Easy home build

From the first meeting with with mark to the finance with Tom and the pre start meeting start meeting everything was explained well to us and stress free, just had our 6months maintenance check and only a few minor things to be fixed and they are onto it straight away

You had me at " you can buy".

published

As low income earners we thought we would never be able to get into the property market.

Straight away Allan and the team at Homestart provided us with options that were within our range and capability to buy, with the option to modify to suit our tastes and preferences. It's been a dream come true knowing we'll be in our own home within the year.



The service from the team at HomeStart has been incredible from first contact, and we've been so pleased with all our interactions throughout the whole process. They've been patient, informative and friendly, and we couldn't be happier.

It has been great

Dean helped us choose a block that was suitable for our big family. We got a nice big block next to a park with six bedrooms, a separate living area. He came to our house for a couple of hours after we signed up to go through everything in detail and to make sure our house was perfect for us

Dean was very helpful in helping me with finance finding land and then building my dream home. He is always available to answer any questions and talk me through everything. The home is big and I have enough land at the side of my garage to park my tinny too

I never thought it would be possible

published

We met dean after thinking for years it would not be possible to own a home. We owned 20 years ago which we thought would make it too hard and wanted 4 acres with enough room for our grand kids, chooks and a horse. dean organised everything, negotiated down the land price on our behalf and somehow made it work. 10/10 thank you

Great value home

published

Me and my wife wanted to live close to the city as possible and not where every body else told me where I could live which was Ellenbrook or Alkimos and I only could spend $270k. Dean got me a new house 13km from my work in Northbridge with a 1st homeowner grant and I am only paying $260 per week when I move in. Thank you Dean Thurston it is a dream come true!!!!

Shane has made every effort to ensure that the information is supplied correctly. He's considerate of my time restrictions and goes out of his way to make sure that everything goes according to plan. Home start have always followed up when I was unable to commit to buying my home

Great Service

Shane has been of great assistance with the building process. Being my first house and not having an understanding of building and finance I've really appreciated Shane being patient and thorough with explaining everything. The clear explanation and setting of expectations has been really good and the effort to help find a suitable block was really appreciated. I am looking forward to moving into the next part of the process.

I didn't think I would qualify for a home loan because of my age.
I went to see Sue Spirkoski at HomeStart WA and she was so helpful organising finance, house and land. I was very pleased with my new home. I'm so happy I built with HomeStart . Thank You!

I am concerned about your after care once the build is completed and defects are noted. I have heard/read a lot of bad reports in relation to this. What is your policy in putting things right?
