We understand it’s an extremely exciting time purchasing and building your first home, however, it doesn’t always wind up that like that for many first time home buyers.
Too many times we see people losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new house & land bundle because they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
But remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it typically is!
See, some builders ‘hide’ their additional fees and do not provide you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most certainly NOT be the final amount you need to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any home and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other similar homes you have actually looked at … there is probably a good 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 on), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site costs’ so the contractor can make up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first home buyers that get a bit too fired up and regrettably didn’t do adequate research prior to parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was one of them. He approached us after using his entire $25,000 deposit to lock in 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 really paid more than what it was worth and really didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, regrettably, came to us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a big home builder and paid her deposit, only to later on be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for items she thought were inclusive in the initial quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Thankfully, with Rahul, one of our new home land 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 far too late. Beginning once again with another home builder and losing the deposit she had actually previously paid wasn’t a choice. So she wound up needing to finance 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 numerous first home buyers that discover themselves in a really stressful circumstance because they have actually made a decision (and parted with a great deal of savings) without having all the information and help from specialists, that they needed.
And we truly do not wish that to happen to you!
