Gold Coast Off-The-Plan Property Specialist
What Is Off-The-Plan?
Buying off-the-plan means securing a brand-new apartment before it’s built.
You pay a deposit upfront (typically 10%), then pay the balance when the property is finished - often 2-3 years later.
You’re buying based on approved architectural plans, floor layouts, and display suite materials - not a finished product.
Why Off-the-Plan Is Growing in Popularity
More buyers (especially on the Gold Coast) are choosing off-the-plan because it provides:
Time to Prepare Financially
With only a 10% deposit required now, you get up to 2 years to plan finances, sell another property, or simply save.
Lock in Today’s Price
Secure your apartment now - even if property prices rise during construction (which they often do).
You pay the agreed price, not the future price.
Brand New, Never Lived In
New apartments are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and built to today’s standards - often with rooftop pools, gyms, or co-working spaces.
Potential Tax & Stamp Duty Advantages
QLD buyers may be eligible for stamp duty concessions, depreciation benefits, and other tax incentives - especially investors and first-home buyers.
High Rental Appeal on the Gold Coast
New apartments in well-located projects are in high demand from renters - including short-term holiday stays and long-term leases.
Who It Suits Best
Off-the-plan is ideal for:
First-home buyers wanting time to prepare
Investors seeking capital growth and rental returns
Downsizers wanting a low-maintenance, modern lifestyle
Interstate buyers wanting to secure property now but move later
What to know Before You Buy
You need finance ready at settlement, not now
Choose reputable developers with a proven track record
Contracts are legally binding - use a good solicitor or conveyancer
There are rules protecting you under QLD’s Land Sales Act
In short
Buying off-the-plan lets you secure a high-quality new apartment at today’s price - with time to prepare, customisation options, and the potential for strong capital growth.
It’s not just a property. It’s a way to develop your dream home without the typical complexities of building yourself.
