00

We are committed to helping anyone find their perfect place, regardless of whether it’s their first, second, or third home.

While we do offer a helping hand to first homebuyers in particular, we are here to support all buyers in their home-buying journey. Our focus is on providing a customer-centric experience that is personalised to your unique needs and aspirations.

Who should use a broker?2025-01-09T15:32:21+08:00

Everyone.

Of course we would say that. But if you answer yes to any of these questions, a building broker could be a game-changer for you:

  • First home buyer?
  • Overwhelmed and not sure where to start?
  • Too busy to shop around or even get started?
  • Wasting time comparing builders and specs?
  • Are you wasting time shopping around for a builder?
  • Need advice on what builder to go with?
  • New to WA and unsure about builders or finance options and government incentives?
  • Looking for a full service solution to sorting your finance, finding land and the perfect home design from a builder that will deliver?

If any of these sound like you, weโ€™re here to help simplify the process and guide you every step of the way. We’ll do that hard work for you.

Are you a broker?2025-01-09T14:36:00+08:00

In a way, yes โ€“ you could consider us to be a building broker platform with a finance arm. However, thereโ€™s a significant difference between Locale Homes and other building brokers out there. Weโ€™re proud to bring a level of scale and sophistication to the West Australian market (and eventually nationwide) that is unparalleled in the industry.

One of the ways we differentiate ourselves is through our ability to seamlessly integrate with builders using best-in-class processes, our dedicated support teams, and our ongoing investment in technology platforms. This means that weโ€™re able to align with different builders’ processes and offer you a streamlined, hassle-free experience. Youโ€™ll have a singular point of contact throughout the entire buying journey, from attaining finance, selecting your land, to building your dream home. No need to worry about the confusion that comes when dealing with multiple people.

You can rest assured knowing that we will be by your side, offering guidance through the decision-making process and helping you steer clear of any costly mistakes.

Are you a builder?2024-06-27T13:14:39+08:00

No, weโ€™re not a builder. We will work with you to identify what will make your home truly unique and meets your requirements. Once we have a clear understanding of your vision, weโ€™ll help you find the perfect builder who can make your dreams a reality.

Throughout the process, weโ€™ll be your singular point of contact and guide you every step of the way. Weโ€™ll provide you with a behind-the-scenes look at all the important considerations involved in designing and selecting your home. We want to make this process hassle-free so that you can focus on enjoying the exciting journey of creating your dream home.

Our Managing Director has led some of Australiaโ€™s most successful building brands, so we know exactly how the industry works and what you need to consider when making one of your largest life decisions.

This independence means we’ll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear to get you to sign on the dotted line. We vet our partners for financial stability, quality construction standards, and high customer satisfaction. We take care of the important details so you have peace of mind.
