Secret Agent director Paul Osborne notes that there is growing concern among apartment developers that some buyers will default prior to settlement. He says this has been prompted by moves by the banks to restrict lending to offshore property investors. Secret Agent, a buyers’ advocate firm, estimates that an off-the-plan developer could lose more than $A100,000 on a two-bedroom apartment in Melbourne if the buyer defaults.
