Who Is Rossdale Homes?

Rossdale Homes Pty Ltd has held an ABN since 1999 and is based on Glen Osmond Road, Fullarton, in Adelaide. According to its website:

  • It was founded in 1980 by Craig and Ross Robinson, and Giles French took over leadership in 2007
  • Its website shows builder licence BLD 8104 and land agent licence RLA 185579
  • It has divisions called Rossdale Investments, Rossdale Communities and Rossdale Developments
  • It has built multi-dwelling projects for clients including Housing SA

 

Where Rossdale Homes Builds

Rossdale builds in South Australia, with display homes at Angle Vale, Riverlea, Roseworthy (St Yves), Glenunga, Oakden Rise, West Lakes (Novo), Seaford Heights (Vista) and Aston Hills.

 

Rossdale Homes House and Land Packages and Pricing

Rossdale offers traditional, courtyard, villa, two-storey, terrace and split-level designs, with two specification levels, Sovereign and Select. When we checked, its house and land packages ranged from about $617,000 (Victor Harbor) to $2,075,000 (Kensington Gardens). Some listings were labelled “fixed price package” and others “priced from”.

Its “Absolute Fixed Price Guarantee” says “the price you agree on is the price you pay – unless you choose to make a change”, and lists items such as rock, reactive soils, spoil removal and service connections as included. Ask which applies to your package: fixed price, or “priced from”.

Rossdale also markets NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) builds in four design categories. If you consider SDA, check the design certification and who holds the NDIA provider registration.

 

How Rossdale Homes Packages Are Sold

Rossdale Investments is its in-house investor division. It says “We are not investment planners. We are professional home builders,” and that it supports buyers through “independent professionals” for finance and property management. We found no public evidence of third-party marketers selling its homes. Ask who the independent professionals are and whether any are paid referrers.

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.

Pros and Cons of Rossdale Homes

Strengths (based on Rossdale’s materials):

  • More than 40 years building in Adelaide
  • A published fixed-price guarantee covering common site costs
  • Published package prices across many Adelaide suburbs
  • Experience with SDA and multi-dwelling projects

What to weigh up:

  • A low ProductReview average, with complaints about build times and defects
  • Some packages are “priced from” rather than fixed
  • No structural guarantee found on its website beyond statutory cover
  • In-house investor division, so check who its “independent professionals” are

 

Questions to Ask Before You Sign a Rossdale Homes Package

  1. Who is selling me this package, and is anyone paid a commission? How much?
  2. Is this package fully fixed-price or “priced from”? Which costs are provisional sums?
  3. Which entity and licence number will be on the contract?
  4. What build time is in the contract, what are the delay damages, and what was your average build time over the last 12 months?
  5. Is there any structural guarantee beyond statutory warranties? Can I see the indemnity insurance certificate?
  6. Does Rossdale or a related entity own the land or receive commission on it or the property management?
  7. For SDA builds, is the design certified, and who holds the NDIA provider registration?
  8. Can I inspect a completed investor property and speak to a recent client?
