​I cannot recommend Audris at Locale Homes highly enough! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly friendly and approachable, making what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and manageable.
​She went above and beyond to help me secure the perfect piece of land, but more importantly, she gave me the confidence I needed to actually start my building journey. I am so grateful for her expertise and genuine care.

Have had the most amazing experience with Locale and in particular Alistair who I just can’t thank enough for what he has done for us at an extremely difficult time. Securing our piece of land and building our new home is the most unbelievable venture we are so looking forward to and so excited! The journey so far has been smooth with everything explained to really put us in the picture of our dream becoming a reality in the not too distant future. Can’t thank you enough Alistair and Locale and really looking forward to our progress this year!

Thanks to Kristen and the team for finding me the perfect block of land and organising everything from working with developers and builders to finding the perfect house plan. The whole process has been fantastic, they always answer every question, keep me in the loop with updates and I would be so lost without all their work. Highly recommend Locale Homes.

Let’s get to know a little more about you:

What kind of loan is available for house and land packages?2026-01-21T14:51:25+08:00

There is a type of loan that is specifically designed for house and land packages. It’s called a construction home loan, and it works a bit differently than a loan for an established property.

When you settle on the land, the lender won’t give you all of the funds from the loan. Instead, they’ll partially draw your home loan and release some of the funds to purchase the land. The remaining funds will be held by the lender and used to pay the builder’s progress claims as you reach certain milestones during construction.

Because of this, during the construction phase, your repayments will be reduced as you’ll only be required to pay the interest. Once your home loan is fully drawn (meaning you’ve paid the builder in full and received your keys), you’ll start making principal and interest payments.

Why buy new?2024-07-29T16:12:30+08:00

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.

What is a building broker?2026-01-15T08:59:18+08:00
A building broker, new homes advocate, or new homes broker is a professional (or team in our case) who assists buyers in navigating the intricate process of building a new home from start to finish. Instead of working for a builder, a land developer, or a bank, a building broker works for you.
They serve as your partner and guide throughout the whole home-buying journey – from sorting out your finances, searching for land, finding the right home design, selecting the builder, all the way through construction. Their primary role is to streamline the process, making the often overwhelming journey feel exciting while ensuring you feel empowered in your decisions. We’re here to ensure you achieve a high-quality home build through a trusted builder at the best possible price and on time.
When you engage a building broker, they take the time to fully understand your requirements and aspirations, as well as your financial situation. Since building brokers are independent, with extensive experience in the industry, they are dedicated to helping you make an informed decision, and by working with a panel of builders, they ensure you get a competitive deal.
Using a broker, you gain peace of mind knowing that you have an experienced and unbiased building expert by your side throughout the entire building journey.
Can I customise my home design?2026-02-12T09:54:26+08:00

Yes. Most of our packages can be personalised to suit your block orientation, lifestyle, and budget, from floorplan tweaks to finish selections.

What is a house and land package?2026-01-21T14:46:17+08:00
This is where we bundle a block of land and a home design that perfectly fits the lot and design guidelines of the estate in one package deal.
Instead of purchasing the land and then separately designing and building a home, a house and land package allows you to select a home design that fits the chosen block, streamlining the process. The approach will allow you to work towards a specific budget, with no hidden surprises.
Our team will help you select a block, which reduces surprises that may not seem obvious if you buy directly from a developer, reducing costs and enabling you to maximise the home design on your block of land.
This is a popular solution for first home buyers.
What is LMI?2026-08-04T16:54:36+08:00
Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is insurance that protects the lender if you default on your loan repayments. It is required if you borrow more than 80% of your home’s value. LMI can be avoided in a few ways: by saving for a larger deposit, having someone guarantee your loan, applying for a Keystart loan (available in Western Australia only), or utilising other government incentives.
The actual amount of LMI that you’ll pay depends on the LVR, the lender’s rates, and other factors about the property being purchased. LMI can end up costing several thousand dollars, so if you can avoid it, that’s the best case – instead, spend that money on furnishing your new home.
What changes have been made to the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme?2026-01-21T14:52:23+08:00

The scheme, previously known as First Home Guarantee, has been expanded on earlier than initially planned, launched on 1 October 2025 instead of January 2026. Here’s what’s new:

  1. No more place limits
    Previously capped at around 50,000 spots per year, the scheme will now have unlimited places, so any eligible first home buyer with a 5% deposit can apply.
  2. No income caps
    Income thresholds (previously $125,000 for individuals and $200,000 for couples) have been removed completely—high-income earners can now also qualify.
  3. Significantly higher property price caps
    The maximum property values eligible under the scheme are rising across all states to better reflect market conditions. Highlights include:
    WA (Perth metro): from $600,000 → $850,000
    Other states also see major increases (e.g., Sydney to $1.5M; Brisbane to $1M)
