Frequently asked questions
Off-the-plan, answered
What does buying off-the-plan mean?
Buying off-the-plan means securing an apartment before, or during, construction based on plans, finishes schedules and displays. You typically pay a deposit on exchange and the balance at settlement once the building is complete.
How much deposit do I need?
Most off-the-plan apartments require a 10% deposit on exchange of contracts, with the remaining balance payable at settlement. Deposit bonds or bank guarantees can sometimes be arranged in place of cash.
Can I customise my apartment?
Depending on the build stage, many developments offer a selection of finishes, colour schemes or upgrade options. We'll let you know what's available for each project and the deadlines to make selections.
Is off-the-plan a good option for first-home buyers?
Off-the-plan can suit first-home buyers, with potential stamp duty concessions in the ACT and time to save while the building is completed. We guide first-home buyers and investors through the process step by step.
What happens if my plans change before settlement?
We talk you through your contract terms before you exchange so you understand your rights and obligations. We always recommend obtaining independent legal and financial advice.
