Floorplan options
Whilst existing properties have their floorplans locked in stone (or concrete, at least) the beauty of selecting a brand-new apartment off the plan is more choice.
Most residential buildings are made up of a mix of room configurations and positions within the overall building . The sooner you enquire about a project when it becomes available, the sooner you get to choose the shape, size and aspect of your future home or investment..
In some instances, you can even amend the layout to suit you more and ask for upgrades to the kitchen and soft furnishings such as blinds, at no additional cost.
Colour schemes
Most apartment projects offer two or more colour schemes, usually in a light or dark option. This allows you to choose the backdrop that reflects your personal taste and style, and complements the various finishes and materials used to construct your apartment.
Most of the time, the colour options are neutral in tone, which gives you the perfect blank canvas to personalise your home with colours you like through your own furnishings and artwork.
Fixtures Upgrades
Buying off the plan offer the option to upgrade the standard fixtures to a higher specification. This is particularly common in kitchens, where upgrade options include major appliances like ovens, stovetops and dishwashers. . You might also have the option to select smaller details like the style of tapware, lighting fixtures, cabinetry handles, and so on, at a small additional cost, and sometimes even at no cost.
Likewise, bathrooms are also spaces which developers give buyers the opportunity to make their own. Upgrade packages here may include a choice of shower and tap fixtures – for example chrome, matt black or brass finish – as well as tile colours. Where these selections are aligned to a particular colour scheme, you may not even have to pay extra for the style you want.
Community focused amenities
A large number of apartment developments now focus on building community and social interactions through amenities planned within the building. These can range from swimming pools and gyms, to communal dining spaces for special occasions, and rooftop gardens with bbqfacilities.
When searching for your off the plan apartment, keep in mind the types of building features that are important to you and that can enhance your lifestyle on a day-to-day basis.
