Why do developers offer lower than market prices?
The simple answer to this is that they have to offer these too you at a lower price to encourage you to buy as a client will never pay the same price for an off plan property than he would for an identical finished product.

However, the real key to this kind of purchase is the low deposit which means you can keep your capital investment down to a minimum enabling you to take full advantage of the capital growth return on your property during the construction period witch is generally 18 to 24 months. The increase in the value of your property rises sharply during and towards the end of the construction period in which time the true value has increased considerably.

What other benefits are there?
One of the many benefits with this system is that you can choose which property you wish to buy and in which area giving you first choice on many of the different designs and locations that are on offer. Popular choices are Penthouses and end properties as these will give you the best capital growth on your investment. Remember, it is all about LOCATION!

Do I have any guarantees with the money I have invested?
Yes! Every developer of new build properties must now have a bank guarantee to protect the clients investment deposit, and any stage payments that the purchaser has paid.
