Country Living in Australia
Country living is a living dream for many Australians
, whether it's putting down roots hundreds of miles from major towns, or merely in the outer-suburban ring of a major city. It's in our national DNA: the charm of country homes with space and room to breathe, established gum trees and enchanting distant views.With clean air, growing internet access across our wide brown land, expanded road, rail and air networks, and a commitment to superb schooling for children and students in regional areas, the lure of the country is strong indeed for many Aussies.
But just like in towns, country builders come in all shapes and sizes. Some are excellent, of course, with long-established businesses in the local community. Some are little more than two men and a dog in a ute. As in any other field in life, it pays to look for quality, reputation, and reliability.
Any sizeable home builder worth his salt should be able to show you a wide range of modern house plans and new home designs that both complement the existing infrastructure in an area and also reflect the latest trends in a variety of home styles: small home designs, affordable homes, sustainable homes, right up to luxury homes.
Perusing house plans on the internet is an excellent way to begin your search, without clocking up too many kilometres doing basic research. Equally, though, good house builders should have display homes within easy reach of most sizeable population centres. If they don't, you should perhaps question whether they are equipped to do business in your area.
Whether you're in outer suburbia or a regional centre, the same commonsense rules apply. Ask a builder whether they have a rock-solid structural guarantee on any home you build. The law stipulates seven years, but many good builders offer longer, some up to 25 years. This protects both your investment, and the property's re-sale value.
Make sure you are comfortable with the builder's sales approach. Don't be surprised if they ask a series of questions about your lifestyle and future plans for your family - they're making sure if the home will be right for you ten years from now, not just tomorrow. Indeed, if they just seem keen to get you to commit to a home, and are not interested in you as people, then a big "beware" sign should start flashing.
Buying a new home is probably the biggest investment any of us ever make. It pays to choose carefully.
