Off-the-plan unit purchases

Because these deals involve the acquisition of something that does not exist at the date of the contract, special attention is required to ensure both buyer and seller understand the obligations of each party. plans, specifications, management arrangements, bylaws, and caretaking roles must all be documented and interpreted at the time of the transaction.

Off-the-plan community title contracts are highly regulated and expert attention from experienced body corporate lawyers is essential on both sides of the transaction.
