Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with my new Elmslie Common townhouse?
Your home comes fully finished and move‑in ready, including flooring, window furnishings, engineered‑stone benchtops, stainless‑steel appliances, landscaping, boundary fencing, driveway, blinds, and LED lighting. All materials and inclusions follow the General Specifications provided, covering internal finishes, external finishes, kitchen, bathroom and laundry fit‑outs, and heating/cooling systems.
Are these homes good for first‑time buyers who want low‑maintenance living?
Yes. The homes are designed as contemporary, low‑maintenance townhouses with practical layouts, durable finishes (such as laminated timber flooring and tiled wet areas), high‑efficiency features, and landscaped front and rear gardens maintained by reticulation systems.
What warranties do I receive with the home?
6‑month building defect liability period from the Occupancy Permit date.
10‑year statutory warranty under Victorian law.
Manufacturer warranties on appliances and some fixtures.
These cover structural and building standards as outlined in the contract and specifications.
Do I need to arrange my own utility connections?
No. Before occupation, the development ensures connection to reticulated water, sewerage, drainage and underground electricity, while telecommunications are provided via NBN‑ready infrastructure. You’ll only need to select your preferred retail providers.
What is the Victorian First Home Owner Grant, and am I eligible?
The Victorian First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a $10,000 one‑off payment for eligible first‑home buyers purchasing a new, never‑lived‑in home valued up to $750,000.
To qualify, you must:
– Be 18+;
– Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident (at least one applicant);
– Never have previously owned or lived in a residential property;
– Live in the home for 12 months within the first year of settlement.
Can I use the FHOG on a townhouse at Elmslie Common?
Yes, Elmslie Common townhouses are brand‑new homes, which meet the FHOG requirement of being newly constructed or never occupied, as long as the contract price remains under $750,000.
