We know it’s a very exciting time buying and building your first home, nevertheless, it doesn’t constantly wind up that way for many first time home buyers.
Too many times we see people 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 great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too good to be real, it generally is!
See, some home builders ‘hide’ their additional costs and do not give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they simply provided you, will most absolutely NOT be the final cost you need to pay.
And that’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 cheaper than other similar homes you‘ve looked at … there is probably a good reason why.
Most of the time it’s due to the fact that you’re losing out on extras that should really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later on), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site costs’ so the home builder can make up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of scary stories from first home buyers that get a little bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do sufficient due diligence before parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after spending his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no home builder wished to construct a house on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a cheap rate, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was worth and actually didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed contracts with a big home builder and paid her deposit, only to later on be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unforeseen’ costs (for items she thought were included in the initial quote) and had no idea how she ‘d cover the costs.
Fortunately, with Rahul, one of our new home build specialists were able 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.
But, with Sara, it was too late. Starting once again with another builder and losing the deposit she had actually already paid wasn’t an option. So she wound up having to finance the additional $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are simply a few of the numerous first home buyers that discover themselves in a really stressful situation due to the fact that they‘ve decided (and parted with a great deal of savings) without having all the information and assistance from specialists, that they required.
And we honestly do not want that to happen to you!
