There are a number of ways to fund off-plan property.

Savings: By putting money aside you can generate enough funds to make a fully-cash or part-cash purchase.

Mortgage Or Remortgage: You can borrow the value of the off-plan property with the assistance of a mortgage, providing you can meet certain criteria. If you own an existing property and it has risen in value, you may consider remortgaging. This means that you can withdraw equity tax-free against the new value.

Sell: This is good option if your old property is not meeting goals anymore. This needs to be considered with care, as it can lead to a capital gains tax bill.

Pension: If you are over 55, you can now withdraw all or part of a pension and utilise the cash how they choose.

Joint venture: Alternatively by teaming up with a family member, friend or another property investor you can create a joint venture. This allows you to split the costs in exchange for an agreement on the profit or the work, depending on the project.

There are many great benefits of off-plan.

Below market value properties: The cost of buying off-plan is often cheaper than buying an existing property. This is because developers are usually offering the property at discounted sale price to entice new buyers. Off-plan properties can be found at up to 55% below market value.

More freedom: Off-plan property has more freedom as investors can often influence the finish of the property.

Meets modern standards: New build homes have aesthetic benefits due to their fresh and modern designs. They also offer sustainable qualities and are more likely to meet the new, raised EPC criteria.

Capital growth potential: The off-plan property capital growth is often higher than other properties. This is due to the upwards mobility of house prices and the demand for properties in the area, stimulated by these properties.

Staged payments: With off-plan property, payment can be split into separate stages. This means that investors often don’t need to pay the purchase price until the development’s completion, instead they will just need a small deposit and a percentage of the overall property price.
