20.01.2022 Why be a property developer? - You don’t need to be a big business, super rich, a financial genius or have heaps of time on your hands.

Sintra Developments is helping them do it.

18.01.2022 FAQ - What ongoing commitments do I need to make? - There are two types of ‘commitment’. There will be financial commitments throughout the development which Sintra will work out with you upfront. The other is the time or emotional commitment.

That way you’ll never have to, say, leave your own job early for an on-site meeting with the builder to resolve something. Sintra will do it for you.

18.01.2022 FAQ - Can I save costs by doing some things myself or does Sintra have to do everything? - You can choose to do some things yourself if you prefer.

This is because each stage of the development is connected, so if one step is delayed that will affect all of the other steps.
