We know it’s an extremely exciting time buying and building your first home, however, it does not constantly wind up that like that for many first time home purchasers.
Too many times we see people losing hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new house & land package since they believed they were getting themselves a good deal.
However keep in mind, if it sounds too great to be true, it usually is!
See, some Companies ‘conceal’ their extra charges and do not provide you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they simply gave you, will most certainly NOT be the total amount you have to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being sold any home and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than other similar houses you‘ve looked at … there is most likely an excellent reason why.
The majority of the time it’s since you’re losing out on inclusions that need to 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 builder can make up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first home purchasers that get a little bit too fired up and sadly didn’t do sufficient due diligence prior to parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after using his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wished to build on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself a low-cost cost, however 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, contacted us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a big Company and paid her deposit, only to later be struck with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ expenses (for extras 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 home professionals were able to help him find 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.
But, with Sara, it was too late. Beginning once again with another builder and losing the deposit she had actually previously paid wasn’t a choice. So she wound 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 simply a few of the numerous first home purchasers that find themselves in a truly difficult circumstance since they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a great deal of money) without having all the info and support from professionals, that they required.
And we really do not wish that to happen to you!
