Plantation Homes House and Land Packages and Guarantees
Plantation sells its Q, Mainvue and Reserve collections, with designs priced from $245,900 to $783,100 when we checked. Its house and land packages ranged from $907,987 to $1,558,862.
Its Mainvue range advertises fixed site costs from $990 in selected estates, for sites up to 640 square metres and up to 1,400mm of cut and fill. We didn’t find dual occupancy or NDIS products.
Plantation Homes promotes these guarantees, all with conditions:
- Price lock: a 12-month price lock with an option to extend by six months, plus a “best price guarantee”, under its Certainty Plus+ program
- Structural: a 50-year structural guarantee, under the same program
- Faster start: “2 weeks to contract, 10 weeks to site start” for buyers with titled land, finance in place and a curated colour selection, subject to terms
We couldn’t find the full written terms of the structural guarantee on its website. Ask for them, and ask whether the price lock is written into your building contract.
How Plantation Homes Packages Are Sold
Plantation sells through its new home consultants. Its $5K start offer applies only to buyers financing through Loan Studio, which it calls its trusted lending partner. We found no information on its website about third-party marketers. Ask how Loan Studio is paid and whether the price is the same if you use your own broker.
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.
