Our approach to house and land packages
At Emporium Building Group, we take a slightly different approach to house and land packages in Canberra. Whereas many builders select the block of land and house, we let the client select the location and house design.
Our dedicated team is familiar with all the new developments and suburbs in the region, including Coombs, Denman Prospect, Fairley Estate (Murrumbateman), Googong, Moncrieff, Strathnairn (Ginninderry), Taylor, Throsby, Whitlam and Wright.
Our proven approach to organising a house and land package in Canberra is outlined below.
- Liaise with developers (in the client’s suburb of choice) to find the ideal block of land.
- Prepare the site for construction (in tandem with developer).
- Refer client to our design team. Alternatively, a client can use their own architect or designer.

Benefits of a house and land package
Purchasing a house and land package in Canberra has a number of benefits.
Lower conveyance duty
- Provided construction hasn’t commenced, and separate contracts exist for the land and house, conveyance duty is usually payable on the land only. (Please Note: buyers should always check the ACT Revenue Office’s website for the latest information on conveyance duty prior to signing a contract.)
All-inclusive pricing
- Most house and land packages in Canberra are marketed with an all-inclusive price – providing greater financial certainty. (Please Note: buyers should always check the inclusions and exclusions on any contract prior to signing.)
One point of contact
- Having a single builder responsible for land procurement, site preparation and construction makes life easier.
Flexible financing
- Many financial institutions offer specific “house and land” loans – also referred to as “turnkey” loans. These loans are comprised of two initial components: a standard mortgage for the land, and a construction loan (with drawdown facility) for the house. Upon completion, the borrowings are consolidated into a single mortgage.
