definitely in london the property market has gone mental
a couple of years ago, it was all, "i bought this flat offplan, now it's dropped, get me out of this contract."

now it's, "i sold this flat offplan, now it's risen steeply, get me out of this contract."

it means that the developer sells them before they are built - like battersea power station. so you get a plan of what it will look like.

buying before it's built.
Usually at an attractive discount.

Surely it just means the developers know what corners they can cut with the build.
No need for a show home with high end appliances if they've been sold in advance.
