We understand it’s a really thrilling time purchasing and building your very first house, however, it does not always wind up that like that for many first house buyers.
Too many times we see individuals losing hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land package since they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too great to be true, it usually is!
See, some builders ‘hide’ their additional fees and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just provided you, will most absolutely NOT be the final amount you need to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any house and land packages that are tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than other comparable homes you‘ve taken a look at … there is probably a good reason why.
Most of the time it’s since you’re losing out on inclusions that must really 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 very first house buyers that get a little bit too fired up and unfortunately didn’t do adequate research prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after spending his entire $25,000 deposit to lock in a block of land that no Company wanted to build on (plus the worst part was, he believed he ‘d got himself a low-cost rate, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was worth and actually didn’t require to hand over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, approached us after she ‘d already signed contracts with a well known Company and paid her deposit, only to later be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for items she believed were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, among our new house professionals were able to help him find 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 far too late. Starting once again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t an option. So she ended up having to finance the additional $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 very first house buyers that find themselves in a really stressful situation since they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of money) without having all the information and assistance from professionals, that they needed.
And we really don’t want that to happen to you!
