Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make. Excitement can make it easy to rush, and rushing is when mistakes happen. A little checking up front can save a lot of trouble later.
Here is a simple checklist to use with any developer, including us.
1. Visit the site and the sales office
Don’t rely only on photos. See the location, the surroundings and the access roads yourself, and meet the people you are dealing with.
2. Understand that renderings are illustrations
Images show the design intent. Final sizes, finishes and details come from the approved plans, so ask to see the layout plan for your exact unit.
3. Confirm the unit’s area and floor
Check the unit number, floor and total area, and make sure they match in every document you receive.
4. Get the payment plan in writing
Make sure the booking amount, confirmation deadline, installments and any possession payment are written down. Verbal promises are not enough.
5. Pay only into official company accounts
Make payments only to the company’s official bank accounts, and never to an individual’s personal account. This is one of the most important protections against fraud.
6. Ask for an official receipt every time
Every payment, big or small, should come with an official receipt. Keep them together with your documents.
7. Read the agreement fully
Read the booking form and the allotment or sale agreement carefully. Pay special attention to cancellation, refund, transfer and late payment terms, and ask about anything you don’t understand.
8. Don’t rush because of pressure
Be careful with anyone who says “only today” or tries to hurry you. A genuine opportunity will still be there after you have checked the details.
A final tip
Keep one folder, paper or digital, with your receipts, plan, agreement and every message you exchange with the developer. If you ever need to resolve a question, you will be glad to have it.
At ZAJ Developers & Marketing we want our buyers to feel informed and confident, so please ask us anything before you commit.
