How Off-Plan Property Purchases Work in Gibraltar
Buying off-plan property in Gibraltar usually follows a structured process:
- Reservation: A reservation fee secures a selected unit.
- Stage payments: Deposits are typically paid in several stages during construction.
- Legal process: Solicitors handle contracts and due diligence.
- Completion: The remaining balance is paid once the property is completed.
Each development may structure payments slightly differently, so buyers should always confirm the details with the developer or their legal advisor.
