A dream of building in Australia

Originally from England, Colin and Karen wanted to build their first home in Australia. They asked Karl to help find a house-and-land package on Brisbane’s northside that suited both their budget and the life they wanted to create.

Finding the right fit in Morayfield

Together, they explored several suburbs and developments before choosing Morayfield. Affordability and the opportunity to create a home of their own made it the right fit for their plans.

Karl helped secure a package for under $750,000. According to their case study, Colin and Karen also accessed the $30,000 Queensland First Home Owner Grant available for their eligible purchase. This was their individual outcome; current grant eligibility must be checked separately.

A home shaped around their lifestyle

Their home was customised to include four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate media rooms, giving them space to enjoy everyday life and welcome family and friends.

More than a place to live

Around two years later, KDJ reported an estimated property value of almost $1 million. Compared with the original package price, the case study describes approximately $250,000 in estimated value growth.

An increase in value is different from confirmed equity, which also depends on the loan balance. For Colin and Karen, the central achievement was building their first Australian home—and creating a place to start their next chapter.
