Off-plan purchases typically start with a small booking deposit, then staged payments through construction; the cash you need up front is modest relative to the price.
For off-plan purchases (buying before completion), you usually secure a unit with a small booking deposit, followed by a staged payment plan spread across the construction period, with the largest portion due at handover. So the cash needed to get started is modest relative to the total price.
Some developers offer financing to foreign buyers on part of the price, which reduces the cash you need to complete. The exact structure — booking fee, stage percentages, and any financing — varies by development, and we share the specific figures privately.
As a rule of thumb, we can work with buyers who have from around £50,000 available to invest, because staged plans and financing let that go a long way. The right number for you depends on the unit and how you fund it — that's part of the conversation.
