Off-the-Plan Transactions
Purchasing a property off-the-plan offers a unique opportunity to buy a property before it’s built, often at a favorable price. However, this process comes with its own set of complexities and risks that require careful navigation.
At Settle Safe Conveyancing, we provide specialized services to ensure your off-the-plan purchase is handled smoothly and securely.
What is an Off-the-Plan Purchase?
An off-the-plan purchase involves buying a property before it’s constructed, based on the developer’s architectural plans and models. This allows buyers to secure a property at today’s prices, with the potential for value growth by the time construction is completed.
- Key Points:
- Agree to buy a property not yet built.
- Secure a new property at current prices.
- Potential for value appreciation by completion.

Benefits
Benefits: Buying off-the-plan can be advantageous, allowing you to lock in current market prices and potentially benefit from property value appreciation during construction. Additionally, there’s the opportunity to customize certain features of the property, and you may be eligible for government incentives, such as stamp duty concessions.
- Key Benefits:
- Secure property at today’s prices.
- Potential capital gains during construction.
- Customization options available.
- Possible government incentives and concessions

Risks
Risks: However, this type of purchase also carries risks. Construction delays could extend the timeline before you can move in, and market conditions might change, potentially affecting the property’s value. There’s also the risk that the final build may differ from the original plans.
- Key Risks:
- Potential construction delays.
- Market fluctuations impacting value.
- Discrepancies between planned and final build.
