We understand it’s a very amazing time buying and building your very first house, however, it doesn’t constantly end up that way for a good deal of first time house buyers.
Too many times we see people squandering hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land package due to the fact that they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
But remember, if it sounds too good to be real, it usually is!
See, some home builders ‘conceal’ their extra charges and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just gave you, will most absolutely NOT be the total amount you have to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any house and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than other similar homes you‘ve looked at … there is probably a great reason why.
The majority of the time it’s due to the fact that you’re losing out on inclusions that should actually come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site expenses’ so the home builder can catch up their original price shortfall.
We hear a lot of horror stories from very first house buyers that get a little bit too fired up and unfortunately didn’t do enough due diligence prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was among them. He approached us after using his entire $25,000 deposit to lock in a block of land that no builder wanted to develop on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself an inexpensive price, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and actually didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a well known builder and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ expenses (for items she thought were included in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Fortunately, with Rahul, one of our new house experts were able to help him find a builder that specialised in working 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 home builder and losing the deposit she had actually already paid wasn’t an alternative. So she ended up needing to borrow the extra $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of those lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just a few of the many very first house buyers that find themselves in a really difficult scenario due to the fact that they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the information and help from experts, that they required.
And we really don’t wish that to occur to you!
