FAQs
Townhouses are more affordable because they make efficient use of land and share certain infrastructure, which keeps costs down. You still get quality, modern living, but at a lower price point than a standalone home.
Townhouses offer more space, privacy, and usually outdoor areas – making them feel more like a home than an apartment.
Yes. Townhouses offer affordability, modest maintenance, and steady demand. The key is choosing a good location and a quality build that fits your long-term strategy. They often deliver many of the benefits of a full home without the big upfront cost.
A fee simple title means you own the land and building outright, while a unit title usually covers your individual unit plus shared ownership of common areas like gardens, driveways, or amenities.
With a turnkey home, you pay a fixed price and move in once it’s finished. A house & land package means you buy the land and fund the build in stages, which can involve more decisions and risks.
Our homes are fully turnkey, meaning your home comes complete with landscaping, floor coverings and fittings, so it’s ready to move into.
A Resident Society is a community organisation that is empowered by law to manage the common areas and infrastructure of a development. They exist to help owners make a long term plan for the maintenance of common property and infrastructure.
Buying off plans means purchasing a property before it’s built, based on the developer’s designs and specifications. It lets you secure a brand-new home at today’s price, often with lower deposit requirements. You’ll pay a deposit upfront, with the balance due when construction is complete. Our team can chat to you more about how this works so you can decide if it’s the right choice for you.
When they’re built well and looked after, townhouses hold their value just as strongly as standalone homes. Modern living, efficient footprints and a focus on quality make them an attractive choice in today’s market.
Most Faisandier homes are freehold, which means you own the townhouse and the land it sits on. However, some homes will be unit title, this means you own a defined part of a building and will share some common areas.
Townhouses offer a great balance of affordability, location and low upkeep. Plus, they’re brand new, energy efficient and designed with modern living in mind. Their popularity makes them a great investment for future on-selling.
Townhouses often cost less because they use land more efficiently, meaning you still get a modern home but at a lower price point.
