Finance and First-Home Help

When you’re looking at house and land packages in Drouin, understanding how the finance works is just as important as choosing the right home design. We work with trusted finance partners to help you make sense of land contracts, build contracts and fixed-price house and land options, so you can move ahead with confidence.

How house and land finance works in Victoria

With a house and land package, you’ll usually have two parts to your finance. First is the land contract, where your lender helps you settle on the block in Drouin. Second is the build contract with your home builder, with progress payments made at each stage of construction. Fixed-price house and land packages mean your main build costs are locked in upfront, helping you budget and compare options across the Gippsland region.

Before you commit, it’s important to understand your borrowing capacity, deposit requirements and how repayments will work while your home is being built. Our team can connect you with specialists who focus on first home buyer support and new home finance, so you can get clear answers on your situation.

First-home buyer support

If you’re building your first home, there are government incentives and schemes that may help you get into the market sooner. We help you explore:

  • FHOG eligibility and how it applies to new homes
  • Stamp duty concessions for eligible first-home buyers
  • Low-deposit and guarantee-style schemes that may reduce upfront savings
  • Lender pre-approval and what documents you’ll need
  • Savings and deposit planning to get you finance-ready

From there, you can book a chat with a consultant to see which Drouin house and land packages best match your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

House and land packages combine a block of land with a home design that suits the estate and lot. You’ll sign a land contract and a separate build contract. Fixed price options help you understand your key costs upfront and compare packages across the Gippsland region with confidence.

Typical inclusions cover flooring, appliances, cabinetry, energy-efficient fittings, a developer-approved façade and essential site costs where applicable. You’ll receive a clear inclusions list so you know exactly what’s covered before you commit.

Eligible buyers may be able to access the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), stamp duty concessions and low-deposit government schemes. A finance consultant can help you understand your borrowing power, deposit requirements and how construction finance works for house and land packages.

When your block in Drouin titles, the paperwork is complete, the land is officially yours and we have the green light to move your home into construction. From this point, the build can begin as soon as you’re ready.

Because every home and block is different, build times can vary based on your design, site conditions, approvals and weather. What titled land does guarantee is that you can get started sooner, without waiting on developer works or registration delays.

Once titles are issued, our team will walk you through the next steps and keep you updated at each stage of the build through to handover.
