talk to other property owners in the area or on the development to establish if there are any issues you should be aware of before purchasing (such as floods in winter, lack of water or electricity supplies in summer)
ask the developer to show you some projects that s/he has completed and talk to owners of properties on these developments to see if they have had any problems
