Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Dennis Family Homes - promotions 4Sep 18, 2016 7:13 am I know that with our builder we were able to pay the deposit and hold the price and promotion, but after 6 months, if nothing had occurred, ie soil testing etc to get ball rolling, Then they could charge fees to compensate for further price rises. Double check that they will hold it for that long. Also from my experience, and from what I have read from others. If they tell you August for registration, add possibly another 6 months. They are usually delayed. Re: Dennis Family Homes - promotions 5Sep 18, 2016 9:10 am Thanks for the reply everyone! Loving this forum so much already! Becs Coral, yes he did inform me of the fees after 6 months, which would be $300 per month I think.. I think I'd prefer that, than deciding to sign up later when the base price will have increased by several thousand! Re: Dennis Family Homes - promotions 6Sep 18, 2016 2:27 pm This is always a tricky one. Builders use promos and price jumps to push you into signing up quickly, before you see something else you like better. I've been watching a few builders for about 2 and a bit years, I find that overall there's usually always another promotion or discount, at the same time.. over that time the base price for a lot of builder's has increase by 5-15k in some cases and that appears to be a permanent increase (for now). So, I think if you know what you want go for it, but if your not sure don't sign up just for the promo or to avoid a price increase. Also beware the ones where they hold the price for 6-12months, and then start jumping it up every month. Just because you expect your land to settle on time, doesn't mean it will... i.e. you pay $1,000 or so, lock in a price for 12 months, sign your contract, pay your 5% deposit.. and your land titles don't come, suddenly every month your paying an extra $500 - $200, very soon you'll be paying more then if you'd waited... Please please read the fine print and think about the worst case scenario. My land titles were delayed by 10months...
