The Benefits to Buying off Plan

Buying Off Plan
It is a regrettable fact that many property buyers run a mile from buying off-plan. In fact, property investors should be running for their cheque books rather than running for the hills!

Buying off-plan on a well-established resort with a steadfast reputation and good financial backing is a great way to acquire a property abroad for the following reasons.

Lower Prices: 
Everyone loves to feel they are getting a good deal and one of the main benefits of buying off-plan in Portugal is that you can usually get a better price than buying a completed property. Developers often offer discounted prices during the early stages of development to encourage buyers to purchase at an early stage.

Customisation: 
Does the idea of being able to choose your kitchen, floor tiles and bathroom suite appeal to you? How many buyers get into a new property and immediately rip out the kitchen, even sometimes when it is almost new? Another advantage of buying off-plan in Portugal is that buyers can customise the property to their liking. From choosing the colour scheme, finishes, and other details to reflect your personal style and preferences, your new property will immediately feel like home.

Potential for capital growth: 
Buying off-plan in Portugal can be a good investment opportunity, as properties often increase in value as the development progresses and as the area becomes more popular. This can lead to potential capital appreciation for the buyer. In the 1st quarter of 2023, the House Price Index (HPI) in Portugal rose by 8.7% year-on-year.

All the mod cons: 
Off-plan properties in Portugal will be brand new with up-to-date construction techniques and technology. With advances in green technology, this can result in lower running costs for the property.

Payment Schedule: 
Developers often offer flexible payment schedules when buying off-plan in Portugal. Buyers can spread out the payments over a longer period, which can make it easier to manage finances. At Boavista, you pay a €10k reservation deposit to secure the property, followed by 20% 28 days later at the promissory contract. Then two stage payments of 20% at intervals for structure and roof and then the final 40% on the deed.

Peace of Mind: 
When buying off-plan in Portugal, buyers can enjoy a level of security that they may not have when buying a completed property. Developers are typically required to provide warranties and guarantees for off-plan properties, protecting buyers in the event of issues with the property. Boavista offers a 10 year warranty on its new build properties.

Buying on a resort - easy and secure:
Resorts which offer new build properties are usually landscaped and beautifully manicured and infrastructure is maintained to a high standard. Developments mostly offer on-resort facilities, like Boavista, which has a golf course, clubhouse, tennis courts, spa, restaurants and other leisure facilities along with 24 hour security. Additionally, resort properties hold their value because of a controlled infrastructure with no unforeseen new buildings popping up in front of you, deteriorating roads or unkempt common areas.

Modern facilities:
If you buy off-plan, the communal facilities will likely be newly constructed and up to date. Boavista´s new Bayview Leisure and Wellness Centre is an exclusive facility for owners and their guests. It incorporates an indoor heated pool, relaxation rooms, hi-tech gym and outdoor heated pool. In warm weather, the glazed doors can be opened to the manicured lawns and a retractable roof makes an attractive feature which can be opened to the sky. The stylish gym offers a space fitted with modern cardio and strength-building equipment. While toning up, you can admire the spectacular views from the large picture windows.

Why buying off-plan on Boavista is safe:
●    It is a huge benefit to clients purchasing on Boavista that the resort is part of a multi-national property company.
●    The Emerson Group is one of the largest privately owned property development companies in the United Kingdom. 
●    Its international subsidiaries include Emerson International, active in Florida, and Jones Homes in Portugal.
●    Boavista´s parent company has worldwide assets of 1 billion pounds sterling, giving the resort the enviable position of being resilient to economic downturns.
●    The Emerson group was built on the foundations of good service and a personal and professional relationship with clients.
