OFF-PLAN
Off-Plan Savvy
Before committing to an off-plan purchase, you need to do your homework. ‘Find out as much as you can about the property. This includes architect plans of the property itself and the development as a whole; price lists for the different types of property; lists of materials and specifications; and whether it’s possible to change the standard specification, i.e. room layout, fixtures and fittings, finishes and colours.’
‘Check the plans of the property carefully. On a scale drawing, it’s difficult to imagine the actual size of the rooms. Look at the show house comparing its actual sizes with what you’ll be getting based on the scale drawings. Check the list of specifications and exactly what these include. The list should be comprehensive, right down to the materials used for roofing and pipes and the colours of walls, doors, windows and tiles.’
‘Check the orientation of the property. To secure a sale, a sales representative will often happily promise you sea views, for example, but you can only be sure of this if you check the plans of the whole development to find out where your property lies in relation to the sea.’ More?
