New-build & off-plan

New-build & off-plan
in Morocco

Buying before completion means a lower entry price and staged payment. We analyse the project, the developer, the permits and the contract before you commit.

How staged payment works

The purchase price is divided into instalments, ideally tied to construction phases — foundation, structural work, finishing, delivery — so you pay as the building actually progresses. That lowers the entry threshold and keeps the incentive with the developer.

For existing properties, staged payment is uncommon.

What we analyse

Off-plan stands or falls on the developer and the contract. We map out four elements before you commit:

  • The project: plans, building permit, realistic schedule and the agreed level of finish.
  • The developer: track record, previously delivered projects and financial soundness.
  • The contract: instalments tied to construction phases, cancellation conditions and protection of your payments.
  • The payment: a verifiable route through the notary, correctly recorded in the deed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does buying off-plan in Morocco mean?
Off-plan means buying before or during construction, on the basis of drawings and specifications. You often pay in instalments as the building progresses. The advantage is a lower entry price; the trade-off is that you are buying something that does not yet exist.
Can I pay for a new-build apartment in instalments?
Yes, staged payment during construction is common with new-build. What matters is that the instalments are tied to construction phases and that your payments are protected in the contract. We review this for you.
Can foreign buyers obtain financing in Morocco?
Several Moroccan banks offer financing to non-residents, with conditions that vary by bank and profile. We can think through the options with you.
