Buying land: common questions
What land is for sale in the Hills District?
Most land for sale in the area falls into three groups: vacant house lots in new estates in the north-west growth area (such as Box Hill, Riverstone and Schofields), acreage and rural-residential blocks in suburbs like Kenthurst, Glenorie, Maraylya and Maroota, and larger sites with development or subdivision potential. The listings below show everything Guardian currently has for sale.
What should I check before buying land?
Check the zoning and the planning certificate (a section 10.7 certificate from council), any easements or covenants on the title, whether the block is bushfire prone or flood affected, and which services are connected, as many rural Hills properties aren’t on town sewer and need an on-site wastewater system. It’s also worth having a solicitor or conveyancer review the contract before you sign.
Can I build a house on acreage or rural land?
Often yes, but it depends on the zoning, the lot size and The Hills Shire or Hornsby Shire planning rules for that property. Some rural lots already have a dwelling entitlement and others don’t, so confirm this with council or a town planner before you buy.
Do I pay stamp duty on vacant land in NSW?
Yes, transfer duty applies to vacant land in NSW. First home buyers may be eligible for an exemption or concession on vacant land they plan to build their home on. Check the current thresholds with Revenue NSW.
