{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Remedies depend on the contract, but the strongest protections focus on refunds, termination rights and clear milestones. If a project stalls or misses deadlines, you should have a defined refund pathway\u2014ideally a proportionate refund of payments tied to unfinished work, or the option to terminate and recover payments for units not yet delivered. The contract should also spell out what happens if design changes occur or completion is delayed beyond a reasonable timeframe: are penalties or price adjustments possible, is the buyer entitled to move to another unit in the same project, or to a refund of an advance? Milestone-linked payments help avoid paying upfront for work not yet done, and credible completion security (such as an escrow account or bank guarantee) protects funds. Ensure the unit, plan and specifications you signed for are protected against changes. Always have an independent lawyer review these terms; ask the developer for past project performance and references to confirm they can meet their obligations. In short, a solid off\u2011plan contract should link payments to verifiable milestones, include clear refund or termination rights, and provide a remedy if the project stalls\u2014before you hand over more money.","answer_source":"openai_conversational_breadcrumb","category":"Off-Plan Property","category_slug":"off-plan-property","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","conversation_depth":1,"conversation_followup_type":"consequence","conversation_parent_slug":"how-can-buyers-reduce-off-plan-risk","conversation_reason":"Directly connects milestone risk to practical protections and remedies buyers should seek.","conversation_root_slug":"how-can-buyers-reduce-off-plan-risk","created_at":"2026-10-23T19:26:20+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-10-24","display_date":"2026-10-24","drip_batch":"2026-10-24","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property availability, prices, ownership rules, taxes, fees and legal requirements can change.
