FAQs

The deposit required depends on the property’s purchase price, your lender and your financial circumstances. Some buyers may qualify for a home loan with a 5% deposit, while others may need 10–20%. The deposit payable under a sale contract can also differ from your home loan deposit. At AK Estate Group, we can help you understand the purchasing process and connect you with finance professionals.

Yes, but obtaining finance pre-approval before making an offer is strongly recommended. It helps establish your budget and makes your offer more competitive. If purchasing subject to finance, it’s important to understand the conditions and deadlines in your contract.

A building and pest inspection can identify issues such as structural damage, roof leaks, moisture problems and termite activity. Your options depend on the terms of your contract and applicable deadlines. You may be able to negotiate repairs or a price adjustment, or terminate under a valid contractual right. We help facilitate communication between buyers and sellers, while legal advisers handle contractual matters.

Yes. Properties can be sold with existing tenancy agreements. Buyers should review the lease, rental income, tenancy obligations and vacant possession arrangements before purchasing. We can assist with obtaining relevant tenancy information during the purchasing process.

Registered land has completed the relevant registration process and generally allows settlement to proceed according to the contract. Unregistered land is still awaiting registration, which may depend on subdivision works, approvals and government processing.

Unregistered land can offer buyers the opportunity to secure a lot in a developing estate, but registration dates are estimates and can change.

Delays can occur because of construction, infrastructure approvals, council requirements or title registration. The impact on settlement depends on your contract. We help buyers stay informed about developer updates, expected registration dates and the next steps in the process.

At AK Estate Group, we can help buyers explore land options alongside potential home designs and connect them with builders to assess suitability before proceeding.

It depends on the location, land price, building specifications and additional costs. Building a new home offers greater flexibility in design and inclusions, while an established property may provide faster occupancy. We can help compare suitable options based on your budget and requirements.

A house and land package typically combines a block of land with a proposed home design. Inclusions vary by builder and package and may cover flooring, appliances, landscaping, fencing and other finishes.

We encourage buyers to review the full inclusions schedule and understand any exclusions or potential additional costs.

In many cases, yes. Customisation depends on the builder, selected design, land dimensions, estate requirements and stage of the project. Changes may affect the final price and construction timeline.

Some builders offer fixed-price building contracts, subject to specific conditions, exclusions and variations. Buyers should confirm what is included and whether site costs, engineering requirements, upgrades or other adjustments could affect the final amount.

Yes. One of our key services is helping buyers find suitable land and explore new-home construction options through builders and industry contacts. We aim to simplify the process by helping coordinate discussions about land suitability, home designs, budgets and expected timelines.

Construction timelines vary depending on the builder, home design, council approvals, site conditions, weather and material availability. We recommend obtaining an estimated construction schedule directly from the builder before signing a building contract.

Factors can include location, frontage, shape, slope, orientation, easements, nearby amenities and the range of homes that can be built on the lot. A larger block is not always the better option if its layout or restrictions limit usability.
