How we can help get you into your new home sooner than you thought!

HEADSTART HOMES SERIES

At the start of a brand-new year, it’s often a time to reflect on last year – the good and the not so good too. However, it’s also a time to focus on the coming year and set some goals that you want to achieve. Dare I say, loose a few pounds and get more active. We all do it and it typically works out harder than we’d like. But, if you want it hard enough you will make it happen. You just need to dig a little deeper.

For many it’s the perfect time to plan for the future and check out the exciting options available when building a new home. Our team at Hallmark Homes has years of experience and expertise when it comes to helping first time buyers achieve the dream of building their own home. We take time to listen to your ideas and lifestyle needs, and then provide you with affordable home options that fit within your budget for a new home. We want to make it as easy as possible for clients to think through all their options and inform them of everything they need to know to make the right decisions. We actively guide you through the process, making it as stress free as we can.

In conjunction with our ongoing commitment to helping those in Canterbury into warmer, drier and healthier homes we have created a special range of plans called our Headstart Homes Series, which are perfectly suited to families wanting to qualify under the Government’s Homestart umbrella. The $20,000 grant allows you to build your first home to a combined section and home investment cap of $550,000 here in Christchurch and the immediate area.

Our Headstart homes are all designed and built using the latest materials, technology, heating and insulation, and are managed by our experienced team of professionals to ensure you get a top-quality home at a very affordable price. Click here to view our range of Headstart Homes Plans.
