Quick answer: Residential Attitudes is a Western Australian builder in the family-owned JWH Group, which also owns Plunkett Homes and Oswald Homes. It builds across Perth and regional WA, sells house and land and turnkey packages, and advertises a lifetime structural warranty. We couldn’t find a ProductReview.com.au listing when we checked, and its Google reviews averaged 3.1 out of 5 on Birdeye.
Residential Attitudes gets plenty of searches but has less public review data than most builders its size. This Residential Attitudes review covers who is behind it, its guarantees, how its packages are sold, its review ratings and what to check before you sign.
Who Is Residential Attitudes?
According to the Australian Business Register (ABR) and its website:
- The business name “Residential Attitudes” is registered to Oswald Homes (1972) Pty Ltd (ABN 22 092 237 879), and is also listed as a trading name of Rural Building Company Pty Ltd (ABN 61 105 364 823)
- Its website shows builder registration BC 11420, the same registration shown by sister brand Oswald Homes
- Its head office is at 65 Walters Drive, Osborne Park
- It is part of JWH Group, which was founded in 1983 and says it builds about 1,000 homes a year
- JWH Group brands include Plunkett Homes, Oswald Homes and Residential Attitudes
Residential Attitudes is not connected to 101 Residential or other businesses with “Residential” in their name. Because two companies are linked to the name, check which one signs your contract and is named on your home indemnity insurance.
Where Residential Attitudes Builds
Residential Attitudes builds across the Perth metro area, Greater Perth, the South West, the Great Southern and the Mid West.
Residential Attitudes House and Land Packages and Guarantees
Its website listed 61 designs when we checked, though its homepage refers to “100+”, and no from-prices were shown. Its house and land packages ranged from about $685,000 to $2.55 million, including some turnkey packages on fixed-price lump sum building contracts.
We didn’t find investor-specific products such as dual key or DHA packages. Its disclaimer says it doesn’t own the land in its packages and that land and build are separate contracts.
Residential Attitudes promotes these guarantees, all with conditions:
- Structural: a “Lifetime Structural Warranty”, with conditions not published on the pages we reviewed
- Contract: fixed-price lump sum building contracts on some turnkey packages
We didn’t find a price hold or build-time guarantee. Ask for the written terms of the structural warranty, and ask whether the builder will commit to a build time in the contract.
How Residential Attitudes Packages Are Sold
Residential Attitudes sells through its own sales consultants. We didn’t find an in-house finance arm or public evidence of third-party marketers selling its homes. Because the land in its packages is sold separately, ask who sells the land and whether anyone is paid a commission on it.
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.
