The developer's terms switch off as the house goes up

A developer's Further Terms are written for bare land. Drag the slider from signing day to move-in and watch which clauses still have teeth at each stage of the build, and which part of the house each one is about.

Where is the build?

Drag the handle or tap a milestone. Dates are typical for an Auckland terraced townhouse signed off the plans, roughly 20 months from signing to settlement.

Part-way through a new build and want a second read of the Further Terms before you go unconditional? Send it through.

A general guide, not legal advice. Every developer drafts their own Further Terms, so the clause numbers and the exact wording in your agreement will differ. The dates shown are typical, not a promise about any particular development. Have your lawyer review the actual agreement before you sign or confirm any condition.
