The process of purchasing units off the plan in Ivanhoe

Buying off the plan is a highly individualised process, however there are some key milestones that we can outline.  

Interested buyers will often need to first pay a refundable fee (generally $1000) to reserve a specific unit and again, generally speaking, that reservation will be active until such time as a contract for purchase is signed. 

• If the buyer elects not to proceed, the reservation fee will be refunded. 
• If the buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, broadly speaking, a contract will need to be signed and a 10% deposit (minus the reservation fee already paid) will need to be paid.

Contract signing and taking all the deposits is a key milestone for the developer as, broadly speaking, they will use them as collateral to secure financing for the construction of the new property. 

When construction of the building has been completed, developers will generally contact you and set up a time to complete the settlement of the transaction.

Settlement is the process of exchanging any deeds and it is when you need to have your finances in order so your bank or another financial provider can then pay the developer for your new home.
