off-plan properties are usually much more affordable and lower than the market price for a finished property. Developers can also offer various discounts and incentives to buyers, giving buyers a higher value for the money they invest.  

The payment system is also comparatively flexible for off-plan properties with incentives such as post-handover payment plans, extended payment terms, waiver of registration fees, etc.

The return on investment (ROI) for off-plan properties is generally said to be high. Such properties often have a healthy capital appreciation (a rise in the unit’s market value) – sometimes even before the project is completed. 

Essentially, the buyer would be at an advantage by buying the off-plan property at a lower price and eventually being able to sell/rent their unit for a higher price. 

While off-plan properties already have detailed construction plans for the properties, it is possible for buyers to implement certain customizations to their units. 

Keep in mind that these customizations must be approved by the developer and adhere to the guidelines set by the DLD

Depending on factors such as the developer’s reputation, the off-plan project’s amenities, the area the property is based in, and real estate market fluctuations, most off-plan properties have immense potential for capital appreciation. 

As the project nears completion and demand in the market increases, the projects value can appreciate. This is advantageous for investors who wish to either lease their off-plan property on completion or sell it eventually – hopefully giving them a much higher price for the unit than what they bought it for.
