Our First Home Buyer Hub is a collection of resources designed by Move Homes to help you navigate through being a first home buyer!
Move Homes is one of Perth’s most trusted first home builders. Since 1969, we’ve helped thousands of first home buyers step into property ownership with customisable designs, affordable house and land packages and finance support.
This hub is here to guide you with the resources you need to make building your first home simple.
Buying your first place is a big step. Maybe friends are starting to buy, or maybe you’ve heard about new government grants. Either way, it’s a great time to start planning.
As experienced first home builders, we know you’ll have plenty of questions. That’s why we created these resources, to make the process clear and help you move forward with confidence.
Understanding your borrowing capacity is one of the first steps in building your home. We’ll guide you through the full range of government support, including the First Home Owners Grant, Keystart loans, and the Home of My Own Foundation, as well as newer initiatives like the First Home Guarantee, First Home Super Saver Scheme, and the Help to Buy shared equity scheme.
With over 30 new home designs for Perth land estates, Move Homes makes it easier for you to build your first home. Our designs are made to suit different block sizes, budgets and lifestyles, flexible options for kitchens, backyards and everything in between. We have a house design that suits you. With our smarter layouts, your first home feels just right from day one.
Our most popular designs show that first home buyers don’t need to compromise on style or space. Each floor plan offers smart layouts suited to Perth blocks and budgets.
Our free eBooks have been designed with first home buyers in mind! Forget all the jargon- we’ve listed the key things to consider when looking to build a new home in Perth. And what’s even better is that when you’re ready to take the next step, our team are ready to help.
Most first home buyers in Perth will need a deposit, but with schemes like Keystart and the 5% Deposit Scheme, you may be able to get started with as little as 2-5%. Our team can walk you through your options.
Building gives you more control. You can choose your layout, finishes and block. Many of our customers build because they couldn’t find the right home in the established market, and building often requires less upfront savings thanks to grants and finance options.
A house and land package includes two contracts: one for the home, one for the land. We help you choose a design that suits your lifestyle and a block that fits your budget, often in one of our own land estates. Everything is covered upfront, including siteworks and design changes.
You may be eligible for the First Home Owners Grant, Keystart, the First Home Guarantee, or shared equity options like Help to Buy. Our finance team will check which apply to your situation.
Over the last 50 years we have proudly built over 20,000 homes for Australian families. We have the same values today as we did in 1969 when we built our first home in Light Street Dianella.
