What a house and land package actually is.
If you've started looking into house and land packages in Christchurch and Canterbury, you've probably noticed there's a lot of choice, and not much that explains the differences between areas, developers, and what you're actually paying for.
A house and land package pairs a section (usually already titled or close to it) with a fixed home design and build price, so you know your total cost before you commit. It's a faster, lower-risk route than buying raw land and designing from scratch, but the trade-off is less flexibility on layout — most packages use a set plan matched to the section.
Hallmark Homes currently has house and land packages live across the following Canterbury areas:

Every family’s brief is different, and new sections release regularly. The fastest way to find the right fit is to talk to our team directly.
What's included, and what to check before you commit
A genuinely useful package listing (and a genuinely useful builder) should be upfront about:
- Whether it’s a fixed price or an estimate. A fixed-price contract protects you from surprise cost blowouts; an “estimate” or provisional sum contract doesn’t.
- What guarantee is attached. Ask whether the build comes with a Master Build Guarantee or similar — it protects you if something goes wrong with the builder.
- What’s actually in the land title. Confirm whether the section is already titled or still under development, since this affects your timeline.
- What’s excluded from the package price. Driveways, fencing, landscaping and window furnishings are common extras — ask before you sign, not after.
- Who the developer is, not just the builder. Different developers (Ngāi Tahu Property, Danne Mora, Urban Estates, and others building across Canterbury) have different standards for streetscapes, covenants and section quality, which affects your long-term outlook and resale value.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the difference between a house and land package and buying land separately?
A house and land package bundles a section with a fixed home design and price, so your total cost is locked in upfront. Buying land separately and then designing your own home gives you more flexibility but less price certainty and a longer timeline.
Do I need a deposit to secure a house and land package?
Most packages require a deposit to secure the section and lock in the build price — ask our team for the specific terms on any package you're interested in, as they vary by developer and stage of the subdivision.
Can I customise a house and land package?
Some customisation is usually possible (finishes, some layout tweaks), but the core floor plan is generally fixed to suit the section. If you want full design flexibility, our Prestige Series custom build process is a better fit.
