How Off-The-Plan Loans Work
When you buy off the plan, you are agreeing to purchase a property that is not yet built. Typically, you pay a deposit upfront (often 10%) and settle the remaining balance once the property is completed – usually 12 to 24 months later.
The main challenge? Your loan approval usually happens closer to settlement, not when the contract is signed. This makes it important to:
- Review your borrowing capacity early
- Plan for potential valuation changes at settlement
- Work with lenders experienced in off the plan purchases
- Have finance plans in place well before handover
We help you prepare early so you are ready at settlement.

Is Buying Off the Plan Right for You?
Buying off the plan may be suitable if:
- You want to secure a property at today’s price
- You need time to save more before settlement
- You want a brand-new home or apartment
- You are investing and planning for capital growth
- You are buying in a high-demand area with limited future supply
We help you weigh options, consider risks, and make sure lending is in place for any scenario.
