The real cost of your new home
Never go by the price displayed in a display home village; this is the first and the most important thing to remember for anyone going to buy a house. The attractive prices mentioned here are base prices, i.e. prices after which you can choose additional upgrades and features by paying extra. Each builder has their own inclusions and exclusions and you need to check with all the builders exactly what they offer and what not.
Checklist
The following is a checklist of items you need to check for exclusions and inclusions:
• Council approval fees
• Construction insurance premiums
• Soil test by a qualified engineer
• Connections to services
• Excavation and drainage
• Driveways and landscaping
• Legally required construction extras (e.g. scaffolding, security fencing)
• Lighting
• Floor finishes (e.g. carpet, tiles, etc.)
• Kitchen cabinets, bench tops, sinks and appliances
• Curtains and blinds
Also make sure the cost of meeting state and local council regulations (such as extra insulation, rainwater tanks, etc) has been factored into the quoted price. Using these tips will ensure the budget you plan for your house is adequate.
