Building Your Holiday Home in Australia

Build Your Holiday Home in Western Australia

Many people are now buying Holiday Homes or investment property abroad. Why not take a look at Western Australia; wherever you go in this country, you are never far away from miles and miles of golden sandy beaches, blue seas and beautiful weather.

In Australia, non resident can buy either newly built properties or building plots. The majority of the properties are usually in the suburbs of the cities, popular holiday resorts or large towns. If you wish to be a little more remote or individual you only have to buy a plot of land and build. This really is not a problem, plots are sold with all the services and there are plenty of builders, large or small just waiting to take you by the hand and build your dream holiday home for you.

Buying and building a property may sound daunting but it is not at all, the pain has been taken out of it; because a large proportion of Australian's who live in WA build their own homes. This is mainly because they dont want to live in the popular busy places on big housing estates or they prefer to have a house that is individual to their needs, also building land and builders are very available. WA is growing fast and there is getting to be a shortage of built properties so they buy a plot and build.

WA has grown over the last few years, as many people have moved from the high prices in the East; if you venture away from the cities you find that there are no newly built housing estates built by one builder but fields that have been sub-divided and sold off as individual plots with all the services and roads ready for you to connect too.

Finding either a single builder plus an architect to design your dream place and oversee the build or a large building company who will have a selection of plans for you to choose your holiday home from. Both will take you by the hand and build your property without problems, it is not the headache you may think it will be, as they have been building individual places for people for years and most of the problems have been ironed out.

It will take you about a year from buying the plot to completing your property and taking possession; this is certainly not as stressful as buying a shell and modernizing a property in a country were you dont even speak the language.

Cost of plots have gone up over the last few years but you can still pick up very cheap plots if you are willing to go away from the tourist areas and nowhere is far from the beach.

In many areas of Western Australia it is like walking back in time but with all the mod cons of today and everyone is so very friendly. Perth is the jewel in the crown, with the Swan River winding its way through the beautiful city. Take a bus ride up to Kings Park and see the amazing panoramic view over the city of the river and the sea beyond, it is a spectacular view not to be missed. This city has so much to offer both the young and old with its many beaches, beautiful shops and restaurants with the old Port of Freemantle to discover nearby.

Travel through WA to the far north you will come to the wild remoteness of Broom, then journey back you can visit the coral reefs of Exmouth and the Dolphins at Sharks Bay. This country is so diverse that an hours train journey from Perth inland, you will find scrub and desert, where the first prospectors found and mined gold at Kalgooli, here is one of the largest open cast mines in the world, a spectacular sight where incredibly large dumper trucks look like tiny Dinky toys. Journey South from here you come to the wheat belt and the vineyards in the South and the country town of Albany. But better still go and take the journey yourself and discover the freedom it offers.
