Whoyagonnacall? Off-the-plan should not be off-the-cuff

We published two articles on Whoyagonnacall:10 unspoken risks buying off-the-plan which generated not only a lively discussion, but requests to combine into one document to share with family and friends. For example, AlanB wote:

"This is a most informative article that deserves wider publicity and exposure. It should be put into brochure form and compulsorily handed out to all prospective off-the-plan apartment buyers. But that will be opposed by real estate agents and shonky developers. Parents need exactly this information to pass on to their young adult children."

We have combined the articles into one downloadable PDF on the link below:
