Why Buy Off Plan and What Does It Involve?

There are many reasons why off-plan property in general and in particular in Kefalonia is interesting to investors.

Off-plan properties offer an excellent opportunity for investors looking to buy properties at a price that is generally below the market value. In addition, most development companies are prepared to offer a lower price when the project is in an early stage of its development and then the prices increase as the project develops.

Properties are sold at a discounted rate from the market value because development companies are always exposed to a certain amount of risk when starting a new project. By selling the properties at a discount, they can easily attract the investors and therefore the funding they need to decrease bank loans and development costs. When purchasing off-plan, the investor also only gets to see floor plans and architects drawings/impressions since the actual property has not been built yet. In return for purchasing property that cannot be used right away, the investor receives a financial incentive in the form of a lower asking price.

The investor usually only needs to pay around 30% of the value of the purchase in the form of a deposit, the remainder is payable in agreed stages of completion and this can obviously be financed by a mortgage.

Investors who do not plan to keep the property and wish to sell before completion, will capture the appreciation of the entire property value, whilst only having invested for example 30%. Other buyers may decide to hold onto the property and rent it out and this is known as buy-to-let property.

So in summary, off-plan properties offer both an excellent price and allow time for the market value to increase before the final payments are made.

When it comes to buying a Kefalonia home, many people choose to build their dream home so that they can ensure they get exactly what they want from the beginning. Building your own home abroad should be an extremely exciting experience but there are a number of crucial areas you should consider before agreeing to a contract. No matter how romantic and idealistic it may seem to have a home built in Kefalonia, ensure that you know the legalities of doing so. This will save you any unnecessary stress further down the line when your home is completed.

In addition, not all Kefalonia construction companies offer the same product and you need to be aware of the different materials that may be used in the construction of your home. As with most things, different materials have different prices and so make sure that when making your selection of company, you compare “apples with apples”. This will ensure that you get a clear and fair picture of what your price for your Kefalonia home includes or more relevant in many cases, what your price does not include and you need to take care when making your decision.
