We know it’s a really thrilling time buying and building your first home, however, it doesn’t constantly wind up that like that for many first home buyers.
Too many times we see individuals losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new house & land package due to the fact that they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
However keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be real, it usually is!
See, some builders ‘hide’ their additional costs and do not offer you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just gave you, will most absolutely NOT be the final amount you have to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being sold any home and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars less expensive than other similar houses you‘ve taken a look at … there is probably a good reason why.
The majority of the time it’s due to the fact that you’re missing out on inclusions that must 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 home builder can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a lot of scary stories from first home buyers that get a little bit too fired up and sadly didn’t do adequate research before parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after spending his entire $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no builder wished to develop on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a low-cost price, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and actually didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, approached us after she ‘d already signed contracts with a big builder and paid her deposit, just to later be struck with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for items she thought were inclusive in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, one of our new home build specialists had the ability to assist him discover a 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 too late. Beginning again with another home builder and losing the deposit she had actually already paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up needing to borrow the additional $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the numerous first home buyers that discover themselves in a really confronting circumstance due to the fact that they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of cash) without having all the details and help from specialists, that they needed.
And we really do not wish that to occur to you!
