Recommended next step

What stands out

• ●Off-plan
• ●Extended time on the market

Worth checking

• Whether the completion date is contractual, and what's included in the price

  Off-plan purchases are reserved before the property is built — confirm whether the completion date is a binding contractual term or an estimate, what exactly is included in the advertised price versus offered as an optional upgrade, and the terms of any booking or reservation deposit.

• Why the property has not sold

  This property has been on the market for an extended period. The listing history is worth discussing with the agent to understand how the sale has progressed and whether anything has changed.

What to prepare for

• Request the full specification list, the contract terms around your booking deposit, and written confirmation of what's included versus optional.

  Buying off-plan means committing before the property exists — getting these in writing protects you if the finished home differs from what was shown.

What we couldn’t verify

• Land & Property Services valuation and rates assessment

  New-build and off-plan properties often do not yet have an LPS Capital Value or rates assessment — this is expected before a property is fully registered, not a gap in ClearKey's records.

Assessment

This off-plan property presents a unique opportunity for buyers, but it requires careful consideration of the contractual details surrounding completion dates and included features. The absence of confirmed specifications and the need to clarify what is included in the price highlight the importance of thorough due diligence. Engaging directly with the developer will be essential to ensure that expectations align with the final product, making it crucial to gather all necessary information before proceeding.
