We know it’s a really amazing time buying and building your first home, however, it doesn’t always wind up that like that for lots of first home purchasers.
Too many times we see people squandering hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new house & land package because they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
But keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be real, it normally is!
See, some home builders ‘conceal’ their extra charges and do not offer you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most definitely NOT be the total amount you have to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered 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 because you’re missing out on inclusions that should really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site costs’ so the home builder can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of scary stories from first home purchasers that get a bit too fired up and sadly didn’t do adequate research prior to parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was one of them. He came to us after using his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wanted to develop on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a cheap rate, but 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, sadly, approached us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a well known Company and paid her deposit, only to later be struck with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for extras she thought were inclusive in the original quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d cover the costs.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our new home land professionals had the ability 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.
However, with Sara, it was far too late. Starting again with another home builder and losing the deposit she had actually previously paid wasn’t an option. So she wound up needing to finance the extra $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just a few of the numerous first home purchasers that find themselves in a truly confronting scenario because they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of savings) without having all the details and assistance from professionals, that they needed.
And we truly do not wish that to occur to you!
