The ready-vs-under-construction debate never ends, and the “right” choice can change with market conditions. But a few core differences stay the same.
A ready flat gives you instant clarity. You see what you’re buying: actual light, real room sizes, the view, the building environment. There’s no waiting, and you avoid the risk of project delays. On the flip side, ready units are often more expensive per square foot, and choices of layout or floor may be limited.
An under-construction flat usually comes at a lower entry price and may offer more payment flexibility over the building period. You might get better choice of floor or position. But you’re taking on risk—delays, changes in plans, or in worst cases, stuck projects.
In “today’s market” (which keeps shifting), one constant rule is: judge the builder’s track record. Do they finish on time? Are older projects well maintained? Talk to existing customers if you can.
If you hate uncertainty and need a home soon, ready might be worth the extra cost. If you’re comfortable waiting, can handle some risk, and want to optimise budget, a reliable under-construction option can still make sense.
