What is Buying Off the Plan?

Buying property off the plan is when a party enters into a contract to purchase a property before the construction process and/or the property subdivision process have been completed.

How Does Buying Off the Plan Work?

Anyone buying property off the plan will have to rely on computer-generated images, floor plans and looking at a sample display home to decide if they want to purchase the property.

The main advantage of buying property off plan is that the purchase price is agreed upon before the building has been built, and the buyer usually only has to pay a small deposit. In addition, buying property off plan means that the buyer may be able to pay less for a property during its development, as prices can increase by the time construction is complete.
