3 things to consider before you buy

1. BUDGET
   
   What your willing to spend on a weekly basis & what the bank is willing to lend you often doesn’t line up! Speak to an expert who can assist you to correctly analyse your week to week costs of the mortgage plus items commonly forgotten such as water / council rates, electricity & gas so you don’t come up short.
   
   

2. SITEWORKS
   
   Have you ever wondered why the exact same floor plan can be $50,000 more in different locations to build? This is often due to the sites soil profile leading to increased costs in the preparation of the soil to make it suitable to build on. Misquoting siteworks can make a house & land package appear cheap & later lead to unexpected costs when building. Make sure to speak to an expert who can show you previous siteworks costings & the soil profiles in the areas you are looking.

3. ORIENTATION
   
   Energy efficient home design is becoming more & more important as individuals, developers & councils push for higher levels of home performance. An energy efficient home starts with block selection allowing for northern light to enter the home. Make sure you speak to an expert to maximise your future homes potential.
