We understand it’s an extremely thrilling time purchasing and building your first home, nevertheless, it does not always wind up that way for many first home purchasers.
Too many times we see individuals squandering hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land bundle because they believed they were getting themselves a good deal.
But remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it generally is!
See, some home builders ‘hide’ their extra charges and do not provide you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most absolutely NOT be the total cost you need to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being sold any home and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than other similar homes you‘ve looked at … there is most likely an excellent reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re losing 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 contractor can make up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first home purchasers that get a little bit too excited and sadly didn’t do adequate due diligence before parting with their hard-earned money.
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 home builder wished to develop on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself a cheap price, however he ‘d actually paid more than what it was valued at and truly didn’t require to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, came to us after she ‘d just signed agreements with a well known home builder and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for items she believed were inclusive in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Fortunately, with Rahul, among our new home build experts had the ability to help him find a home 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 far too late. Beginning again with another Company and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t an alternative. So she ended 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 just some of the many first home purchasers that find themselves in a truly stressful scenario because they‘ve decided (and parted with a great deal of money) without having all the details and assistance from experts, that they required.
And we really do not want that to occur to you!
