Buying off the plan means purchasing property prior to completion, based on the stipulations agreed on by both parties to the Contract of Sale. The Contract normally sets out the time frame within which the property should be completed, as well as the purchase price.
Why would you consider buying ‘unseen’ property? A buyer’s decision to purchase is often influenced by the developer’s reputation, the desire to invest, the lower price, and the property location.
Purchasing off the plan in NSW offers significant benefits in terms of being able to settle on a lower, fixed price. There are also tax benefits in the form of tax depreciations, and stamp duty exemptions. A 10% deposit is usually required to secure the property, but the balance is not due until the settlement date which is often 2 to 3 years in the future.
Despite these benefits, there are also several risks associated with this type of purchase. Above all, there may be layout alterations during construction that can significantly change the end product, resulting in disappointment for the buyer.
That’s why On Call Conveyancing can make all the difference to the outcome of your off the plan purchase. We carefully scrutinise the contract clauses and try to protect our clients to ensure that what you contract for, is what you get on the day of settlement.
For clients wishing to sell off the plan, we prepare the Contract, so that there is clarity at the outset, and complications are avoided. We can have your Contract prepared as soon as we receive instructions. From thereon we provide the expert oversight and personal service needed, to ensure that the conveyancing process runs smoothly, and is stress-free.
