Eric and Leonie

Eric and Leonie are very experienced home builders, having built 13 homes across the Perth metro area since 1988. Of these homes, seven have been built with Plunkett Homes, with the couple never hesitating to recommend Plunkett Homes to others. From investment builds and family homes to downsizing and rental opportunities, this couple has done it all. Today, we invite you to meet Eric and Leonie and take a look at one of their latest Federation homes in Baldivis.

Plunkett’s wide range of country-style homes has always been a big appeal for Leonie. As a lover of country design, Plunkett’s classic and timeless Federation homes have always been appealing. Available as part of a farmhouse design or in a contemporary twist, the wide range of designs available allowed Leonie to mix and match design styles to give her the perfect modern homes with a country design twist.

When asked why they’ve built so many times, Eric says “you get exactly what you want, and if you get on well with the builder you can see where each other is coming from – there’s no problem.” When building with Plunkett Homes they were always met with good service, good people, and good processes, which kept them coming back for more.

“People say building is very stressful, but I feel that’s more about choosing colours than the design.” – Leonie

It’s been over 30 years since Eric and Leonie purchased their first Plunkett home in the 1980s and their Plunkett experience hasn’t changed, maintaining a high-quality service and build across every decade.

“Our salesman Paul is still there so that says a lot – that he’s happy to still be with Plunkett Homes.” – Leonie

Eric and Leonie would highly recommend Plunkett Homes with their good service and easy procedures. From the sales process through to prestart and maintenance – there were never any issues that couldn’t be resolved. When asked if they would consider building again, Leonie took no time to respond saying “yes I would certainly like to build another house and it would be with Plunkett for sure.” With their eye already on a block of land, and Eric keen to try a Hamptons-style home, we’re certain a new build isn’t too far off for this lovely couple.
