Customer story: Twin brothers, Paul and Edmond, build their first home together
Breaking into the property market can be tricky for first homebuyers, but it’s definitely an easier feat when you have a trusted sibling by your side throughout the process.
At least, that’s what 30-year-old twin brothers, Paul and Edmond, discovered when they decided to share the cost of their first home.
‘We were living with Mum in a really small space and sharing a room,’ recalls Edmond, who works in Marketing.
‘When we were looking to move out, it was difficult to buy an existing property or secure a rental. We knew it was more affordable to purchase a house and land package. We just weren’t sure how to get there.’
‘Being able to still have a social life was one of the main reasons we chose to build together. We can still buy clothes, go out for dinner and travel when we want to,’ says Paul.
That’s when they found Homebuyers Centre’s four-bedroom, two bathroom Addison 20 paired with the Modern façade. The siblings were able to build their first home together, splitting the cost of their mortgage in half – making it a very affordable option. Plus, the clever design options available with Homebuyers Centre meant they still got their space and privacy.
‘I love having my own space at the back of our home, with my bedroom and the main bathroom all to myself. Edmond has the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in-robe at the front.’
Their chosen floorplan has various design options to suit any lifestyle – allowing plenty of room for working and entertaining. So, if one of the brothers needs an early night to wind down, there’s space for it without having to compromise.
But as a professional draftsman, it was the quality of Homebuyers Centre’s builds that ultimately closed the deal for Paul. ‘After lots of research it was easy to see that Homebuyers Centre’s product stood out. The standard inclusions and build quality really sealed the deal,’ he says.
As for Edmond? As a first home buyer, he just wanted it to be easy.
Homebuyers Centre’s in-house finance team, Resolve, made the process much easier by working out how much they could borrow and the best home loan product for them.
Thanks to Homebuyers Centre’s colour schemes, selecting the perfect colours and finishes was also super simple. From the six options, the boys landed on the Urban scheme.
‘Once everything was signed, we were able to start building. The process was easy and simple. Not once did I feel like it was stressful and Homebuyers Centre is such a trusted name in the industry which put us at ease,’ says Edmond.
‘We would definitely recommend other people, especially siblings, to build together. It’s a no brainer to enter the market.’
