Off-plan property: assessing delivery risk

Off-plan property requires checks on the project, contracting party and delivery terms as well as price. Architectural renders illustrate a proposal, not a guaranteed finished result. Review documents, contracts and payment milestones before comparing the discount with completed property.

Practical steps

1. Have professionals verify project status, approvals and completed work
2. Request clear specifications and details of changes permitted by the contract
3. Review delays, defects, remedies and legally available protections

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
