In the current housing market purchasing off the plan property
has large monetary incentives for the real estate investor. Having the
ability to cater more closely to whatever area of the market you want
enables the investor to generate a more regular income from their rental
yield.
If you are able to attract a certain part of the market to your property
then you are able to guarantee returns that are perhaps greater in proportion
to investing in property that has been built and you need to change to
cater to your slice of the market. Investing in off the plan property
enables the investor to have more choice as they have a relationship with
the developer and can perhaps choose what fixtures and fittings would
best suit the part of the market they are keen on attracting.
If the investor wishes to sell the property once it has been built and
not rent it out to tenants then there are still advantages to do this.
The reason for this is that when the contract for an off the plan property
is decided, the value of the property when it is finished is calculated
based on the market prices of the time.
In a rising market this means that at the end of the construction the
property’s worth can be considerably more when the building contract
was agreed however long ago it was when the contract was decided. Investing
in off the plan property clearly gives a larger number of options to the
investor in ways in which they can maximise their capital.
