Your new home, ready when you are

Moving from one home to another can feel complicated, especially when you’re trying to line up selling, building and moving at exactly the right time.

What happens if your current home sells before your new one is finished? Where will you live in between? Will you need to move twice or pay for temporary accommodation?

With a turnkey build from Jennian Homes Marlborough Kaikoura, you can stay in your current home while we build your new one. You pay an initial deposit, but there are no staged construction payments. The remaining balance is due once the Code Compliance Certificate has been issued, subject to the terms of your contract. 

It means less disruption, more certainty and one simple move into your completed new home.

What does “turnkey” actually mean?

A turnkey home is designed to make building and moving easier.

Rather than paying for your build in stages as construction progresses, you pay a deposit at the beginning and the remaining balance when your completed home has received its Code Compliance Certificate.

Depending on the option you choose, your package can include:

• Your section
• Your completed new home
• Landscaping
• Fencing
• Blinds

Once everything is complete, all that’s left to do is turn the key and move in.

How does payment work?

Turnkey building uses a different payment structure from a traditional progress-payment build.

1. Pay your deposit: The standard deposit is 10%. A reduced 5% deposit may be available on a case-by-case basis and is subject to approval. Your deposit is held in the solicitor’s trust account.

2. We build your home: There are no staged construction payments while your new home is being built.

3. Pay the balance when the home is complete: The remaining balance is due once the Code Compliance Certificate has been issued, in accordance with your contract.

Lending criteria and deposit requirements are set by individual lenders and can change. Talk to your bank or mortgage adviser to understand what is available for your circumstances.

A home that feels like yours, with protection you can trust

A simpler building process doesn’t mean settling for a one-size-fits-all home. The plan shown with a section can be a starting point, with different designs, layouts and choices available depending on your preferred property. Whether you want fewer rooms, better indoor-outdoor flow, easier maintenance or more space for family to stay, our team will help you explore a home that suits the way you want to live.

You can also build with confidence knowing your new Jennian home is supported by:

• 100% Completion Promise: A commitment to completing your home in accordance with your signed building contract.
• 10-Year Master Build Guarantee: Long-term protection backed by the Master Build Guarantee.
• 36-Month Defect Warranty: Ongoing support after you move in.
