We understand it’s a very exciting time purchasing and building your very first house, however, it does not constantly end up that like that for a good deal of first house purchasers.
Too many times we see individuals wasting hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land package due to the fact that they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
But remember, if it sounds too great to be true, it normally is!
See, some builders ‘conceal’ their additional fees and don’t offer you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most certainly NOT be the total amount you need to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any house and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than other similar houses you have actually taken a look at … there is probably an excellent reason why.
Most of the time it’s due to the fact that you’re losing out on inclusions that should actually come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site costs’ so the contractor can catch up their original price shortfall.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from very first house purchasers that get a bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do adequate 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 build 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 worth and actually didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, contacted us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a big home builder and paid her deposit, just to later be struck with an additional $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ costs (for extras she thought were inclusive in the original quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our new house build professionals were able to assist him find a home builder that specialised in building on smaller sized narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
However, with Sara, it was too late. Starting again with another Company and losing the deposit she ‘d already paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up having to finance the additional $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of those lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the numerous very first house purchasers that find themselves in a truly stressful scenario due to the fact that they have actually made a decision (and parted with a great deal of savings) without having all the information and help from professionals, that they needed.
And we honestly don’t wish that to happen to you!
