There has never been a better time to get your dream home underway. Here are the Top 10 things you can do to get started.
1. Crunch the numbers
Our in-house experts at Resolve Finance have been supporting customers through the ups and downs of the market for over 20 years. Take advantage of unique finance products and record low interest rates. Their friendly team of experienced mortgage brokers can talk you through the finance opportunities available and help develop a personalised solution.
You can also get a clear idea of your budget – including how much you can borrow and what your repayments will look like – using their range of online calculators.
2. Visit a display home via a virtual tour
Many of our display homes are available to view via our 360 degree virtual tours. Get a feel for the floorplan, take a closer look at the quality finishes and collect interior style inspiration.
3. Secure the perfect home and land package
Looking for land? It can all be done online! Look through our various house and land packages to find one that suits your design needs and budgets or handball the work to a New Homes Consultant and they’ll find one for you.
You can even take an online quiz to create a package perfectly suited to you. The best bit? With Resolve Finance being in-house, and working directly with your New Homes Consultant, your finance and settlement needs can get sorted efficiently under the one roof.
4. Find a floorplan and façade
Now comes the fun part: finding the perfect floorplan. Are you looking to upsize or downsize your bedrooms? Would you like a standout façade with epic street appeal or something a little more subtle? And have you considered features such as a butlers pantry or home theatre? Begin by exploring our range of floorplans and façade designs – get to know the specs and how they fit with your family’s lifestyle and how you see yourself using the space – now and into the future.
5. Learn what to expect
Your home is one of the biggest investments of your life. It’s vital you find a builder who you can trust and that you know what to expect from the process before it begins. Boutique’s online testimonials section lets you hear first-hand from real customers as they talk through their own build experience, the challenges and opportunities they encountered, and their considered advice for creating your dream home.
6. Emulate their style using social media
Instagram is a new home builder’s best friend. The Boutique Instagram page features style inspiration, news and build advice, while the #ourboutiquehome offers interior ideas and experiences shared by Boutique’s own customers. Plus, the online community is a fantastic way to connect with other customers.
7. Take advantage of the Boutique Life blog
Get educated on all things warranties, learn how to create a rural or Hamptons style interior, or discover how to keep your home energy bills to a minimum with the Boutique Life blog. The expert interviews with the highly knowledgeable building, design and interiors teams will prepare you for the build process well before your slab is poured.
8. Browse the brochure library
Prefer to get your information in a glossy and easy-to-read format with plenty of visuals? Boutique’s comprehensive brochure library is online. Have a flick through snappy articles on a range of topics, including dual occupancy builds, knockdown rebuild or read through Boutique’s industry leading premium inclusions.
9. Upskill via YouTube
Take an online lesson in interior design with Senior Interior Designer Mitra Whittle or learn how to spot quality craftmanship with Executive General Manager of ABN Group, Rob Bird. Boutique’s YouTube channel contains countless video clips that you can use to upskill for free, along with peeks inside both customer and display homes.
