New project or subsale: compare certainty, timing and total cost property guide

A subsale home can be inspected in its present setting and may be available sooner, but condition, repairs and transaction coordination need attention. A new project may offer current specifications and staged completion, but buyers assess plans, developer documents and future surroundings rather than a completed unit.

Compare the total cash timeline, financing conditions, maintenance, parking, included finishes, renovation needs and expected possession. Treat rebates and projections as claims to verify in the written documents.

For regulated housing development, review the prescribed agreement, approved plans, expected delivery and defect process. Confirm each project's legal and commercial details before deciding.
