What are the benefits of purchasing house and land in Mernda?

Mernda is only 50 minutes from the heart of the Melbourne CBD, and on the doorstep of the sprawling hills of Central Victoria and the spectacular Kinglake National Park. It is a key part of Melbourne’s popular north east, and is surrounded by farmland and natural and cultural beauty. The town itself is close to both RMIT and La Trobe universities, and is home to a range of both private and public primary and secondary schools. If you love sport, then Mernda is the place for you, with facilities dotted all around the region. When you combine all this with children’s attractions such as an impressive adventure playground, it’s no wonder Mernda house and land packages are becoming increasingly popular with families.

What are the benefits of buying a house and land package?

One of the key benefits of buying a house and land package is price. It still remains one of the cheapest ways to buy a home in Australia. Anyone who has been to an auction recently knows how quickly they can get out of control. House and land packages can also be an easier way to build, with houses chosen to fit their blocks. And at Metricon we will be beside you all the way through the planning process. Buying a house and land package also means you get to live in your dream home. You can create a property exactly as you want it, one that suits your family, not someone else’s. Building with Metricon means flexibility for a great price, with a large range of brands, designs and facades to choose from. And if you buy in a new housing area, you are buying in a neighbourhood that is designed for families just like yours, with playgrounds and lots of open spaces.

Do you pay stamp duty on house and land packages?

Stamp duty is a tax on transactions, including property. Most Australians also pay stamp duty on transactions such as car registrations and purchases, and insurance premiums. Stamp duty is a state tax, which means how much you pay can depend on where you live. State governments also have the ability to offer some people, such as first-home-owners, stamp duty exemptions. In Mernda, and all across Victoria, you can pay less stamp duty when you buy a house and land package than you do when you buy an existing home. That is because stamp duty is only charged on the land portion of the package, not the house.
