Most of the clients would want to ask about the launching price of the property and it’s normal because it helps you figure out how good the potential of your ideal location is for investment. 

An investor loves investing in a property with a steep upward trend for its value appreciation. Investing in a real estate property is always connected to the famous saying of Will Rogers, a known American actor, who once said this famous real estate quotes “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait” and “Buy land, they ain’t making any more of that stuff”. Property values are always expected to rise and rise fast, especially in well-developed locations. So owning a property on its introductory price or on its pre-selling value is a gold mine opportunity for everyone.

4. What are the financing schemes available? 

Acquiring real estate is an investment strategy that can be both satisfying and rewarding. Unlike investing on stock or bond investors, prospective real estate owners can use leverage to buy a property by paying a portion of the total contract price, then paying off the balance, with interest, over time, or simply called “Bank Financing Option”. 

Making a reservation or processing a downpayment on a luxury home for sale is now possible via a secured online payment facility, which offers a variety of payment options.

Brittany offers the following financing schemes:

1. Bank financing – a scheme wherein the client directly pays the down payment portion to the developer and the balance to its partner bank with a corresponding interest depending on the term of the loanable amount.

2. Spot Cash – a scheme where an investor pays off the whole amount in one sitting. Developers usually give a higher discount on investors who choose this term,

3. Deferred Cash  – this scheme is to pay the whole value on the property’s respective down payment term, in reward, the developers apply no interest on the said scheme

4. In-House financing – a scheme wherein the investor applies for a loan to the developer where he or she is trying to invest instead of applying for a loan on a bank institution.

The price tag is not the only thing that defines a modern luxury home.

5. What are the property inclusions upon purchase and other fees?

Once the investor is now ready to invest, it’s time to ask for the specific turnover inclusions of the property. 

1. What are the Floor Area and Lot Area of the property?

2. Would there be furniture included? (applicable to model houses available for sale)

3. How much are the association dues?

4. What is the coverage of the warranty and its terms?

5. Is the list price being discussed inclusive of vat and the miscellaneous fees?
