A practical checklist for comparing specifications, payment schedules, documentation and delivery terms.
Expanded buyer notes
Attach the right documents
The agreement should identify the unit or allocation method and attach or reference the applicable floor plan, specification, finishes and payment schedule. If the developer may substitute materials, the allowed standard and approval process should be clear.
Control changes
Buyer-requested and developer-requested changes can affect price, approvals and completion. Use a written change process that states scope, amount and time effect before work proceeds. Keep versioned drawings and approvals.
Complete with inspection
Prepare a snag list, allow qualified professionals to inspect important systems and agree correction timing. Reconcile final payments, documents, keys, utilities and estate registration at handover.
