Buying

Buying a factory-built home is not the same as buying a finished house. Between picking a model and moving in sit four jobs most listings gloss over: securing land, getting a foundation right, organising delivery and set-up, and clearing permits and code. These guides walk each step in plain terms, what the work involves, what it tends to cost, and where buyers get caught out.

Start with the step you are stuck on, then browse the homes directory.
