We know it’s a very amazing time buying and building your first home, however, it doesn’t constantly wind up that way for lots of first time home purchasers.
Too many times we see individuals losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new house & land package because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
However remember, if it sounds too great to be true, it normally is!
See, some builders ‘hide’ their extra charges and do not offer you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they simply provided you, will most definitely NOT be the total cost you need 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 less expensive than other similar homes you‘ve taken a look at … there is probably an excellent reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re losing out on inclusions that need to really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later on), or you’re going to be paying extra for ‘site costs’ so the builder can make up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of horror stories from first home purchasers that get a little bit too excited and sadly didn’t do adequate research prior to 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 Company wanted to develop on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself a low-cost cost, but he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was worth and truly didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, came to us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a big Company and paid her deposit, just to later on be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for extras she believed were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d cover the costs.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our new home professionals had the ability to help him discover a builder that specialised in building on smaller 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 once again with another builder and losing the deposit she had actually already paid wasn’t a choice. So she wound up needing to borrow the extra $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of those lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are simply a few of the numerous first home purchasers that discover themselves in a truly confronting situation because they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the info and support from professionals, that they needed.
And we really do not want that to occur to you!
