Zero fee to buyer.

Who pays the off-the-plan broker in Victoria?

Zero fee to buyer. You pay the same contract price as walking into the display suite yourself, but with an independent advocate comparing projects on your behalf instead of a single builder's salesperson.


Where BK Home Broker operates in Victoria

BK Home Broker covers off-the-plan apartments, townhouses and house-and-land packages right across Victoria, comparing projects on location, rental demand, supply pipeline and pricing rather than pushing one developer's stock.


Melbourne and the growth corridors

In metropolitan Melbourne, off-the-plan demand centres on apartments and townhouses near transport, plus house-and-land in the outer growth corridors to Melbourne's north and west. BK matches buyers to projects that suit their budget and goals across these areas.


Geelong and the Surf Coast

Geelong is one of Victoria's fastest-growing regions. BK Home Broker tracks active house-and-land and townhouse projects in Armstrong Creek, Charlemont and Leopold, where new estates are still releasing land at first-home-buyer and owner-occupier price points.


Regional Victoria

Beyond Geelong, BK covers off-the-plan and new-build projects in regional Victorian growth towns, helping buyers target areas with genuine rental demand and avoid oversupplied pockets.


First home buyer grants in Victoria (2026)

Victorian first home buyers building or buying off-the-plan may be eligible for several incentives. A broker can help you structure a purchase so you qualify.


Victorian First Home Owner Grant

A $10,000 First Home Owner Grant applies to eligible new homes in Victoria up to the state value threshold. It is only available on new builds, which is one reason off-the-plan and house-and-land purchases are a common path for first home buyers.


First Home Guarantee (5% deposit, no LMI)

Under the federal First Home Guarantee, eligible first home buyers can purchase with as little as a 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance, with the government guaranteeing the balance of the deposit.


Stamp duty concessions

Victoria offers first-home-buyer stamp duty exemptions and concessions on lower-value homes. Off-the-plan purchases can also reduce the dutiable value, because duty may be assessed before construction is complete. Your conveyancer can confirm the current thresholds for your purchase.


Co-living and dual-income investment in Victoria

For investors, BK Home Broker also covers off-the-plan co-living and dual-income (dual-occupancy) homes — single-title properties designed to earn multiple rents. In strong Melbourne and Geelong locations these designs can target gross yields around 7-9%, compared with roughly 4-5% for a standard single-tenancy new rental. Actual yields depend on rents, costs and location.


What to watch when buying off-the-plan in Victoria


Sunset clauses and delays

Off-the-plan contracts include sunset dates and may change if completion is delayed. Have your conveyancer or solicitor explain exactly what happens if the project runs late.


Valuation at settlement

If the market softens or lending rules change between contract and completion, the finished property may value below the contract price, which can affect your finance. A broker who works the local market helps you choose projects less exposed to this risk.
