Recommended next step

What stands out

• ●Under construction
• ●Extended time on the market
• ●Solar panels installed

Worth checking

• Snagging process and whether the completion date still holds

  The property is still being built — ask what the snagging process involves and when it happens, whether the completion date given is still realistic, and whether broadband and utility connections will be live when you move in.

• 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.

• Solar panel ownership and tariff status

  Confirm whether the panels are owned outright or subject to a lease or rent-a-roof agreement, as this affects what transfers with the sale.

What to prepare for

• Ask to see the show home or current build progress, and request the developer's snagging process and expected handover date in writing.

  With the property still under construction, a site visit and a clear snagging process are your main ways to verify quality before completion.

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

The property is currently under construction, which presents an opportunity for buyers to customize their new home. Notably, it features solar panels, which could enhance energy efficiency and reduce future utility costs. However, potential buyers should verify the ownership status of the solar panels and the snagging process with the developer to ensure a smooth transition upon completion. The ongoing construction phase means that buyers should be prepared to ask detailed questions about the timeline and final specifications during a viewing.
