We know it’s a very amazing time purchasing and building your first house, however, it does not always end up that way for many first house buyers.
Too many times we see people wasting hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land bundle because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too great to be real, it usually is!
See, some home builders ‘hide’ their extra charges and do not provide you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they just gave you, will most definitely NOT be the final 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 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other comparable homes you have actually looked at … there is most likely a good reason why.
The majority of the time it’s because you’re losing out on inclusions that need to 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 contractor can catch up their original price shortfall.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first house buyers that get a little bit too excited and sadly didn’t do sufficient research prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after using his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no home builder wished to construct a house on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself an inexpensive cost, but he ‘d really paid more than what it was valued at and really didn’t require to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, approached us after she ‘d just signed agreements with a big home builder and paid her deposit, only to later be hit with an extra $35,000 in ‘unanticipated’ expenses (for extras she believed were included in the original quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, among our new house specialists were able to help him discover a builder that specialised in working 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 builder and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t a choice. So she wound up having to borrow the extra $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the numerous first house buyers that discover themselves in a truly confronting scenario because they have actually decided (and parted with a great deal of savings) without having all the information and help from specialists, that they needed.
And we really do not want that to happen to you!
