We know it’s a really thrilling time purchasing and building your very first house, however, it does not constantly end up that way for a good deal of first time house buyers.
Too many times we see individuals squandering hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home & land bundle because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
However remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
See, some builders ‘conceal’ their extra costs and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most definitely 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 less expensive than other comparable homes you‘ve looked at … there is most likely a great reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re losing out on inclusions that need to actually come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later on), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site costs’ so the contractor can make up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of scary stories from very first house buyers that get a little bit too fired up and unfortunately didn’t do enough due diligence prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after using his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wished to construct a house on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself an inexpensive price, but he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and actually didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed contracts with a well known Company and paid her deposit, just to later on be hit with an extra $35,000 in ‘unanticipated’ costs (for items she believed were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, among our new house experts had the ability to help him find a home builder that specialised in building 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. Starting again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d already paid wasn’t a choice. So she ended up having to finance the extra $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of those lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just a few of the numerous very first house buyers that find themselves in a truly difficult scenario because they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a lot of savings) without having all the details and assistance from experts, that they needed.
