We know it’s a very exciting time purchasing and building your first house, however, it doesn’t always end up that way for many first house buyers.
Too many times we see individuals wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home & land bundle because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
However keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be real, it typically is!
See, some Companies ‘conceal’ their extra fees and don’t offer you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they just provided you, will most definitely NOT be the total amount you need to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being sold any house and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than other similar houses you have actually taken a look at … there is most likely a good reason why.
The majority of the time it’s because 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 home 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 sadly didn’t do adequate due diligence before parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was among them. He approached us after spending his entire $25,000 deposit to lock in a block of land that no Company wished to build on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself a cheap price, but he ‘d really paid more than what it was worth and truly didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, approached us after she ‘d just signed agreements with a big Company and paid her deposit, only to later on be hit with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ expenses (for items she believed were included in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d cover the costs.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our new house experts were able to help him find a home 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 far too late. Beginning once again with another Company and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up having to borrow the extra $35,000 from her parents 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 difficult circumstance because they have actually made a decision (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the info and support from experts, that they needed.
