Where Fairmont Homes Builds
Fairmont builds across Adelaide and regional South Australia. Estates on its website include Miravale and The Entrance at Angle Vale, Riverlea Park, St Yves at Roseworthy, Aston Hills at Mount Barker, Hurtle Grove at Old Reynella, Vista at Seaford Heights, Kidman Park and Parafield Gardens.
Fairmont Homes House and Land Packages and Pricing
Fairmont offers two ranges: Fairmont Signature, with more than 100 designs and custom design at no extra cost, and Fairmont First, its fixed-price affordable range. When we checked, it listed 23 house and land packages from $626,752 to $883,912. One listing notes that “the land in this house and land package is not owned by the builder”.
Its terms say “fixed price” refers to the build and land costs on a lot chosen by Fairmont, and that unknown site costs may change the final price. Under Fairmont First terms, rock, soil removal, landscaping and retaining are the buyer’s cost. Ask for these in writing for your lot.
Fairmont Homes Warranties
Fairmont promotes a 50-year structural guarantee covering footings, load-bearing brickwork and structural timbers, with exclusions such as natural disasters and tree damage. Its terms say it can be voided if maintenance obligations aren’t followed and that it does not transfer to later owners. It also offers a 6-month maintenance period and an after-handover program called Faircare. South Australia’s statutory warranties apply as well.
How Fairmont Homes Packages Are Sold
Fairmont’s marketing is aimed mainly at first home buyers, families and upgraders, and its packages are sold through Fairland Group. Fairmont First terms list finance partners including Australian Finance Group and HomeStart Finance. We found no public evidence of third-party investor marketers, but always ask who introduced a package and how they are paid.
What it means for you: when a package is sold through a marketer or investment group, that seller is commonly paid a commission by the builder or developer. That commission is part of the package price, whether or not it’s shown on the contract. Builder commissions can run into tens of thousands of dollars. Here’s how hidden commissions in house and land packages work.
