We know it’s a really exciting time purchasing and building your first house, however, it does not always wind up that like that for many first house buyers.
Too many times we see individuals squandering hundreds of thousands of dollars on a brand-new home & land bundle since they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
But keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be true, it generally is!
See, some Companies ‘conceal’ their additional charges and do not provide you fixed upfront ‘quotes’. Meaning that ‘quote’ they just offered you, will most definitely NOT be the final amount you have 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 an excellent reason why.
The majority of the time it’s since 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 contractor can make up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of scary stories from first house buyers that get a little bit too excited and regrettably didn’t do enough research prior to parting with their hard-earned money.
Rahul was among them. He came to us after spending his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wished to construct a house on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a low-cost cost, but he ‘d really paid more than what it was worth and actually didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, regrettably, approached us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a big Company and paid her deposit, just to later on be hit with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for extras she thought were included in the initial quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our brand-new house build experts were able to assist 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.
However, with Sara, it was far too late. Starting once again with another Company and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t an option. So she wound 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 a few of the many first house buyers that find themselves in a really difficult situation since they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a great deal of money) without having all the details and support from experts, that they needed.
And we honestly do not wish that to occur to you!
