Purchasing Off- Plan

With the numerous developments underway, buyers are spoilt for choice!

The appeal of an off-plan development is evident with the many benefits such as the aesthetics, modern designs and option of personalisation to the unit. Purchasing property brand new gives the buyer the financial benefit of no transfer duties, as the property does not change ownership, and therefore no VAT is charged as it is directly from a developer.

Here are some important considerations when purchasing off-plan;

• Room capacity

Consider the volume of a room size as most brochures may only specify the floor area

• Layout

The space, area layout and distance between rooms is important to plan how you would furnish your space

• Natural Light

Be aware of the positioning of the unit in relation to it's surrounds. Ensure that your apartment has a flow of natural light

• Surroundings

Consider the amenities and facilities in the area, as well as the ease of access to these places
