What does buying off-plan mean? Your path to securing your dream home

Wednesday 22 January 2025

If you’re considering purchasing a new property, you may have come across the term “buying off-plan.” But what does it mean, and how can it benefit you as a homebuyer? Here’s everything you need to know about buying off-plan and why it could be a smart move for your next home.

 

What is buying off-plan?

Buying off-plan refers to purchasing a property before it has been fully constructed, often when it is still in the early building stages.

Although you may not be able to physically walk through the property, we provide several ways to help you visualise your future home. You’ll likely be shown:

  • Architectural floor plans of your chosen property, so you can see the layout and dimensions of the space.
  • Marketing brochures, which include detailed descriptions and visuals of the development and its surroundings.
  • Show home, where you can experience the quality of fixtures and fittings used, giving you a clear idea of the finishes and overall feel of the homes in the development.
  • Specification samples, so you are able to see the look and feel of your new home, particularly if different finish options are available.
  • Interactive experiences such as computer-generated imagery (CGI) and virtual tours, which can bring the development to life and allow you to explore the space virtually.

While it may seem unusual to buy a home that hasn’t been completed yet, buying off-plan has always remained popular, especially at Hyde New Homes, where our developments are highly sought after!

 

Which are the key benefits of buying off-plan?

More choice of plots

One of the biggest advantages of buying off-plan is having more choice. Want a corner plot, a home with a preferred view, or a particular garden space? Buying off-plan puts you in a prime position to secure the property that perfectly matches your preferences. Once the development starts selling, the first release of plots tends to go quickly, so acting early is key to getting the best spot.

Time to plan

Since completion isn’t immediate, buying off-plan gives you time to prepare. You’ll have ample opportunity to plan your move to minimise any stress and prepare financially by saving for any additional expenses.

Opportunity to spend quality time making your choice

Buying off-plan allows you to take your time in deciding which home suits you best. You can explore different house types, review floor plans, and think about which layout or design works best for your needs.

The extra time you have also allows you to peruse the development’s plans and fully explore which aspects of the home are most important to you, whether it’s room sizes, storage options, or specification.
