Read the handover date clause closely

The completion date in a brochure is a target; the clause in your purchase agreement is what governs. Read it for four things: the anticipated completion date, any grace period, how a delay is notified, and what the contract provides if a delay runs longer than that. Each point affects how you plan your rent, savings or move. Write the four answers on one page and keep it with the agreement. Ask the developer how progress updates are shared, and how often, so news of a change reaches you early. If the wording is unclear, ask a qualified legal adviser to explain it before you sign. Knowing the grace period in advance turns a delay notice into something you planned for rather than a surprise. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
