buying Off The Plan

Have you been thinking about buying a brand new property off the plan?
Unsure how to start and what to look out for?

At The Shire Conveyancer we specialise in off the plan purchasing and have to date assisted hundreds of clients with this style of purchase.

When purchasing off the plan you need to be aware you are buying a dream. It is important to thoroughly research the builder and their past projects as well as have an in depth review of the contract in particular the schedule of finishes which tell you what is included from kitchen appliances to a gas bayonet on the balcony for your BBQ.
