Here’s the exact flow our buyers follow from shortlist to handover. Key idea: Off-plan is a documentation & timing game. Being “launch-ready” often matters more than hunting one extra discount. 1) Define Objective & Shortlist 1 Clarify hold period, budget (cash/mortgage), rent expectations, and communities you’ll actually use or that tenants want. Shortlist 2–3 launches: layout, view corridor, floor, and exact unit types you’ll accept. Understand service charges range and realistic rent on handover. 2) Document Readiness 2 Have all KYC and payment instruments ready before launch day. If financing, align with a lender and check eligibility in advance. ID & address docs Source-of-funds (where requested) Initial booking amount method (card/bank) 3) Launch Day Strategy 3 Slots can move in minutes. Work with an advisor who has developer access, knows your acceptable options, and can place a reservation fast. Have first/second-choice stacks & views Don’t chase “perfect”—chase a unit that fits the model 4) Payment Plan & SPA 4 Understand the cash-flow: % on booking, during construction, on handover. Read the Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) timelines and penalties. 5) Construction, Snagging & Handover 5 Track milestones, ensure payments post on time, arrange snagging prior to key collection, and prepare utility connections. Risks & How to Manage Them Delay risk: Prefer reputable developers; keep buffers for timeline shifts. Spec mismatch: Lock finishes/specs in SPA; keep all addenda. Cash-flow stress: Model realistic dates; avoid over-leveraging.
