Purchasing property off-plan—before construction is completed—has become one of the most attractive ways for South Africans to enter the property market. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, off-plan buying offers financial advantages, modern design benefits, and long-term value growth that are hard to beat.
Here’s why off-plan purchases at Reeflords developments continue to appeal to forward-thinking buyers.
⭐ 1. Lower Purchase Price
Buying off-plan allows you to secure a property at today’s price, even though it will be worth more once completed.
Because prices often increase as construction progresses, early buyers benefit from built-in capital growth long before they take transfer.
⭐ 2. No Transfer Duty
One of the biggest financial advantages is that off-plan properties come transfer-duty free, saving buyers tens or even hundreds of thousands of rands depending on the purchase price.
⭐ 3. Flexible Payment Structure
Reeflords typically requires only a small deposit, with the balance payable on completion.
This makes budgeting easier and allows buyers time to prepare financially while the development is being built.
⭐ 4. Modern Features & Energy Efficiency
Off-plan homes offer the latest:
• Contemporary architecture
• Smart layouts
• Energy-efficient appliances
• Modern finishes
• Better insulation and design standards
These features reduce long-term maintenance costs and increase rental desirability.
⭐ 5. Customisation Options
Depending on the project phase, some developments offer buyers options to personalise certain elements—such as finishes or layouts—which is rarely possible with resale homes.
⭐ 6. Lower Maintenance Costs
Because everything is brand-new and under warranty, buyers enjoy several years of low maintenance, reducing unexpected expenses.
Developers also handle defects during the snagging period, easing the stress off the buyer.
⭐ 7. Strong Investment Growth
Off-plan units remain a favourite among investors due to:
• High tenant demand for new units
• Reduced maintenance during the first few years
• Higher rental appeal
• Appreciation potential during construction
For investors, this makes off-plan purchases a low-risk, high-value opportunity.
⭐ 8. Full Developer Support
Purchasing through Reeflords means access to a dedicated team helping with:
• Finance applications
• Progress updates
• Snag management
• Handover inspections
• Registration and final occupancy
This makes the entire journey smooth and stress-free.
