Off-the-plan buyers have to be prepared to play the waiting
game, but for some it’s the perfect strategy.
In the latest episode of The Pure Property Podcast, host Phil
Tarrant and property investment expert Paul Glossop weigh up some
of the pros and cons of getting in on the ground floor of a
property development – or before the ground floor even exists, as
the case may be.
The duo welcome Gerald Touchard to share his journey from
Paris-based chef to Australian buyer’s agent, who recounts how he
built an international portfolio that spans across commercial and
residential. But it’s in off-the-plan purchases that he has learnt
some of his biggest lessons.
Gerald recalls how some hurdles that he had to overcome in the
purchase of a one-bedroom Waterloo apartment were ultimately worth
it for the outcome, and shares his tips when considering buying
before the home is built.
