A Property Investment Tool
To successfully invest in offplan property you need the right tools and this is why we developed www.offplanpropertyexchange.com.
We are real estate investors who operate in the exciting world of new build with other investors who need the facility to buy and sell offplan property before it is build complete. This is a process known as ‘flipping houses’, ‘house flipping’, ‘flipping properties’ or just plain old ‘flipping’.
This is not the only way to invest in real estate and it isn’t the only way to use the site, but it is the way that we find most exciting and lucrative. Although larger rewards are available to those who wait for capital growth – there is something to be said for realizing a profit.
Traditionally investors have ‘flipped’ property by employing the services of a real estate agent which depending on your character can still make a lot of sense. However; if you feel empowered by the internet, and capable of handling your own affairs – then off plan property exchange will save you a king’s ransom in sales commission, as it costs £1/day per property to advertise.
To make the best of the site, we recommend that you take a good look around on a regular basis. Look at what’s available in your price bracket, then watch and wait. You need to let your head rule your heart and not vice versa. See if any incentives are being offered such as discounts, property furnishings, legal fees paid etc. Look to see what’s sticking – is there a bargain to be had?
Call the sales office and introduce yourself. Tell the sales staff what you are looking for and which properties you have your eye on. You can bet a pound to a penny that someone is due to view your favorite property tomorrow morning, or this afternoon. Play along – watch and wait – but keep in touch.
Some of the best property deals I have had have been long drawn out affairs, there were many times when I thought I had lost, which made the win all the more sweet.
Happy New Year – Happy Investing.

Good article , Do all developers allow you to sell between exchange and completion? What are the stamp duty implications?
