We understand it’s a really thrilling time buying and building your first house, however, it does not always end up that way for many first house buyers.
A lot of times we see individuals losing hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a brand-new house & land package because they thought they were getting themselves a great deal.
But remember, if it sounds too great to be true, it normally is!
See, some builders ‘conceal’ their additional charges and don’t give you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Indicating that ‘quote’ they simply provided you, will most certainly NOT be the final cost you need to pay.
And that’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being sold any house and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper than other similar homes you‘ve looked at … there is most likely a good reason why.
Most of the time it’s because you’re losing out on extras that should actually 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 builder can make up their original price shortfall.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first house buyers that get a bit too excited and regrettably didn’t do sufficient due diligence prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He came to us after using his entire $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no home builder wanted to build on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself an inexpensive price, but he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and really didn’t require to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, regrettably, approached us after she ‘d already signed agreements with a well known home builder and paid her deposit, just to later be struck with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ expenses (for items she thought were included in the initial quote) and had no idea how she ‘d cover the costs.
Luckily, with Rahul, one of our brand-new house specialists were able to assist him find a builder that specialised in building on smaller narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
However, with Sara, it was too late. Starting again with another builder and losing the deposit she had actually previously paid wasn’t an alternative. So she wound up having to borrow the additional $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 numerous first house buyers that find themselves in a truly difficult situation because they‘ve made a decision (and parted with a great deal of cash) without having all the details and help from specialists, that they needed.
And we truly don’t wish that to happen to you!
