Building through a developer

You may have seen advertisements by companies who are building a complete new residential area. The property developers arrange for the roads, electricity, water and other services and divide the land into building stands.

They can offer you a stand and a choice of building plans. Sometimes the developer will agree to change the plans to suit your exact needs. You will also be able to decide what fittings or finishes you like best such as tiles, carpeting, and light fittings.

The developer will also offer all the finance you need to buy the stand and build your new home. Before you decide to buy from a property developer check on their previous developments. Are they (developments) attractive and well built? Have the homeowners had any problems with their homes or with the development?
