Buying a New Home in Before Completion - The Pros and Cons

Author: Michael E Taylor

Buying a new home is a daunting task in itself. Your may keep on hunting for ages and still not find anything that fits into your individual requirements. Whatever you come across can involve a lot of modifications that can cost you a fortune, in addition to the hassles involved in getting things done to your liking.

When you suddenly find an ad that says new uncompleted houses are up for sale with an option that allows homebuyers to select finishes, colors etc, it seems just the right choice to get the home you had been searching for, for so long.

When you get into a purchase contract with the builder, you are naturally happy that things will now be easy for you to have the home finished to your individual taste. However, after a few months you begin to doubt if your move to buy the house was a right one. The reason for this may be the nuances in the contract you missed appreciating properly. Now when you understood that you had a choice to make a selection of the interior paint colors, you may have had different hues of blue/green/ pink in mind whereas the contract stipulated a choice from among just two colors, say bone and Navajo white. When you check with the builders they say they can do what you want only if you make a non-refundable prepayment for it. This leaves you with no choice but to opt for one from whatever they have to offer.

Even for the exterior when you pick what you fancy you are told by the builders to select something else, as it does not go along with their project as a whole. After many such rejects you throw up your hands in despair and just let them do what they want.

This makes you feel disappointed and cheated in buying a pre-constructed home. Builders are willing to extend the facility of allowing you to indulge, but will never do anything that would compromise the entire building project. They prefer making pre-construction buying contracts as it saves them a lot in carrying costs. However, they keep in mind the marketability of the property if you happen to back out of the contract for some reason.

Therefore, it is advisable that you have an open discussion and clear-cut understanding with the builders as to what choices you will be allowed to make before you bind yourself in a pre-construction purchase contract. This will help avoid disappointment later and let you maintain a good working relationship with the builders. Ask for a detailed list of specifications related to the finishing also. It should clearly specify the quality of plumbing, tiles, electrical items, carpet, linoleum and other fixtures to be provided by the builder. Some builders may have a provision in the contract that allows you to make a choice to a certain price limitation. There can also be provisions for upgrades in case you are prepared to pay for better quality fixtures than what is standard as per the contract. However, you will usually have to pay upfront for the upgrades, as the builder will want to be protected against the extra costs in case you back out of the contract.

Since it may not be easy for you to visualize on your own as to how the house will look after completion, it is best to get the services of an interior decorator when making selections of colors and other items as he/she can offer expert advice on the issue.
