The short answer
An off-plan purchase should be tested through project and developer records, the designated escrow path, the signed SPA, construction evidence, every payment obligation and the likely market at actual handover.
Verify before enthusiasm
Confirm the advertised project, developer, permit and escrow details against current official records. A polished campaign does not replace project identity or a compliant payment path.
For a resale before handover, establish the original contract, amount paid, remaining instalments, assignment rules and all charges before discussing premium.
Read the SPA as a downside document
Completion language, grace periods, material-change rights, default remedies, assignment restrictions and payment milestones explain what happens when events do not follow the brochure.
- Unit and plan identity
- Completion and grace period
- Payment milestones
- Assignment conditions
- Default and termination
- Defect and handover process
Model the market that receives the keys
Today's rent and resale conditions may not be the handover market. Map competing completions, expected service costs, furnishing, first vacancy and the buyer or tenant likely to exist in that future window.
