<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo.

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

buying off the plan apartments

Sydney is one of the most popular and desirable cities in the world, known for its iconic landmarks, beautiful beaches, and thriving cultural scene. With its strong economy and growing population, it's no wonder that so many people are looking to buy property in Sydney, particularly for first-time buyers.

Off the plan apartments in Sydney are an increasingly popular option for first-time buyers. Off the plan properties are those that are purchased before they are built, allowing buyers to secure a property at today's prices and move in when the construction is completed. This can be a great way to get into the property market, as off-the-plan apartments are often more affordable than established properties.

When purchasing an off the plan apartment, buyers typically pay a deposit and then make progress payments throughout the construction process. This can be a great way to spread the cost of the purchase over a period of time, making it more manageable for first-time buyers.

Another advantage of buying off the plan is that buyers can often take advantage of government incentives, such as stamp duty concessions, which can save thousands of dollars on the purchase price.

Additionally, off the plan apartments in Sydney can also be a smart investment for the future. With Sydney's population projected to grow significantly in the coming years, demand for housing is expected to increase, which could lead to capital growth on the properties.

When buying off the plan, it's important to do your research and choose a reputable developer and a property that is well-located. Look for properties that are close to public transport, amenities, and employment opportunities. It's also important to carefully review the contract and understand the terms and conditions of the purchase.

In conclusion, off the plan apartments in Sydney are a smart investment for first-time buyers, offering affordability, government incentives, and the potential for capital growth. With the right research and due diligence, off-the-plan properties can be a great way to get into the Sydney property market.

Off the plan apartments in Sydney: A smart investment for first home buyers

Off-the-plan properties offer buyers the opportunity to secure a property at today's prices and move in when the construction is completed.&nbsp;

However, before making an off-the-plan purchase, it is important to evaluate the developer's reputation and track record. A developer's reputation and track record can have a significant impact on the quality of the property, the completion of the construction, and the overall satisfaction of the buyer.

One of the first steps in evaluating a developer's reputation and track record is to research the developer's past projects. This can be done by visiting the developer's website, reading online reviews and testimonials, and checking out the developer's social media accounts. Look for information about the quality of the construction, the level of customer service, and any awards or recognition the developer has received.

Another important factor to consider is the developer's financial stability. A financially stable developer is more likely to complete the construction of the property on time and to a high standard. One way to check a developer's financial stability is to look at the developer's balance sheet and income statement. This information can be found on the developer's website or by contacting the developer directly.

It's also important to check if the developer has any history of legal disputes or consumer complaints. This can be done by checking the developer's record with consumer protection agencies or by searching online for news articles or court records. A developer with a history of legal disputes or consumer complaints may be a red flag and should be avoided.

Additionally, it's also advisable to check if the developer is a member of any professional organisations or industry bodies. This can be a good indication of the developer's commitment to quality and professionalism.

Another important aspect to consider is the developer's track record of delivering projects on time. Late completion of projects can cause significant inconvenience and financial losses for the buyers, so it's important to make sure that the developer has a good track record of delivering projects on time.

Lastly, it's important to have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of the purchase. Review the contract thoroughly and make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the purchase, including the completion date, any warranties or guarantees, and the developer's responsibilities.

In conclusion, evaluating a developer's reputation and track record is an essential step in the process of buying an off-the-plan property.&nbsp;By researching the developer's past projects, financial stability, legal disputes, professional affiliations, track record of delivering projects on time, and understanding the terms and conditions of the purchase, buyers can make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of disappointment or dissatisfaction.

How to evaluate a developer's reputation and track record before making an off the plan property purchase

When buying off the plan, one of the biggest advantages is the ability to personalise your new home to suit your lifestyle and needs. From choosing the layout and finishes to upgrading features and fixtures, the options available can be overwhelming. However, with a little bit of planning and research, you can make the most of the personalisation options offered and create a space that truly reflects your unique style and preferences.

The first step in making the most of the personalisation options is to research the different floor plans and layouts available. Many off the plan developments will offer a range of options, such as one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and so on. It is important to consider your current and future needs when selecting a floor plan. For example, if you're planning to start a family in the near future, you may want to consider a larger layout with more bedrooms.

Another important aspect to consider when personalising your off the plan apartment is the finishes and materials used. From flooring and cabinetry to countertops and lighting, the choices available can be vast. It's important to think about the overall aesthetic you want to achieve, as well as the durability and maintenance of the materials. For example, if you want a low-maintenance option, you may want to consider a flooring material that is easy to clean, such as porcelain tile or engineered wood.

In addition to the floor plan and finishes, you may also have the opportunity to upgrade various features and fixtures in your off the plan apartment. These may include things like appliances, window treatments, and even built-in cabinetry. While these upgrades can add to the cost of your purchase, they can also increase the value and functionality of your new home. For example, upgrading to stainless steel appliances in your kitchen can add a modern touch and improve the overall aesthetic.

When it comes to personalising your off the plan apartment, it's important to keep in mind that the more upgrades and options you choose, the more it will cost. Therefore, it's important to prioritise what is most important to you and your budget. It's helpful to create a wish list of the items and features you want to include, and then to work with the developer or sales agent to find the best options that suit your budget.

When considering the personalisation options for your off the plan apartment, it's also important to think about the future resale value of your property. Some upgrades, such as high-end finishes and appliances, can increase the value of your property and make it more desirable to potential buyers. However, it's also important to consider that some personalisation options may be too unique or specific to your tastes and may not appeal to buyers in the future.

Another important aspect to consider when personalising your off the plan apartment is the layout of the common areas and amenities. Many off the plan developments offer amenities such as a gym, pool, and lounge areas. It's important to consider how these areas will be used and whether they align with your lifestyle and needs. For example, if you're an avid swimmer, a pool may be an important feature for you.

In conclusion, buying off the plan is a great opportunity to personalise your new home and create a space that truly reflects your unique style and preferences. With a little bit of planning and research, you can make the most of the personalisation options offered and create a home that you'll love. Prioritse your needs and budget, keep in mind the future resale value and don't forget to consider the layout of the common areas and amenities.

 
&nbsp;

The first step in making the most of the personalization options is to research the different floor plans and layouts available

How to make the most of the personalisation options offered when buying off the plan

When it comes to buying off the plan, one of the most important steps is to research and compare different developments.&nbsp;

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is the best fit for you.&nbsp;

However, by following a few key steps and keeping a few key things in mind, you can make an informed decision and find the perfect off the plan development for you.

The first step in researching and comparing different off the plan developments is to set your priorities. Consider factors such as location, size, amenities, and price. For example, if you're looking for a new home that is close to your work or family, location will be a top priority.

If you're looking for a larger space to grow into, size will be a top priority. And if you're looking for a development with a lot of amenities, such as a pool, gym, or lounge areas, that will be a top priority.

Once you've established your priorities, it's time to start researching different off the plan developments.

When researching online, pay attention to the images and videos of the developments and their floor plans. These will give you an idea of the overall aesthetic and layout of the development. It's also a good idea to check out the developer's website and social media accounts, as they often post updates and information about their developments.

Another great way to research and compare different off the plan developments is to visit showrooms and display suites. These are physical spaces where developers and real estate agents showcase the different options available. Visiting a showroom or display suite allows you to get a sense of the finishes and materials used, as well as the overall aesthetic of the development.

You can also ask questions and get a better understanding of the options available.

When visiting showrooms and display suites, it's also a good idea to talk to the sales agent or developer about the development. They can provide you with information about the location, size, amenities, and prices of the development. They can also answer any questions you may have and provide you with information about the personalization options available.

Another important aspect to consider when researching and comparing different off the plan developments is the reputation of the developer. This is especially important if you're considering a development that is still in the pre-construction phase.

A good developer will have a track record of delivering high-quality developments on time and on budget. Before making a decision, it's a good idea to do some research on the developer's reputation. You can check the developer's website, read reviews and testimonials, and check the company's registration and licenses.

It's also important to consider the legal aspects of buying off the plan. Before making a purchase, it's a good idea to review the contract and disclosure statement. You should also get legal advice from a conveyancer or solicitor before signing anything. This will help you understand the terms and conditions of the contract, as well as the risks and responsibilities of buying off the plan.

In conclusion, researching and comparing different off the plan developments is an important step in the process of buying off the plan. By setting your priorities, researching online, visiting showrooms and display suites, talking to sales agents and developers, and considering the reputation of the developer, you can make an informed decision and find the perfect off the plan development for you.&nbsp;

Always keep in mind the legal aspects and get professional advice to protect your investment. Don't rush into making a decision, take your time and weigh all your options. Remember, buying off the plan is a big investment and it's important to find a development that meets your needs and fits your budget.&nbsp; 
With a little bit of research and planning, you can find the perfect off the plan development and create a home that you'll love for years to come.

How to research and compare different off the plan developments

Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is one of the most popular cities in Australia for property investment. The city's strong economy, stable job market, and growing population make it an attractive destination for both local and foreign investors.

However, with the current market conditions in Sydney, now may be the perfect time for investors to consider buying off-the-plan apartments.

One of the main factors that make now an ideal time to invest in off-the-plan apartments in Sydney is the city's population growth. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Sydney's population is projected to reach 7.1 million by 2031, with the majority of the growth concentrated in the Western Sydney region.

This increase in population will lead to a higher demand for housing, making off-the-plan apartments a sound investment opportunity. With more people moving to the city, the demand for housing will continue to increase, and this presents a great opportunity for investors to enter the market and take advantage of this trend.

Off-the-plan apartments also offer a number of benefits that established properties do not.

For one, off-the-plan apartments are generally sold at a lower price point compared to established properties, providing investors with the opportunity to enter the market at a lower cost.

Additionally, off-the-plan apartments are often located in new or upcoming developments, which can offer a range of amenities and infrastructure that established properties may not have access to. Furthermore, these properties are often designed to be energy-efficient and sustainable, which can also add to their appeal.

The off-the-plan apartment market in Sydney is also currently experiencing a boost due to the government's recent policy changes. The New South Wales government has announced several initiatives aimed at boosting the construction industry and increasing the supply of housing.&nbsp;

These initiatives include the introduction of the Low Rise Medium Density Housing Code, which will make it easier for developers to construct duplexes and townhouses, as well as the extension of the HomeBuilder scheme, which provides financial assistance to eligible first-home buyers.

Furthermore, off-the-plan apartments in Sydney offer investors the opportunity to take advantage of the city's strong rental market. With a growing population and a stable job market, the demand for rental properties in Sydney is high.

Off-the-plan apartments can provide investors with a steady stream of rental income while they wait for the property to be completed and settled. This can be a great way for investors to generate income while they wait for their property to appreciate in value.

However, as with any investment, it's important to do your own research and seek professional advice before making a decision. It's also important to consider the location of the off-the-plan apartment, as some areas may have a higher demand for housing than others. Additionally, it's important to consider the developer's reputation and track record, as well as any legal and regulatory requirements that must be met before purchasing an off-the-plan apartment.

In summary, buying off-the-plan apartments in Sydney can be a great investment opportunity due to the city's population growth, low interest rates, government initiatives, and strong rental market.

However, it's important to do your research, consider the location and developer, and seek professional advice before making a decision. With the right research and due diligence, buying an off-the-plan apartment in Sydney can be a great way to enter the property market and generate long-term returns. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

With the current market conditions in Sydney, now may be the perfect time for investors to consider buying off-the-plan apartments.



Why now is the perfect time to invest in off-the-plan apartments in Sydney

Off-the-plan apartments are a popular option for buyers looking to enter the property market.

These properties are still in the process of being built, and buyers have the opportunity to purchase them before they are completed.

However, before making a decision to buy an off-the-plan apartment, it's important to understand what to look for and what to avoid.

One of the first things to look for when buying an off-the-plan apartment is the location.&nbsp;

Consider the surrounding area and the potential for appreciation in the future. Look for properties located in areas with strong job markets and a growing population, as these areas are likely to have a higher demand for housing in the future. Additionally, consider the proximity to amenities such as schools, parks, and public transportation.

Another important factor to consider when buying an off-the-plan apartment is the developer's reputation and track record. Research the developer's previous projects and look for reviews and testimonials from previous buyers. Make sure that the developer has a good reputation for delivering high-quality properties on time and on budget.

When buying an off-the-plan apartment, it's also important to consider the quality of the finishes and fixtures. Look for properties that offer high-quality finishes, such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors. Additionally, check if the property is being built to comply with the latest building codes and energy-efficient standards.

Additionally, it's important to review the contract and legal documents thoroughly before making a purchase. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the contract, including the completion date, deposit requirements, and any cooling-off periods. It's also important to be aware of any additional costs, such as stamp duty, legal fees and body corporate fees.

Another important consideration when buying an off-the-plan apartment is the payment schedule. Make sure you understand when and how payments are due, and what happens if the completion date is delayed. Additionally, consider the potential for financing options and whether the property will qualify for a mortgage.

It's also important to be aware of potential risks when buying off-the-plan apartments.

One of the main risks is that the property may not be completed on time, which can cause delays in settlement and rental income. Additionally, the finished product may not match the plans and specifications that were initially presented, which can be disappointing for buyers.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In conclusion, buying an off-the-plan apartment can be a great investment opportunity, but it's important to do your research and understand the potential risks.

Look for properties located in areas with strong job markets and a growing population, choose a reputable developer, and review the contract and legal documents thoroughly.&nbsp;

Additionally, consider the quality of finishes and fixtures, the payment schedule and financing options, and the potential risks associated with buying off-the-plan.&nbsp;

With the right research and due diligence, buying an off-the-plan apartment can be a great way to enter the property market and generate long-term returns.

Off the plan means the properties are still in the process of being built, and buyers have the opportunity to purchase them before they are completed
