With his eyes firmly on the future, Jin Choi recently snapped up a three-bedroom apartment off-the-plan in the Concord Central development in Sydney’s Inner West, being developed by Billbergia and Metrics Credit Partners.
While the 33-year-old finance professional is currently single and living in a one-bedroom unit in Chatswood, he wanted to secure larger space to accommodate future plans for a family and optimise capital gains.
“I wanted to buy in this first stage of the project because it always represents the best value. The prices will rise in future stages of the development so being an early buyer means I can capture the full uplift in value,” Jin said.
A financially savvy buyer, Jin also used Coposit – enabling him to pay his deposit over the four-year construction timeframe.
“The four-year settlement period is perfect for me. It is a comfortable timeframe for me to save and really get ahead financially while my apartment is being built,” he said.
According to Jin, the spacious floorplan of his new Concord Central apartment was a major drawcard, along with the convenience unlocked by the project’s location and abundant amenity.
“I can’t wait to move into this big new apartment and have so much extra space. But most of all, my life will be so much more convenient with a train station just a few minutes away as well as shops, a supermarket and parks. Plus the pool and gym in my building – it will be like a mini-city,” Jin said.
“When the North Strathfield Metro is complete in a few years’ time, that will also be another easy transport option for me and is in easy walking distance.”
He noted the premium finishes in the display apartment were another factor in his decision – with thick stone benchtops and premium integrated appliances.
“The quality really is up there with the best. My family has bought off-the-plan projects with Billbergia so I feel confident that my apartment will be finished to an exacting standard,” he said.
A seasoned property buyer, Jin says the off-the-plan buying process was made seamless by direct access to the developer.
“It was great not needing to go through an external third-party agent – questions were dealt with quickly and efficiently with Billbergia being the developer and sales agents,” he said.
