We know it’s a very amazing time buying and building your first house, however, it doesn’t constantly end up that way for lots of first house buyers.
A lot of times we see people squandering hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land package since they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it typically is!
See, some builders ‘hide’ their extra costs and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they simply provided you, will most absolutely NOT be the total cost you need to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being sold any house and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars less expensive than other similar homes you have actually looked at … there is probably a good reason why.
Most of the time it’s since you’re losing out on inclusions that must really 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 builder can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of horror stories from first house buyers that get a bit too fired up and regrettably didn’t do sufficient research before parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after spending his whole $25,000 deposit to lock in a block of land that no home builder wanted to build on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself an inexpensive price, but he ‘d actually paid more than what it was valued at and actually didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, regrettably, contacted us after she ‘d just signed agreements with a big home builder and paid her deposit, only to later on be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unanticipated’ costs (for extras she believed were inclusive in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d cover the costs.
Thankfully, with Rahul, one of our new house land professionals had the ability to assist him discover a builder that specialised in building 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 once again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d already paid wasn’t a choice. So she ended up needing to borrow the extra $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are simply some of the many first house buyers that discover themselves in a really confronting scenario since they have actually decided (and parted with a lot of savings) without having all the details and help from professionals, that they required.
And we truly don’t want that to happen to you!
