Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 19, 2013 1:03 pm Hello All I am wondering is there a time of year.... particular month.... that builders tend to have specials/ free upgrades. We are not in a mega rush to start and I am wondering if we are best to hold out a couple of months? I am seeing advertising saying "beat the April price rise" - but I've been looking at the building market for a while now and there always seems to be ads saying to beat a price rise coming up at the end of the month??? Re: Specials - free upgrades from builders (I am in WA) 2Mar 19, 2013 1:17 pm There's no such thing as a free lunch Joyfull. But - there are times when offers are made - like from shops and pool companies. Downtimes etc. Its always worth keeping an eye out. Re: Specials - free upgrades from builders (I am in WA) 3Mar 19, 2013 7:53 pm Don't think your going to get any specials anytime soon, the building companies have picked up a lot in the past 12 months, the same house I got is an 30k more expensive now than it was last year. I think you will find prices will rise in the next 12 months.

You can go to a couple builders and see what they offer and then see if they will throw in extras because other builders offer something they don't Re: Specials - free upgrades from builders (I am in WA) 6Mar 20, 2013 11:24 am Ooooooo - great idea kat. Re: Specials - free upgrades from builders (I am in WA) 7Mar 20, 2013 3:37 pm You definitely have to shop around to see what they offer. Though it can be hard to compare apples with apples as you need to compare all the other standard inclusions. When we were looking there were a lot of bonus deals but when we looked at what was standard or the cost of the base price they weren't really 'free'. Dale Alcock seem to do a $32K or $34k package every few months and the HomegroupWA special Kat mentioned has been running since they changed from Scott Park.

I think you will find prices will rise in the next 12 months. I've noticed the "giveaways" have changed on our house. Down in my opinion. Price overall has gone up. Which is good for me I guess. Its wise just to keep your eyes open. some deals are OK - IF you can take advantage of them - eg 4 years free use NB: so long as you can pay at the end. Look at your bill from the electricity company. It should detail the charges. You will need to do some estimating and some calculations.
