We understand it’s an extremely exciting time buying and building your very first house, however, it doesn’t constantly end up that way for a good deal of first house purchasers.
Too many times we see people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home & land bundle because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too great to be real, it generally is!
See, some Companies ‘conceal’ their additional charges and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most absolutely NOT be the final amount you have to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any house and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other comparable houses you‘ve taken a look at … there is probably a good reason why.
The majority of the time it’s because you’re losing out on inclusions that need to really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site costs’ so the home builder can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of scary stories from very first house purchasers that get a bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do enough due diligence before parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after using his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no builder wished to build on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself a cheap rate, however he ‘d really paid more than what it was worth and truly didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, came to us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a big builder and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unanticipated’ costs (for items she believed were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d cover the costs.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our new house build specialists had the ability to assist him find a home builder that specialised in working on smaller sized narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
However, with Sara, it was too late. Beginning again with another builder and losing the deposit she ‘d already paid wasn’t a choice. So she ended up having to borrow the additional $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the many very first house purchasers that find themselves in a truly stressful situation because they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the details and support from specialists, that they needed.
