Building your dream home in Ocean Grove is both exciting and daunting. It’s a time-consuming process where you have a lot to consider and navigate – especially when you are building your first home. For first-time homeowners, choosing a home and land package can be an easier and most cost-effective way of making it a reality.
Here is a brief checklist of what you should consider when choosing a home and land package in Ocean Grove.
Choose your home first
You might think that you have to find a block of land first before you start building. However, at Hamlan, we suggest you choose your floor plan first. Why?
You don’t want to be lured into buying a block of land to realise that it’s actually very limited in what can be built on it. Or that the orientation of the block means you can’t build the house you really want on it. Seeking out the land for our clients is part of our service, so if you know which home you want and you’re sure of what estate or area you want to live in, then let the Hamlan new home consultants help you in your search.
Our new home consultants are friendly and knowledgeable and can easily tell you if a block will suit the home you want. And if the block you’re looking at doesn’t suit the home you want, our new home consultants can find you the block that has the right orientation for that design.
Settle on a location
The next step in your home-building journey in Ocean Grove is deciding where you want to live. Once you have determined this, find a reputable builder in the area with a home and land package that fits your lifestyle. Every estate and builder will differ slightly in what they offer; some might provide additional extras or include appliances.
Hamlan brings you stylish, award-winning home and land packages suitable for a range of lifestyles.
Visit display homes
Once you have settled for a home and land package in Ocean Grove, it is helpful to visit display homes built by the same builder to get an idea about the quality of their work.

Research your potential builder
Before settling for a home and land package, ensure you are comfortable and trust your builder. Ask for references and read online reviews from previous clients. Does the builder have the correct building licences and insurance in place? A professional builder will also support you through the planning process of your build organising permits and will ensure the proposed home design meets your needs and expectations.
Choosing a home design
Hamlan’s experienced new home consultants offer honest advice and are passionate about finding the perfect new home solution for you. To do so, they’ll need to learn more about you and your family and what your current needs are now and what they may be in the future.
From there they can offer you practical advice on what sort of designs will suit your lifestyle and budget. It’s not about making sure every member of your family has their own bedroom—it’s about really understanding how you live and how you can make every metre in your new home count.
The benefits of a home and land package
- Flexibility to change the home or select another block more suitable to your lifestyle.
- The land is already paired with a suited home design by a professional.
- You have a clear understanding of the finished price upfront.
- Build into an emerging market.
