One of the main reasons that they are selling at this premium is because the price is controlled by the developer and marketers.
If you buy at this huge premium, you are giving away your first few years of capital growth to the developer, and it’s not his to have.
When you buy off the plan you should be buying at a discount not a premium.

Can’t tell you what you should do with your own investments. It really depends upon your goals, your needs, your risk profile.

MichaelYardney replied to the topic Cost of rendering over rough 70’s brick in the forum Value Adding 18 years ago
Cost of rendering over a smooth surface is $40 – $45 per sq mt.
If the bricks are rough to enable you to get a smooth finish you will need to do a lot of preparation. just measn extra coats of a special material that smooths things out.
This could increase the cost by 50%

If you are looking for capital gain – and congratulations for doing so, becuase that’s what creates true wealth in property then the best indication of future capital growth is the past capital growth of a suburb.
And teh longer a suburb outperforms, the more likley this is going to continue in the future.

Hi
What is attracting you to this particular property?
They are harder to get finance for and harder to sell and have some of teh challenges already discussed.
There would have to be something pretty special about this property to make you choose it over the thousands of properties avaliable for sale.
