Who Is Sunvista Homes?
Sunvista Homes is a registered business name of The Trustee for The Sunvista Trust, which has held an ABN since 2003 and is based in Brendale, Queensland (postcode 4500). According to its website and public listings:
- It has been in business for “more than 26 years”
- It is based at Leitchs Road, Brendale, in north Brisbane
- It builds across “Brisbane and the South East Queensland area”, naming suburbs such as Warner Lakes, Stafford and Ashgrove
- It previously built at North Harbour, Burpengary East, with the Santorini display home
Because the business is run through a trust, ask which company acts as trustee and holds the builder licence before you sign.
Sunvista Homes House and Land Packages
Sunvista offers house and land packages, builds on your own land, and builds its existing designs, such as Calypso 163, Brazilian, Mason and Santorini. Its website says: “All of our homes are built to a fixed price contract, ensuring there are no hidden costs.” It also has a dual-occupancy page.
Its investor page offers a turnkey house and land package including carpets, tiles, window dressings, flyscreens, driveway, fencing, landscaping, letterbox and TV aerial, and says there is “no middle man so no wasted dollars”. We found no current published prices on its website.
How Sunvista Homes Packages Are Sold
Sunvista markets its investor packages directly and says there is no middle man. We found no public evidence of third-party marketers selling its homes. Even so, investors can be shown packages from any builder through third parties, so it’s always worth asking who introduced the 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.
