New townhouses in Perth

Buying a new townhouse in Perth

Perth’s townhouse market is smaller than the east coast’s. Most new projects are in established inner suburbs and around Fremantle, where they replace older homes on larger blocks, and many are groups of a dozen homes or fewer — so stock is limited and can sell before construction starts.

In WA, strata titled homes are managed by a strata company. Check whether a project is survey-strata, where your lot is defined like a block of land, or built strata, where it’s defined by the building — it changes what you own, what you insure and what you pay in fees.
