We understand it’s an extremely exciting time buying and building your first house, nevertheless, it doesn’t constantly end up that way for many first house purchasers.
Too many times we see individuals losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home & land package because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be real, it normally is!
See, some Companies ‘conceal’ their extra fees and don’t offer you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most absolutely NOT be the final amount you need to pay.
Which’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 less expensive than other similar houses you‘ve taken a look at … there is most likely a great reason why.
The majority of the time it’s because you’re losing out on inclusions that should actually come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site expenses’ so the home builder can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of horror stories from first house purchasers that get a bit too fired up and regrettably didn’t do sufficient due diligence before parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after using his entire $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wished to develop on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself an inexpensive rate, but he ‘d actually paid more than what it was worth and really didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, regrettably, approached us after she ‘d just signed agreements with a well known Company and paid her deposit, only to later be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ expenses (for items she believed were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d cover the costs.
Thankfully, with Rahul, among our new house land professionals were able to help him discover a 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 home builder and losing the deposit she had actually previously paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up having to finance the extra $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the numerous first house purchasers that discover themselves in a truly difficult scenario because they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a lot of cash) without having all the information and assistance from professionals, that they needed.
