1. Soil\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

It\u2019s important to understand the type of soil prior to purchasing your land. Building your home\u2019s foundations ultimately depend on the soil you\u2019re building on.

2. Land Access \/ Council Restrictions \/ Covenants \/ Preservation Orders<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

You want to choose a beautiful block to build that beautiful home, so let\u2019s make sure there are no unsuspecting surprises. Covenants are specific to each land release and set by the developer; this information can be provided at the time of enquiry. It\u2019s important to review these before building. Our main contractual agreements relate to the size of your home relative to your block, as well as the building timeframe. At Brunslea Park you must begin building within 12 months of land purchase, and your landscaping must be complete 6 months after the completion of your build.
