How to Buy Land near Newcastle – FAQ

Have you got questions on land for sale? Check out our frequently asked questions below.

How does buying land and building a house work?
When you buy land and build a house, your purchase is separated into two separate contracts: one for the home design and build, and one for the land sale. When you build a house in a master-planned community, you can customise your design as much as you desire, resulting in a home made to suit your lifestyle and your budget.

Is buying land a good investment?
The success of your investment depends on the average property price in the area, as well as proximity to amenities. For example: Waterford is closely located to the urban centre of Newcastle. As demand and overall interest in a certain area grows, the area typically gains more infrastructure and becomes more liveable. By buying land in a master-planned community, you compound these benefits at an affordable price: everything you need is just a stone’s throw away.

Do you get the first home buyer’s grant buying land?
You may be eligible for the NSW government’s First Home Owner Grant. For anyone building new properties worth $750,000 or less, you may be able to register to receive $10,000 towards the property price, as well as being eligible for the First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme and a stamp duty discount or exemption. Note that AVID does not administer these services. For more information, apply through Revenue NSW.

What type of loan do you need to buy land?
To buy land, you will need to apply for a land loan. You can apply for this with a home loan provider, but you will require a deposit – this varies depending on the lender. If your deposit is under 20%, you will be required to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) as well as any upfront administration fees.

For your home’s build, you will need to take out a construction loan. This is a short-term loan to help you kick off your build, and is generally payable over one year. Many lenders only require you to pay interest during construction rather than the full amount—when the build is completed this converts to a standard home loan.
