Developer of house and land packages in Mandurah reveals little-known benefits of completed turnkey homes.
Mandurah, WA, October 31, 2013 - Natures Walk offers house and land packages in Erskine, adjacent to Mandurah. However, many people don't know that they can also buy a completed, turnkey house in Natures Walk. Turnkey homes have been available on a limited basis but they are becoming so popular that more may be made available in future.

What is a Turnkey Home?

A turnkey home is named after its result. All the buyer has to do is turn the key and move into a completed home. The home is designed, built and decorated by the developer and is ready for a buyer to move in—with no preparation. The developer contracts out to interior designers, builders, plumbers, electricians and other stakeholders involved with providing a home that is ready to be moved into.

Every detail is taken care of, even details such as window treatments or the mailbox. The house is ready to occupy as soon as the buyer takes possession of the keys.

What are the Benefits of a Turnkey Home?

The main benefit for someone buying a turnkey home to live in is that they can turn the key, walk in and start living—no extra maintenance and no surprises. For busy professionals, with or without children, a turnkey home takes a lot of the time drain out of moving.

For investors, the main benefit is the same, but with added perks. A new investment property is ready for tenants to move into as soon as the deal closes. This means no hassle for the investor and it also means that the investment is ready to start producing income immediately.

With a new turnkey home, the paperwork is usually delivered in a tidy, streamlined package for the buyer to read and sign. In addition, new homes hold their resale value better than established homes, usually producing capital gains more quickly.

With a new turnkey home, everybody wins.

Market Performance

According to Travis Kell, Development Manager of Natures Walk, sales of turnkey homes have exceeded expectations: “We put a few out there, to see how the market would react. We were surprised to see them snapped up quickly by eager buyers.”

Kell continued, “Whenever we have shown a turnkey home to any prospective buyer, they have always been impressed. With a finished home, you know exactly what you are getting. For those who don't fancy themselves to be amateur interior decorators, finished homes are great. The choices have already been made by a professional interior decorator.”

The Final Benefit

The final benefit is speed. In many estates, it can seemingly take forever to build a house. Some have waiting times as long as a year from the time a buyer agrees to buy the property until they can have it built and then move in.

With a turnkey home, the process is shortened considerably. The home is already built, the plans have already been made and the foundation has already been laid. Plus, the plumbers, electricians, decorators, painters and carpet installers have already been there.

Kell concluded, “With a turnkey home, we do all the work. All you do is take your key and move in. A lot of people really like that.”
