Buying a new home can be overwhelming, especially if the home needs work. If you’re looking at a property that you want to renovate, or add on to, having an accurate budget for the construction costs is essential before making an offer. How can you come up with a realistic budget? Consult a professional! We have helped many of our clients navigate through similar situations.
A client recently came to us while looking to purchase a 1.1-million-dollar home in Philadelphia. They planned to do extensive renovations if the price of both the house and the renovations fit into their budget. Souder Brothers took a site visit to review the project and help the owners come up with a construction wish list and a budget to go along with it. With this knowledge in hand our client was able to make an informed and educated decision regarding purchasing their new home.
Top 5 reasons to consult with a contractor before purchasing a home you plan to renovate:
-
Obtaining an accurate construction budget from a qualified professional will help you determine if the renovations fit into your home buying budget
Without having a construction budget, a homeowner may find after purchasing a home that they don’t have enough funds to complete their renovations. Avoid this by finding out beforehand if both the home and the upgrades fit into your budget.
-

Avoid the uncertainty of having to wonder if you missed anything by trying to come up with a budget on your own.
