Why choose a move-in ready home over an existing property?

We get it – building from scratch isn’t for everyone. That’s why our move-in ready homes offer the best of both worlds: all the benefits of brand-new living, without the wait.

Built by Plantation Homes and ready to go, these homes are designed for real life, with smart layouts, premium inclusions, and none of the renovation headaches. But how does a move-in ready home stack up against buying existing? Here’s why it’s the smarter move:

Everything’s brand new – and it’s all yours

There’s something special about being the first to step inside a home that’s never been lived in. No repairs. No surprises. No outdated finishes. Just a pristine, modern space that’s ready for you to make your own.

Skip the renos (and the stress)

Older homes often come with hidden costs – from leaky bathrooms to dated kitchens. With a Plantation move-in ready home, everything’s been carefully designed, quality-checked, and fully finished. That means no patch-ups, no painting, and no weekends lost to DIY.

Peace of mind, built in

Every Plantation home is backed by our 50-year structural guarantee, plus warranties on fixtures, finishes and appliances – giving you total confidence in your investment. When it’s built by us, you know it’s built to last.

Global strength, local expertise

As part of the Henley Properties Group and backed by our $10 billion parent company, Sumitomo Forestry, we bring more than 30 years of Queensland building experience to every home. You’re in trusted hands from start to finish.

Move in faster, with less fuss

Because the home is already built (or nearly there), you can skip construction, avoid progress payments, and enjoy the simplicity of a fixed-price contract. It’s faster, easier, and ready when you are.

The better way to buy new

When you choose a move-in ready home, you’re choosing a brand-new lifestyle – without the wait. All that’s left to do is move in and start living.
