What is a Turnkey Home?

If you’ve been looking for house and land packages, you may have seen the phrase “turnkey” being used. A turnkey home is one that includes everything in your new house, so all you need to do is turn the key to your new home and move in.

Turnkey homes are popular for investors because they want to rent out their home as soon as possible to a tenant. But they’re also popular for first home buyers and people moving from interstate who don’t have time to set up their home.

We’ve listed some of the common questions about turnkey homes below, but reach out to us if you have any more.

What are the benefits of a turnkey house and land package?

Once you get the keys to your home, you can move straight in. You don’t need to worry about organising the landscaping or making sure there are blinds on the windows, because it’s all done for you.

Should a first home buyer choose a turnkey finish?

If you don’t have the time or ability to finish the home yourself, a turnkey finish is a great option as you don’t need to do anything.
