We know it’s an extremely thrilling time buying and building your first home, nevertheless, it doesn’t always wind up that like that for a good deal of first home purchasers.
Too many times we see people wasting hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a brand-new house & land package since they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
However remember, if it sounds too great to be true, it generally is!
See, some home builders ‘hide’ their extra fees and do not offer you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they simply offered you, will most definitely 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 home and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other similar homes you‘ve looked at … there is probably an excellent reason why.
Most 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), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site expenses’ so the contractor can catch up their original price shortfall.
We hear a lot of scary stories from first home purchasers that get a little bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do adequate due diligence before parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He came to us after spending his entire $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wished to build on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a low-cost price, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was worth 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 Company and paid her deposit, only to later be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ expenses (for extras she thought 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 professionals had the ability to help him find a builder that specialised in building on smaller narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
But, with Sara, it was too late. Starting again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up needing to finance the extra $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are simply a few of the many first home purchasers that find themselves in a truly confronting situation since they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of cash) without having all the details and help from professionals, that they required.
And we truly do not want that to occur to you!
