We understand it’s an extremely amazing time purchasing and building your first house, however, it does not constantly end up that way for many first house buyers.
Too many times we see people squandering hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new house & land package due to the fact that they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
However remember, if it sounds too good to be real, it usually is!
See, some home builders ‘hide’ their extra charges and don’t offer you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just gave you, will most definitely 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 houses you have actually taken a look at … there is most likely a good reason why.
Most of the time it’s due to the fact that you’re losing out on extras that need to really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site costs’ so the home builder can make up their original price shortfall.
We hear a lot of scary stories from first house buyers that get a bit too fired up and unfortunately didn’t do enough research prior to parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after spending his whole $25,000 deposit to lock in a block of land that no Company wished to build on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself an inexpensive rate, but he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was worth and really didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a big Company and paid her deposit, only to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for extras she thought were included in the original quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, one of our new house experts had the ability to help him find 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 once 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 some of the many first house buyers that find themselves in a truly stressful scenario due to the fact that they have actually made a decision (and parted with a lot of cash) without having all the information and help from experts, that they needed.
And we honestly don’t want that to occur to you!
That’s why we began the First Home Buyer Accelerator to direct novice purchasers through the whole process so you don’t make any of the expensive and common errors we see far frequently.
It’s their job to ask all of those questions that Rahul and Sara should have asked. It’s their job to locate you the best deal and it’s their job to ensure you move into your first house delighted and excited.
Picture having peace of mind that when you do locate your ideal first house, you understand you’re making the right decision.
