Risk Intelligence
Development delay and delivery
Off-plan and new development assets require review of schedule, quality, payment terms, and delay remedies.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Development assets should be judged by delivery risk, contract terms, and developer execution, not only by the completed vision.
Why It Matters

FAQ
FAQ
Should off-plan assets be avoided?
Not always. Developer, fund protection, delay terms, and completed-market demand should be reviewed.
Can price rise after completion?
It is possible but not guaranteed. Supply, demand, contract terms, and exit cost should be included.
