Understanding your land. Your home. Your future with Wilson.

If you’ve been looking into house and land packages in Tasmania, you have probably seen plenty of options, but not always clear answers. At Wilson Homes, as Tasmania’s largest house and land provider, we make it simple for Tasmanians to understand exactly what a house and land package is, what is included and why building new will be one of the smartest property decisions you will ever make.

So, let’s bust a few common myths…

Myth 1: The houses already exist

House and land packages mean your new home is uniquely yours - built from the ground up.

At Wilson Homes we currently have over 150 completely customisable house and land packages across Tasmania. You choose your block, select your home design and personalise your finishes to suit your lifestyle and budget.

Myth 2: You pay stamp duty on the full package

With Wilson Homes house and land package, you will only pay stamp duty on the land portion, not the home build.

You sign a contract for the land, which the government charges stamp duty. The building component is another contract, which the government does not charge stamp duty on. This will save you thousands compared to buying an established property, making it an ideal choice for first home buyers in Tasmania.
