Tel Aviv Property Index — Pre-construction and off-plan

Pre-construction & off-plan

Buying an apartment that does not exist yet

Most new stock in Israel is sold before it is built. For a buyer abroad that has real advantages — you are choosing from a plan rather than competing at a viewing, and the payments are staged across the build. It also means handing money to a company for something you cannot stand in.

The protections exist and they are good. They are also written in Hebrew, in a contract drafted by the developer's lawyers. These are the four things to have understood before signing.

Four things to have understood before signing

Sale Law securities

On a new build the developer must secure your payments — usually a bank guarantee. What it covers, when each tranche is released, and what happens to your money if the company fails before handover.

Payments linked to the index

Off-plan instalments are commonly linked to the construction cost index, so the price you sign is not always the price you pay. How the linkage works, and what it has added historically.

The delivery date, and the one after it

Contracts carry a delivery date and a grace period. What compensation is provided when it slips, how it is calculated, and how often it is actually claimed.

Spec, show apartment and snagging

What the technical specification commits the developer to as against what the show apartment implies, and the defect periods that run after you get the keys.

An off-plan price is the easiest one to get wrong

There is nothing to compare it against in the building, because the building is not there. Send us the scheme, the area and the price per square metre you have been quoted, and we will tell you what completed stock nearby has actually been fetching. We take nothing from any developer on this page.

General information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Israeli thresholds, rates and procedures change — several changed within the last two years — and every transaction turns on its own documents. Take advice from an Israeli professional acting for you before acting on anything here.

This index publishes data and takes no money from anyone it writes about. No advertising, no paid placement, no sponsored entries, and no referral or introduction fee from any agent, developer, bank, lawyer, surveyor or mortgage broker named anywhere on this site. Listing an area here is not a recommendation of any scheme being built in it. This is not a licensed brokerage, it holds no listings, and no property is sold through it. Nothing here is an offer or a valuation.

The index measures achieved prices in Tel Aviv. Pages covering other parts of the country describe process, entitlement and area character rather than prices, and no figure quoted in them should be read as an index measurement. Asking prices are not achieved prices, and an off-plan launch price is neither.
