We know it’s a very exciting time purchasing and building your first house, nevertheless, it doesn’t always wind up that way for many first house buyers.
Too many times we see people wasting hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new house & land bundle because they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
However remember, if it sounds too great to be real, it normally is!
See, some Companies ‘hide’ their additional costs and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most absolutely NOT be the final cost 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 cheaper than other comparable homes you‘ve looked at … there is probably an excellent reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re losing out on extras that should actually come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site expenses’ so the builder can catch up their original price shortfall.
We hear a lot of horror stories from first house buyers that get a little bit too fired up and sadly didn’t do enough research prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was among them. He approached us after spending his entire $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no builder wished to build on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a cheap price, but he ‘d really paid more than what it was valued at and truly didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, came to us after she ‘d just signed agreements with a big builder and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ expenses (for extras she thought were inclusive in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d cover the costs.
Fortunately, with Rahul, among our new house build experts were able to help him discover a builder that specialised in working on smaller narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
But, with Sara, it was too late. Starting again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d already paid wasn’t an option. So she wound up needing to borrow the additional $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of those lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the many first house buyers that discover themselves in a truly difficult scenario because they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the details and support from experts, that they required.
And we honestly don’t wish that to happen to you!
