We understand it’s an extremely amazing time buying and building your very first home, however, it does not constantly end up that way for a good deal of first home buyers.
Too many times we see people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a brand-new house & land package due to the fact that they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
But keep in mind, if it sounds too great to be real, it generally is!
See, some builders ‘conceal’ their additional fees and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they just provided you, will most definitely NOT be the final cost you have to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any home and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than other comparable houses you‘ve looked at … there is probably 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 additional for ‘site expenses’ so the builder can catch up their original price shortfall.
We hear a great deal of scary stories from very first home buyers that get a bit too excited and regrettably didn’t do enough due diligence before parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He came to us after using his whole $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 a cheap price, 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, regrettably, approached us after she ‘d already signed contracts with a big builder and paid her deposit, only to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ expenses (for extras she thought were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Fortunately, with Rahul, one of our brand-new home land professionals were able to assist him discover 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.
But, with Sara, it was far too late. Beginning again with another builder and losing the deposit she had actually previously paid wasn’t a choice. So she wound up having to borrow the additional $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the many very first home buyers that discover themselves in a really stressful situation due to the fact that they‘ve decided (and parted with a great deal of cash) without having all the details and help from professionals, that they needed.
And we honestly don’t want that to happen to you!
