Features and benefits of purchasing off-the-plan

Purchase now on minimum deposit– settle in the future

If you’re an owner occupier purchasing off-the-plan, you instantly have the added advantage of having everything in order before you move in. Co-ordinating the sale of an existing property can be stressful, but knowing that when buying off the plan you have some time before your new property is ready to occupy provides you with valuable time to plan for your move and can reduce stress considerable.

Greater choice of floor plans, schedule of finishes, colour schemes, levels, views, etc.

One of the greatest benefits of buying off-the-plan is that you get to choose your property from everything that is available in the development. Normally you don’t have that opportunity. If you are quick off-the-mark, the selecting is even greater. A wider array of choice means a greater opportunity to make sure you purchase an apartment with a superior position, aspect and floor layout.

Depreciation benefits—new apartments attract higher tax deductions

As with all investment purchases there are some significant tax benefits. These benefits are greater when the property is newer, as there are more tax depreciations available. Those benefits are greatest when the property is brand new, so buying off-the-plan maximises your available tax deductions.

Capital growth—more growth in much shorter time frames

When developers first offer their new products to the market they usually start with lower prices to encourage a faster sales rate. When construction commences, and the developer has met their construction finance requirements, prices usually rise. Therefore, for investors who commit early to the project there is often a good price incentive.

Government savings—no stamp duty payable in many instances

People who purchase off-the-plan before the start of construction will pay no stamp duty under the $140 million Home Builder’s Bonus Program—announced in NSW budget.

Tips for buying off-the-plan

1. Access and check your financial position, now and for the future. Meet with your preferred banker.

2. Look at the median apartment price growth in the area.

3. Research track record of the project team—architect, builder and sales team.

4. Track the settlement date through construction.

5. Research the record of the developer.

6. Select a competent solicitor or conveyance who specialises in off-the-plan and new unit developments.
