After signing a contract for an off the plan purchase, we were not happy with the response from our previous conveyancer. This is when we sought the help of the team at SLK. They were amazing throughout the whole process and helped us really get over the line on settlement day.

Common questions about buying off the plan

Look at what the developer can change (finishes, size or floor plan), when they must finish (the sunset clause), which holding costs you pay before settlement, such as rates, owners corporation fees or land tax, and the owners corporation rules. We explain the key terms in a plain-English summary and can negotiate changes.

It's the date by which the developer must complete the project. If it passes, the contract can usually be ended and your deposit returned. Several states now limit when a developer can rely on it, so get advice before agreeing to any extension the developer asks for.

Usually 10 per cent of the price when you sign the contract, with the balance paid at settlement once the property is complete.

Often, but many contracts restrict on-selling until the developer has settled its own sales, so you may need the developer's consent. The usual routes are nominating a substitute purchaser or entering an on-sale contract. We check your contract and prepare the nomination agreement.

You can inspect the property in the week before settlement. At settlement you, or your lender, pay the balance of the price, and we arrange the final adjustments for rates and fees. We tell you what's needed in advance so it settles on time.

Off the plan purchases can carry stamp duty benefits, and first home buyers may be eligible for further concessions. What applies depends on your state and circumstances; we check your eligibility and make sure you claim what you're entitled to.
