Key questions to ask before choosing your block

To get the most out of your consultation, here are some smart questions to ask our team:

  • Are there any easements or restrictions on the land? Easements can impact where you can build or place structures like sheds, pergolas, or pools. Knowing about drainage or utility access up front helps avoid surprises later.
  • Are there any covenants or design requirements? Some lots may come with specific guidelines, such as fencing types, setbacks from the street, or whether a single or double storey home is permitted. These aren’t negatives, they’re designed to keep the neighbourhood looking great and your investment protected.
  • What are the anticipated site costs? Not all land is created equal. Blocks with significant slope (fall) or soil issues may need extra earthworks, which can add to your overall build cost. Our team can flag these things early so you can plan accordingly.
  • Where is the crossover located? The crossover determines where your driveway and garage will sit. This can affect your house orientation, garden layout, and even which way the morning sun flows through your living room.
  • Are there any current offers or incentives? Fencing, landscaping, or even rebate packages can help you save thousands. Ask about any promotions that may apply to your chosen block.

 

Extra tips to help you decide
  • Think about lifestyle: Want morning walks? Look for a lot near Northside’s walking trails. Love gardening? Choose a block with a sunny backyard.
  • Futureproof your plans: Consider how long you’ll stay. If you’re planning to grow your family, a larger lot might offer the flexibility to extend later
  • Visualise your build: Picture how your preferred home design might sit on the land. Our team can even help with house and land packages that already meet design guidelines.
