When it comes to buying off-the-plan property, the most frustrating thing can be playing the waiting game. The excitement that comes with buying a brand new pad can be drawn out for several months, and sometimes even a few years, before you get to move in. Buying off-the-plan certainly has its benefits. If you purchase before construction even begins, many features of your new apartment or townhouse are likely to be completely customisable, giving you the rare opportunity to create your dream property from the ground up. Not to mention that once you move in, the whole residence is brand-spanking-new and has never been lived in.
Pedantic about coasters on your benchtops? No water stains from the previous owners to deal with! No random hooks hanging from the ceiling! No sloppily repainted walls after the previous owner’s toddler decided to make the hallway a canvas. All those annoyances are a thing of the past when you move into a brand-new property.
That said, the time between finalising your contract and settlement date can be lengthy. Having no confirmed move-in date can make managing your existing housing difficult, especially if you’re renting or coordinating the sale of your current property. That’s where these properties come to the rescue. These five properties, across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are perfect for buyers who are craving that ‘brand-new’ feeling, but aren’t too fussy about customisations. For those who are too excited and too impatient to wait, all of these properties are ready to move into right now.
