SCENARIO 02 · Timing & cash flow

Ready or off-plan: matching the purchase to your plans.

What if you have funds arriving in stages and do not need rental income immediately?

Buyer
Planning ahead
Priority
Payment timing
Income need
Not immediate

A buyer expects funds to become available over several years. They are comparing a ready property with an off-plan purchase and want to understand the commitments before choosing.

Two routes to consider.

Ready property

Offers an existing unit to inspect and an earlier opportunity to use or rent it.

The trade-offRequires a purchase funding plan that works now.

Off-plan property

A payment schedule may fit funds arriving over time.

The trade-offPayment obligations, completion uncertainty and future rental demand must be assessed.

THE DECISION PROCESS

Look beyond the listing.

  1. 01

    Map every commitment

    Put the proposed instalments, fees and expected funds on one timeline, including the completion payment.

  2. 02

    Allow for a change of plan

    Ask what happens if expected funds arrive late, completion is delayed or borrowing is unavailable.

  3. 03

    Compare like for like

    Consider location, usable space, specification and total cost alongside the payment schedule.

A POSSIBLE DIRECTION

What the brief points towards.

Off-plan could enter the shortlist if the buyer can meet every commitment with a buffer and accept the delivery risks. An attractive payment plan alone is not enough.

Evidence before action.

  • Project and developer due diligence
  • Contract and payment schedule reviewed
  • Funding for the final payment
  • Delay and resale restrictions understood
