And it\u2019s one daunting process that you want to get right.<br \/><br \/>At Hamlan we\u2019re happy to support clients through this by providing advice and guidance or by directing you to a land agent who can help you find the right block for the home and lifestyle you want. By finding the right block of land, your building journey can be a seamless, enjoyable experience\u2014and that\u2019s exactly how it should be!<br \/><br \/>So where to start? We spoke to Sam Parsons, the director of real estate agency Avenue Five, and asked for his top advice on how to navigate your way through purchasing land for your dream home, and here is what he has to say\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fools rush in\u2014so do your homework!<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We\u2019re spoilt for choice when it comes to land options across the Geelong and the Surf Coast. But too much choice can sometimes add to the challenge.<br \/><br \/>First things first, Sam says it\u2019s imperative to speak to an expert before you start.<br \/><br \/>\u201cIt can make or break it for some clients,\u201d Sam says. \u201cUnderstanding the process from the start is very important and the more upfront information and education you have will make the process of buying and building fun and smooth, and will make you want to do it again and again.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThe Hamlan team is experienced and educated to give as much information upfront. They will set the expectations and ensure clients understand and are happy with the process.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Sam says all buyers should understand the additional costs of preparing land for a build.<br \/><br \/>\u201cTake your time,\u201d Sam says. \u201cSlope and fall is a huge one and we often see and hear purchasers that didn\u2019t understand the real level on the fall of the block or seek advice from the builder they may be wanting to build with. These underground site costs can really break a dream and make the client have to compromise on their build, landscaping and lifestyle.\u201d<br \/><br \/>If you\u2019re restricted by budget, then it\u2019s important to research all the available options and keep an open mind to different locations.<br \/><br \/>\u201cDon\u2019t say no to an area without giving it a chance,\u201d Sam says. \u201cUnderstand what\u2019s currently there and what will be there in the future as this can really help a clever purchase.<br \/><br \/>\u201cUnderstand the vision of the area, also understand what the land value will be compared to your overall budget and speak to the builder to get some ideas on what your overall costs may be.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Here are some of the options available to us in the Geelong and Surf Coast regions:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-290654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Site-sign_1000px.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Land option 1: Greenfield Estates<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Affordability and amenities make greenfield estates, or new suburbs, an appealing and easy option for those seeking land. Geelong spots such as Armstrong Creek, Mt Duneed, Fyansford and Lovely Banks through to Surf Coast areas in towns such as Torquay, Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale offer blocks of land in varying sizes and burgeoning community hubs.<br \/><br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s great as you can build your dream home in a location you can choose to be in,\u201d Sam says.<br \/><br \/>\u201cLike-minded community individuals live here that want to say hi, that want to meet their neighbours, that want to feel part of a new community.<br \/><br \/>\u201cYou can plan to buy next door to family, or your friends around the corner.<br \/>\u201cThe amenity and master planned communities now have so much value to offer and are often in strategically located areas such as Armstrong creek or the Geelong Northern growth corridor.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Greenfield estates are the most straight-forward option when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/new-home-builders-geelong\/\">building a new home<\/a> in terms of land that\u2019s titled and ready to go, however there are still things to take into consideration before purchasing.<br \/><br \/>\u201cConsider the type of street,\u201d Sam says. \u201cIs it a quiet street? Is it a thoroughfare? Is it close to the walking paths, playgrounds and parks? Where are the amenities? Can you walk the kids to the local school or to the shops?\u201d<br \/><br \/>Sam says to keep an eye on the size of the block and its orientation to make sure it can fit your ideal floor plan. Orientation is most important, as it determines how your new home can take advantage of the northern sun and ultimately create a more energy-efficient home.<br \/><br \/>\u201cAn odd-shaped lot can be a challenge to site the home, and slope can create large costs and issues with fitting the home on the land correctly,\u201d he says.<br \/><br \/>\u201cI often say for slope, what you think it is with your naked eye, double it. Ask for engineering plans to see the surveyed slope or finishing levels.\u201d<br \/><br \/>You also need to consider easements and developer approvals &#8211; such as estate covenants and design guidelines.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThese change from estate to estate, so ensure you understand what materials, colours, home designs, there is a lot to understand about each development,\u201d Sam says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12411 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34-500x334.png 500w, https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34-800x534.png 800w, https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Untitled-design-34-1280x854.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Land option 2: Acreage Land<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Two lockdowns and a shift into working from home has made an acreage lifestyle more appealing to many Victorians.<br \/><br \/>Hot locations for acreages in our region are \u2014 Ocean Grove, Torquay and the Golden Plains (Bannockburn, Teesdale, Inverleigh and Lethbridge).<br \/><br \/>\u201cWe\u2019re lucky in our region as you can get great acreage\/lifestyle land within 30 minutes of Geelong CBD,\u201d Sam says.<br \/><br \/>\u201cAcreage is highly sought after and over the past three years has seen a huge increase in demand.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThis absolutely suits growing families, and people who want to spend time outside enjoying their yard space. There\u2019s space for cubby houses, animals, sheds and workshops.<br \/><br \/>\u201cTradies often are very keen as the large shed often saves them money on storage and yard spaces for their businesses.\u201d<br \/><br \/>However despite the many positives, there\u2019s a lot to consider when seeking acreage land.<br \/><br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand and look at the building envelopes, setbacks from fences, proximity to amenities, zoning and what type of future development is in place,\u201d Sam says.<br \/><br \/>\u201cMost acreage-style blocks may not have sewer connections so it\u2019s important to understand if a septic system is needed. Often gas isn\u2019t available and gas bottles or all electricity will be needed.<br \/><br \/>\u201cOften there may be design guidelines if it\u2019s a small development from 10-20 allotments, this can be a positive as it ensures other neighbours will be following quality and design restrictions that guard the overall streetscape.\u201d<br \/><br \/>When it comes to electricity on an acreage, you need to consider whether the block has power at the front of the home as there are significant costs to running power underground.<br \/><br \/>Other aspects to consider are Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) and its associated overlays.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-290660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Knock-down-rebuild.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Land option 3: Knockdown\/Rebuild<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Maybe you love where you live but you\u2019ve outgrown your home? Or you\u2019ve found a house that is irreparable but on a great street. Or you just want to live in a more established suburb or be in a specific school zone. Think suburbs such as Newtown, Geelong West and Belmont. A knockdown rebuild can be more cost effective than a renovation and is a great option if you\u2019re keen on a specific area.<br \/><br \/>\u201cHamlan specialise in knockdown rebuilds and building in established areas so it&#8217;s very important to have the conversation with them early,\u201d Sam says.<br \/><br \/>\u201cIf there is a vacant block with surrounding homes that can be a great option. The key things to be aware of are neighbouring homes and offsets, council and building regulations.<br \/><br \/>\u201cAt first glance it may look great but depending on the neighbour setbacks, orientation and overshadowing a double storey home may not be able to be built so it\u2019s always important to seek advice from a builders rep sales consultant from Hamlan to have them inspect it and determine the feasibility of the project.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Sam recommends gathering any plans for subdivision and engineering if available and showing them to a Hamlan new home consultant. Details such as setbacks can be an issue \u2013 for example if the home is currently set back at 10m don\u2019t assume you\u2019ll be able to keep this set-back with a new build.<br \/><br \/>\u201cOften within a 10-minute conversation and information session they can say if it will work or not, if it will be a challenge, the approximate costings and things to look out for,\u201d he says.<br \/><br \/>\u201cOften expenses pop up such as moving power lines underground, extra drainage needed, retaining walls due to slope and existing fences.\u201d<br \/><br \/>If you\u2019ve on the lookout for land in an established suburb, Sam says it\u2019s best to start by looking at the surroundings.<br \/><br \/>\u201cIs it flat? Is there slope? What do the neighbours\u2019 homes and setbacks look like? Is there good access in the street and also around the site? Sites on busy roads or hard to access can increase complexity and costings.\u201d<br \/><br \/>And if you feel like your online real estate searches for land are coming up nil, Sam says contact estate agents like himself.<br \/><br \/>\u201cWe often have sellers, vendors, clients that may have a great location site but don\u2019t have it on the market but would consider selling,\u201d he says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-290650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hamlan.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Sam-Parsons.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sam Parsons, Director, Avenue Five<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Summary<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Purchasing land is a minefield with so many details to consider.
