Off-the-plan contract review
Buying off-the-plan in NSW? The contract is long and the risk is in the fine print. Torri reads it in plain English before you sign — for a fraction of the wait.
Why off-the-plan is different
When you buy off-the-plan you're signing for something that doesn't exist yet, on the strength of a contract that does. The protections you're counting on — and the risks you're taking — are written into long special conditions most buyers never read closely: the sunset date, the developer's right to change the plan or the finishes, how your deposit is held, and when the place actually has to be registered and finished.
Get it wrong and you can be locked in while the goalposts move. It's a lot to take in, often on a tight deadline, usually without a law degree.
What Torri checks
- 1
The sunset and timing
Torri finds the sunset date and the registration timeline and explains, in plain English, what happens if the project runs late.
- 2
Variations and deposit
The developer's right to vary the plan or finishes, and how your deposit is held, are surfaced — the terms that decide how much can change after you sign.
- 3
The disclosure documents
The off-the-plan disclosure statement, the draft plan and the schedule of finishes are read so you can see what you've actually been promised.
