Is a New Build Right for You?

About the Event

Could a new build be the right property strategy for you?

Buying a new build or off-the-plan property can open up opportunities that you might not have considered before.

But there’s a lot to understand, from the different types of contracts and payment structures to what “turnkey” and “fixed price” actually mean.

So we’re sitting down with Daniel Peterson and Jen Tsombanis from iBuyNew for a practical, no-jargon conversation about how new-build property works and what to consider before you buy.

We’ll unpack:

💰 One-part vs two-part contracts, and why it matters
💰 Deposits, stage payments and how they work
💰 What “fixed price” and “turnkey” actually mean
💰 Apartments vs townhouses vs house & land
💰 The numbers beyond the purchase price, including rent, holding costs, cash flow and resale demand
💰 What makes a new build a strong investment opportunity

Whether you’re considering your first investment property or simply want to understand how new builds fit into your strategy, this is a great place to start.

Come along, ask your questions and get clear on whether a new build could work for you.
