We understand it’s a very exciting time buying and building your first home, however, it doesn’t always end up that way for lots of first time home buyers.
A lot of times we see individuals losing hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a brand-new house & land bundle because they believed they were getting themselves a great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too good to be real, it normally is!
See, some home builders ‘conceal’ their additional fees and don’t provide you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they just gave you, will most absolutely NOT be the final amount you have to pay.
And that’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 comparable houses you‘ve looked at … there is probably an excellent reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re missing out on inclusions that should really 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 home builder can make up their original price shortfall.
We hear a lot of scary stories from first home buyers that get a bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do sufficient research before parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was among them. He approached us after spending 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 believed he ‘d got himself an inexpensive price, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and truly didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, came to us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a well known builder and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ expenses (for extras she believed were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no thought of how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, among our brand-new home land professionals had the ability to help him find a home builder that specialised in building 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. Beginning once again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t an alternative. So she wound up needing to borrow the additional $35,000 from her mum and dad and chalk it up to one of lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just a few of the many first home buyers that find themselves in a truly difficult circumstance because they‘ve decided (and parted with a lot of savings) without having all the info and help from professionals, that they required.
And we honestly don’t wish that to happen to you!
