Financing at Kempinski Residences Miami Design District: why pre-construction contracts rarely have a mortgage contingency, and what to do about it

In resale, a mortgage contingency lets a buyer walk if the loan fails. In Miami pre-construction, the contract usually has none. At Kempinski Residences Miami Design District that changes how you plan the money.

This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

The Rule Most Buyers Miss

No loan, no exit.

Developers sell pre-construction with staged deposits and close two to four years later. Their contracts rarely allow a buyer to cancel because a mortgage was declined at closing; the deposits are at risk if you cannot fund. The contract is the only place this is written; the brochure never mentions it.

What Lenders Do With A Building That Does Not Exist

Timing and approvals.

A lender cannot commit years ahead; most will not issue a commitment until the building has a certificate of occupancy and the unit can be appraised. Some lenders pre-qualify buildings; some will not lend on a branded tower with hotel use at all. The question is which lenders have reviewed this building, and when.

How Buyers Protect Themselves

Four moves before contract.

Plan to close in cash if the loan fails. Ask the desk which lenders have reviewed the building. Keep the deposit stages inside what you could lose. Hold the funds in the currency and the account that will wire on the closing date.

The Desk Question

One sentence to ask.

Which lenders have pre-reviewed this building, and what does the contract say if a buyer cannot fund at closing? The desk has the contract; where the answer is a lending decision, it introduces a lender.

Buy the home you can close on without the bank. The bank is a bonus.
