The PRA Standard
Off the Plan Properties for Sale in Christchurch
A BOLD VISION
Building Blocks for Your Dream Home - Explore Off the Plan Properties in Christchurch
Many PRA developments are sold off the plan, meaning buyers may purchase before construction is complete. PRA provides key property information to help buyers understand the proposed home, including development brochures, architectural plans, floor plans, specifications, renders and relevant property details. Buying off the plan can suit first-home buyers, investors and downsizers who are looking for a new-build home in a carefully selected location. Where applicable, buyers may also visit a PRA show home to see the quality, finishes and presentation of a completed PRA property before purchasing.

Our Strengths & Commitment
What Sets Us Apart
Price Advantage
PRA aims to deliver a premium product at an affordable price by balancing design, quality finishes, practical layouts, carefully selected locations, materials, specifications and overall value.
Tailored Customisations
Buyers can review the floor plans, specifications, renders and available property information before purchasing. This helps buyers understand the layout, finishes and features of the proposed home before construction is complete.
Extended Duration Time
Buying off the plan may give buyers more time to organise finance, review purchase conditions and prepare for settlement. Deposit requirements depend on the buyer’s circumstances and their bank or lender.
Preferred Selection
Off-the-plan buyers may have the opportunity to choose from available homes within a development before completion. PRA can provide relevant information about layouts, specifications and available options so buyers can make an informed decision.
Show Home Experience
Where applicable, PRA show homes allow buyers to inspect finishes and materials, understand the overall presentation and ask questions about the development. Individual developments may have different layouts, designs, specifications and finishes.
After-Sales Support
PRA provides homeowners with a one-year defect period following completion or settlement for qualifying defects. This may include minor finishing defects, touch-up requirements, fittings that are not functioning correctly or certain workmanship-related defects identified after occupation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does buying off the plan with PRA work?
Buyers can review the development brochure, architectural plans, floor plans, specifications and renders before deciding. Where applicable, they can also visit a PRA show home. Once the buyer is comfortable with the property information, the price and purchase conditions are discussed before the sale and purchase agreement is signed.
What information can I review before buying?
Buyers may be provided with architectural plans, floor plans, specifications, development brochures, images, renders, show-home visits where applicable and other relevant property information.
How do deposits work for a new build?
Deposit requirements depend on the buyer’s circumstances and the requirements of their bank or lender. PRA has worked with first-home buyers who purchased new-build properties with deposits starting from approximately 5%. The actual amount required can vary depending on the buyer, lender, financial position and current lending requirements.
What happens at settlement and handover?
Once the property is completed and all settlement requirements are satisfied, the home moves to final handover. The buyer receives the property keys together with relevant appliance manuals, product instruction guides and available warranty documentation.
Does PRA provide after-sales support?
PRA provides a one-year defect period for qualifying post-settlement issues. This can include minor touch-ups, fittings not operating correctly and certain workmanship-related defects. Issues caused by accidental damage, misuse or matters outside the applicable defect coverage are separate.
Can I ask PRA questions before purchasing?
Yes. Buyers can raise development-related questions with PRA as well as their sales representative where appropriate. This may include questions about the development, property specifications, design, construction, included features and the PRA process.
