Many people search for “Easy Start Homes reviews” before signing. This review covers who is behind the brand, what it sells to investors, what its guarantees say, what its reviews show, and the questions to ask before you commit.
Who Is Easystart Homes?
Easystart Homes’ website describes the brand as “proudly part of the Summit Homes Group”. According to its own website:
- It is “powered by” the Summit Homes Group, which it says has built over 47,000 homes
- Its footer shows “Reg. 10689”, the same builder registration number (BC10689) shown by Summit Homes
- Finance is offered through Westgate Home Loans (Australian Credit Licence 410232), part of the same group
- It has offices in Myaree (Perth), Bunbury and Busselton
The website does not name the legal entity that signs Easystart building contracts. Summit Homes trades through The Trustee for Summit Homes Group Trust (ABN 62 579 898 646). Before you sign, ask which entity is named on your contract and on your home indemnity insurance certificate.

Where Easystart Homes Builds
Easystart builds in the Perth metro area and the South West, including Bunbury and Busselton. Its enquiry form also lists regional WA areas such as the Great Southern, Wheatbelt, Goldfields-Esperance, Gascoyne and Margaret River. Its website features estates and display homes at locations including Byford, Bullsbrook, Alkimos and Henley Brook.
Easystart Homes House and Land Packages for Investors
Easystart’s property investment page markets “cost-effective, complete packages” for investors. It says its packages are “all inclusive”, covering items such as flooring, air-conditioning, painting and lighting, which makes them close to a turnkey package.
The same page promotes Easystart DHA-approved properties for investors. A DHA package means the home is leased to Defence Housing Australia under a separate lease. The lease terms, rent reviews and service fees are set by DHA, not the builder, so read the DHA lease before you commit.
When we checked, its homepage advertised “House & Land from $481/week*” without showing the conditions behind the asterisk, plus packages listed from $779,000 at Kingsford (Bullsbrook) and townhouses from $1,295,000 at Amberton Beach. Advertised prices change often, so treat them as a starting point only.
The investment page makes market claims such as “record low rental vacancy rates” and says a premium location means you “can expect great ROI”. It gives no figures or sources for those claims. Check vacancy and rent data yourself from an independent source for the exact suburb.
Easystart Homes Guarantees
Easystart’s guarantees page promotes:
- Price hold: a “12 Month Price Hold Guarantee” that secures your building price “for up to 12 months”. The page’s own search description refers to a 9-month price hold, so confirm which version applies to you
- Build time: a “12 Month Build Time” guarantee
- Fast Track: a 4-month pre-construction period for eligible customers
The full conditions sit in separate PDF documents. Ask for the guarantee terms that apply to your contract, what is excluded, when the clock starts, and what compensation is paid if a timeframe is missed.
How Easystart Homes Packages Are Sold
Easystart’s investment page sends buyers to its own sales team and offices. We found no statement on its website about selling through third-party property marketers. Packages built by many builders are also sold by marketers and “investment advisers” who are paid a commission by the builder or developer. If someone other than Easystart shows you an Easystart package, ask them in writing whether they will be paid a commission and how much.
If you use Westgate Home Loans, remember it is part of the same group as the builder. Ask how the broker is paid and compare its loan with at least one lender outside the group.
What Do Easy Start Homes Reviews Say?
| Platform | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ProductReview.com.au | 5.0 out of 5 from 446 reviews | 6 of the 35 reviews visible on the page were labelled “Fair Incentive” |
| 4.9 from 350 reviews | As displayed on Easystart’s own website |
On ProductReview, positive reviews often mention responsive staff, clear communication, costs that matched the estimate and the online progress portal. The smaller number of negative reviews mention handover and post-build issues such as fencing and landscaping coordination, finishing defects, a change of consultant, and one buyer who felt pressured during the sale.
ProductReview’s help centre says incentivised reviews must be disclosed, incentives must be offered whether a review is positive or negative, and every listing lets you filter incentivised reviews out. Use that filter to see how the rating looks without them. A high rating tells you about customer service. It does not tell you whether a package is fairly priced or whether the location will rent well.
