What to check before you buy

Many developers launch here at once; compare a new tower with the resale prices of finished towers nearby before paying an off-plan price.

  • Who built the tower: the master developer, or another developer on a plot?
  • Is the anchor open, and if not, who delivers it and by when?
  • What did the same layout in the same building sell for in the last six months?
