What's the advantage?
Many people like the idea of being the first to live in a property, that you may be able to choose the plot or unit that best suits you, and selecting fixtures and fittings.
You may need to wait for your new home to be built if buying ‘off-plan’. But choosing a plot and watching a building grow week by week can be very exciting.
There's no onward chain, no waiting for the seller to move or worse withdraw. The purchase is more structured with guided time frames.
