We understand it’s a very thrilling time buying and building your first house, however, it does not constantly wind up that way for lots of first time house buyers.
Too many times we see people squandering hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home & land package since they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
However remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it generally is!
See, some home builders ‘conceal’ their extra fees and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just provided you, will most absolutely NOT be the final amount you have 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 cheaper than other comparable homes you‘ve taken a look at … there is probably a good reason why.
The majority of the time it’s since you’re missing out on extras 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 expenses’ so the builder can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of scary stories from first house buyers that get a bit too fired up and unfortunately didn’t do enough due diligence prior to parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after using his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no home builder wanted to develop on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself an inexpensive rate, however he ‘d really paid more than what it was valued at and actually didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a well known home builder and paid her deposit, only to later on be struck with an additional $35,000 in ‘unanticipated’ expenses (for extras she thought were included in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d cover the costs.
Thankfully, with Rahul, among our new house land specialists had the ability to assist him discover a home builder that specialised in building on smaller narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
However, with Sara, it was far too late. Starting once again with another builder and losing the deposit she had actually already paid wasn’t an alternative. 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 many first house buyers that discover themselves in a truly difficult scenario since they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a great deal of savings) without having all the details and help from specialists, that they required.
And we honestly don’t wish that to occur to you!
