We know it’s a very exciting time purchasing and building your first house, nevertheless, it does not always wind up that way for many first house purchasers.
A lot of times we see individuals wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new house & land package because they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
However keep in mind, if it sounds too great to be real, it normally is!
See, some Companies ‘hide’ their additional charges and do not give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they simply gave you, will most certainly NOT be the total amount you have to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any house and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other similar houses you have actually 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 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 expenses’ so the builder can make up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first house purchasers that get a bit too fired up and sadly didn’t do enough research prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after using his entire $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no builder wished to construct a house on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a low-cost price, but he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and truly didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, sadly, approached us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a well known builder and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an additional $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ expenses (for items she thought were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d cover the costs.
Fortunately, with Rahul, one of our new house build professionals were able to assist him discover 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.
But, 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 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 simply a few of the numerous first house purchasers that discover themselves in a really stressful situation because they have actually decided (and parted with a great deal of money) without having all the info and support from professionals, that they needed.
And we truly do not want that to happen to you!
