Building your first home from the ground up gives you so much choice – you are in control. And because everything is brand new, you won’t find yourself trying to love a bright red splashback or dealing with stained carpets. You can also be sure that it meets the latest building standards, meets sustainability requirements, is safe and secure for your family, and with appliances that are in warranty, you will have a home that needs a lot less care and maintenance. Plus, in WA, there are great incentives for first home buyers when building, which could mean significant savings or getting onto the property ladder sooner. When buying new, you are securing the land and the building as a wholesale product. Once built, often there is an uplift in value due to being a retail ‘ready built’ product. When you build, you get to create your perfect place from scratch.
