Buying Off-Plan

Is There Any Benefit To It?

As you’ll remember back during the property boom of 2007, investing in off-plan properties was extremely profitable. Wait 6 -18 months and by the time these properties were completed, their property values would be through the roof.

propertyYet as the recent recession has bitten harder, off-plan investing has fallen out of favour.

Why? Because for the many property investors who invested prior to the recession, they are now coming away with financial losses of 20%-30% as they still have to pay the original valuation. Ouch!

But here is the thing…

Whilst these homeowners may be struggling now - YOU on the other hand, don’t have to.

You too, can discover how to negotiate investment deals which will leave YOU walking away with the profits, and watch as our Property Mentor experts help you to build strong working relationships with the right developers, in the right locations, for the right price.

How do property developers operate?

The average property developer is keen to generate revenue even whilst their properties are still being built.

So it is no wonder why so many of them opt to sell all or part of their development before it is completed. Not only does it give them extra cash to inject back into their projects, but it also allows them to offer you impressive property deals which are just too good to ignore.

Deal One:


development The majority of property developers are prepared to offer you up to a 20% discount if you agree to buy before the property is finished.

Use our Property Mentor Finance Team however, and our brokers can ensure you always receive the upper end of their discount offering and save more than 20% on your investments!

Imagine receiving a further 20% off a property that would have been worth 30% more 2 years ago? Do the maths and that is a 50% saving which you can transfer straight into property number 2, 3 and 4.

Please Note: If you agree to buy before the property is finished, you will be expected to pay £300-£1,000 on your reservation. Similarly you need to be prepared to wait. Depending on when your deal is brokered your property may take more than 18 months to complete.

Deal Two:


This one is great if you are looking to upgrade your home or have got a property investment that currently isn’t generating a positive cash flow.

Under this deal, property developers will offer you a part exchange where you sell them your current property in return for a discount off the price of the new property you want to buy.

This is a pretty nifty deal as it guarantees you a cash buyer AS WELL AS helps you to save on the costs of estate agents and advertising.

Deal Three:


property development Property experts estimate that it would take £20,000 to bring a second hand property up to the standard of a new one.

From the cost of installing a new heating system to replacing wiring, windows and guttering, to improving roof insulation… the costs can mount up.

However, invest in a new property, and you can feel confident that it is fitted with all the necessary accessories.

Deal Four:


Some property developers will also offer to pay your legal fees, conveyancing costs, stamp duties and a percentage of the deposit to entice you into investing.

And these are definitely worth exploring...

In legal fees alone you can expect to pay at least £1,000-£2,000, and depending on the value of the property, you could end up paying thousands of pounds in stamp duties.

Secure your place NOW...

You too can always come away a winner…

£700 cash back deals, 20% discounts, part exchanges… establishing strong relationships with property developers can be a worthwhile business when you know how to use these deals to your advantage.

Able to invest without the hassle of selling chains, as soon as the property is completed you can happily fill it with tenants without having to wait for the other homeowner to move out or sort out their contracts - it will be yours and yours alone to do whatever you want with!
