We know it’s a really exciting time buying and building your first home, however, it doesn’t always wind up that like that for a good deal of first time home purchasers.
Too many times we see people squandering hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a brand-new house & land package because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be real, it generally is!
See, some builders ‘conceal’ their additional fees and do not provide you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they simply gave you, will most absolutely NOT be the total amount you need to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any home and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other comparable homes you have actually taken a look at … there is probably a great reason why.
The majority of the time it’s because you’re losing out on extras that must really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site costs’ so the contractor can make up their original price shortfall.
We hear a lot of scary stories from first home purchasers that get a bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do sufficient due diligence before parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after spending his entire $25,000 deposit to lock in 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, however he ‘d actually paid more than what it was valued at and truly didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a big Company and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ costs (for items she believed were included in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d cover the costs.
Fortunately, with Rahul, among our brand-new home build 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 far too late. Beginning again with another Company and losing the deposit she ‘d already paid wasn’t an alternative. So she ended up needing to finance the additional $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 many first home purchasers that find themselves in a really confronting circumstance because they have actually made a decision (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the information and support from experts, that they required.
And we honestly do not wish that to occur to you!
