New Construction Sales
& Off-the-Plan Property
St George is one of Sydney's most active development corridors. Whether you're buying your first off-the-plan apartment or a developer marketing new stock, I bring 25+ years of local expertise to every new construction transaction.
Why Buy New Construction in St George?
New developments in the St George corridor offer compelling advantages for both owner-occupiers and investors.
Capital Growth from Day One
Purchase at today's price and potentially benefit from market growth during the construction period — especially in high-demand St George corridors.
Depreciation & Tax Advantages
New properties attract maximum depreciation deductions. For investors, this can significantly improve after-tax returns in the early years.
Modern Design & Efficiency
New builds come with current building standards, energy-efficient systems, and contemporary layouts — reducing maintenance costs and attracting quality tenants.
First Home Buyer Incentives
New construction may qualify for NSW First Home Buyer Assistance schemes, stamp duty concessions, and the First Home Owner Grant (for homes up to $750,000).

My Role in Your New Construction Purchase
Development Assessment
I evaluate new developments based on location, builder reputation, body corporate structure, and projected rental returns — giving you honest, independent advice.
Contract Review Guidance
Off-the-plan contracts are complex. I help you understand sunset clauses, variation terms, and deposit structures before you sign — and recommend specialist solicitors.
Pre-Settlement Inspection
Before you take the keys, I attend the pre-settlement inspection with you to identify defects, omissions, or anything that doesn't match the original plan.
Resale & Leasing Support
Whether you're buying to live in or invest, I provide ongoing support — from finding quality tenants to planning your future resale strategy.

Developer EnquiriesNew Construction FAQs
What is off-the-plan buying?
Off-the-plan means purchasing a property before construction is complete — sometimes before it has even started. You buy based on architectural plans, artist impressions, and a display suite. Settlement occurs when the building is finished, which can be 12-36 months later.
Is buying new construction risky?
There are risks: construction delays, market changes during the build period, and the possibility that the finished product differs from expectations. However, these risks can be managed with proper due diligence — checking the developer's track record, understanding contract terms, and getting independent legal advice.
Do I need a bigger deposit for off-the-plan?
Typically, a 10% deposit is required at exchange, with the balance due at settlement. Some developers offer deposit payment plans (e.g., 5% + 5%). Because settlement is months away, you have time to arrange your finance — but you should get pre-approval before committing.
Can you help sell new development stock?
Yes. I work with developers and builders to market and sell new construction stock in the St George area. If you're a developer looking for an experienced local agent, contact me to discuss your project.
Which St George suburbs have the most new construction?
Currently, Rockdale, Kogarah, Arncliffe, and Hurstville have the highest concentration of new developments due to rezoning, transport upgrades, and population growth. Brighton-Le-Sands also has boutique projects targeting premium buyers.
