Things to Keep in Mind Before Choosing a Project
- Location Within the NAC: Projects in R7 and R8 tend to be more residential, while the CBD and financial district are for commercial properties. Know what type of access and environment you need.
- Delivery Timelines: Some projects are ready or near completion, while others are still under construction. Ask for realistic delivery estimates.
- Payment Plans: Most developers offer flexible payment options, but compare down payments, instalment periods, and final delivery terms.
- Legal Paperwork: Make sure all documents are verified and the project is officially registered.
- Resale and Investment Value: Consider whether you’re buying for personal use or as an investment. Some areas may appreciate faster than others.
