Choosing the right residential block of land can be an overwhelming process, especially for first-time homebuyers. It's important to consider a range of factors to ensure that you select a block of land that meets your needs and budget. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when selecting the right residential block of land:

Location:

The location of your block of land is crucial. Consider the proximity to local amenities, such as schools, hospitals, public transportation, and shopping centers. Also, consider the surrounding environment, including access to parks, green spaces, and recreational areas.

Size:

Consider the size of the block of land you need. Ensure that the block is large enough to accommodate the size of the home you want to build and any additional features such as sheds, outdoor entertaining areas and even room for your beloved pets to run around.

Orientation:

Consider the orientation of the block of land. Finding the perfect orientation for your new home on your block of land is important in ensuring that your home captures as much natural light as possible in your living, dining, and kitchen areas. These rooms are some of the most important rooms in your house, as these will be the spaces that you and your family are likely to spend the most time in – and you’ll want them to be as light and airy and welcoming as possible.

Slope:

Consider the slope of the block of land. If you have an uneven block of land, it is important to understand that this can increase the cost of your build due to the site works involved. Our team will help you work design a home to get the best value from your site.

Soil:

Consider the soil quality of the block of land. Different soil types can impact construction costs, drainage, and landscaping options. We will work with you to get site reports done and build a home to best suit the soil conditions on your land.

Zoning and Regulations:

Ensure that the block of land is zoned for residential use and meets all local regulations and requirements.
