Thank you all for your replies. I have read through them and yes there are hidden costs and there are definitely some great excitement from building but I guess for us we need to look at the worse case scenario. We factored in an extra $100k for the house on top of the base price but once we worked out our budget, it is likely to go over that which we didnt really want to.
The problem here is not the house but finding good land. Land around our area costs from 300k upwards for a 500sqm block!!!
We really want a bigger block of land and if we could have found a block for $250k it would have worked great (since we will have that 50k extra for the just in cases).
Once again thank you all. I will keep to updated if we are going to move towards building a house but everytime i look at the new houses i fall in lvoe! LOL
have you looked at buying a really dodgey house as a knock-downer? You might have better luck getting a bigger block at a cheaper price. Factor in about 10-15k for demolition
