JG King Homes House and Land Packages and Guarantees

JG King sells its Alpha, Allure, Horizon, Up, Art and John G King collections. Its Alpha collection covers homes from 157 to 433 square metres for lots 10.5 to 16 metres wide. Its website showed few prices; one promotion advertised a four-bedroom Banksy 16 from $228,995.

Its house and land page directs buyers to its new home advisors rather than showing prices. We didn’t find dual occupancy or other investor-specific products.

JG King Homes promotes these guarantees, all with conditions:

  • Build time: a “100 Day Build Guarantee” on eligible metro designs, with conditions not published on the page we checked
  • Structural: a TRUECORE® 50-year structural warranty on the steel frame, subject to BlueScope’s application and eligibility criteria. Its terms say any offer is made by JG King, not BlueScope

Ask which designs qualify for the 100-day build guarantee, what happens if it’s missed, and what the steel frame warranty covers beyond the frame.

 

How JG King Homes Packages Are Sold

JG King sells through its new home advisors. We found no information on its website about third-party marketers or an in-house finance arm. Ask who is selling you the package and how they’re 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.
