How to Compare Off-Plan Projects
The best off-plan project is not simply the newest launch. Buyers should compare developer delivery record, escrow status, entry price, nearby supply, expected handover, rental demand, and resale liquidity.
Developer and Location Checks
- Review the developer's completed-project record and construction progress.
- Compare the community's current tenant demand with future supply at handover.
- Check access to employment districts, schools, retail, transport, and lifestyle infrastructure.
- Confirm escrow registration, SPA terms, DLD fees, and resale restrictions.
Payment Plan and Exit Strategy
A flexible payment plan should still match the buyer's real cash flow. Compare the amount due during construction, the handover balance, mortgage readiness, post-handover obligations, and the likely resale market before reservation.
