Most Australians thinking about a new-build investment stall on one of five things: quality, valuation, the builder, the contract, or trust. Every one of them is legitimate — and all five come from the same place.
In this 90-second explainer, an iBuyNew investment strategist walks through each concern and the root cause behind them: information the developer and the builder have, and you don't.
Topics: buying off the plan in Australia, new build investment property, builder insolvency risk, valuation shortfall at settlement, sunset clause explained, off-the-plan contract review, property investment strategy.
iBuyNew has worked one side of this market for over 15 years and more than 4,000 transactions — new-build and off-the-plan investment across Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
