Off-plan progress updates

Watch it being built, from home.

Buying off-plan from abroad means trusting a building you cannot drop in on. We keep you posted through construction, from the foundations to the handover.

How it works

From the first payment to the keys.

You hear from us at every stage that matters, and you can ask for an update at any time.

  1. Construction updates

    Progress from the site as the building goes up, from us and the developer, with photographs and video.

  2. Payment milestones

    When an instalment is tied to a stage of construction, we tell you the stage has been reached before the payment falls due.

  3. Ready for handover

    As completion nears, we take you through what happens next: the final payment, the inspection and the keys.

  4. Snagging and keys

    The home is checked for defects before you accept it, and anything found goes back to the developer to put right.

In detail

You can ask us for.

  • An update on your building at any point
  • A live video call from the site
  • Where the build stands against the timetable
  • What the next payment is for, and when

Questions

Off-plan progress updates, answered.

How will I know my off-plan property is being built?

Through progress updates from Continental and the developer, with photographs and video from the site. You can ask for an update or a live call from the site at any time.

What happens if construction is delayed?

We tell you as soon as we know, and explain what your contract says about delays. This is one reason we check a developer’s record of finishing schemes before we offer their stock.

Who checks the property at handover?

The home is inspected for defects before you accept it. If you cannot be there, it can be done on your behalf, and anything found is taken up with the developer.
