We know it’s a really thrilling time buying and building your first house, however, it doesn’t constantly wind up that way for many first time house buyers.
A lot of times we see people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new house & land bundle because they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
However keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be real, it usually is!
See, some builders ‘hide’ their extra costs and don’t offer you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they simply gave you, will most absolutely NOT be the total amount you have to pay.
And that’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 less expensive than other similar houses you‘ve looked at … there is probably a good reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re missing out on extras that ought to actually 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 builder can make up their original price shortfall.
We hear a great deal of scary stories from first house buyers that get a little bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do enough 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 lock in a block of land that no Company wished to construct a house on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself an inexpensive cost, however he ‘d actually paid more than what it was valued at and truly didn’t need to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a well known Company and paid her deposit, only to later be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unanticipated’ costs (for extras she thought were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Fortunately, with Rahul, among our new house build experts were able to assist him discover a builder that specialised in building 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 once again with another Company and losing the deposit she had actually already paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up needing to finance the extra $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are simply a few of the many first house buyers that discover themselves in a really stressful situation because they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a great deal of money) without having all the info and help from experts, that they needed.
