Pros and Risks of Buying an Apartment Under Construction

✔ Lower price compared to completed apartments

❌ Must carefully check legal documentation with a lawyer/notary
❌ Risk of delays or unfinished construction
❌ Uncertainty about the final quality of construction

Always check the developer’s reputation, building permit, and completion deadline.
