How a listing goes live

Yours · 0 of 16

Every step in this flow belongs to somebody else — the buyer, the developer, your agent and the authority. That is the flow we hold for this kind, not a statement that you have nothing to do: listing it is yours, and it starts on the page you came from.

Somebody else’s clock · 16 of 16

These move when the person or office named beside them moves. They are on the page so you can see what is happening, not so you can chase them.

• Developer and project on the register — Check with Fujairah Municipality that the project is on their register and that the developer's escrow account exists, before any money moves. Buyer money goes to the DEVELOPER's escrow — PropDirect never holds it.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.Your agent · Fujairah Municipality
• Advertising permission — Check with Fujairah Municipality what they require before the listing goes public. Fujairah publishes no permit name we can quote, so ask for whatever approval they issue rather than filing another emirate's permit. In Fujairah it is issued to a licensed brokerage, so an owner listing directly cannot hold one - this is the step where an agent is required.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate.

• Mortgage pre-approval — Only where there is finance. Off-plan lending is usually arranged near handover rather than at booking, so confirm early what the bank will lend and on what date — the payment plan does not wait for it.The buyer · CBUAE
• Listing live — The unit published with its permit number and the developer's payment plan shown. Off-plan is sold on the plan as much as on the unit, so a listing without it invites the questions the EOI is supposed to settle.Your agent
• Reservation agreed with the developer — The buyer registers interest with a booking amount, before any contract exists. Get the developer's receipt for it in writing — Fujairah publishes no standard form, so their receipt is the record.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The buyer · Fujairah Municipality
• Sale and purchase agreement — The developer’s contract, carrying the payment plan and the handover date. Use the developer’s own — Fujairah publishes no standard form, and another emirate’s should not be imported.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The developer · Fujairah Municipality
• Payment plan registered — The instalment schedule the SPA hangs on: how many payments, what each is worth, and what construction milestone each falls due against. Ask for it in writing before the down payment, not after.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The developer · Fujairah Municipality
• Down payment — The first payment, into the developer's project account — never to us. It is what actually secures the unit; ask the developer what proportion they require.The buyer
• Buyer identity and AML check — Emirates ID or passport, source of funds, and screening. Federal, so it is the same in every emirate — and it is what stops a transfer on the day if it is left late.The buyer
• Interim registration before handover — An off-plan unit is registered before any title deed exists, and it is the developer's move rather than the buyer's. Ask Fujairah Municipality for the register they keep and the reference it issues — do not follow another emirate's process here.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The developer · Fujairah Municipality
• Construction instalments — Payments falling due against build progress rather than against dates. THIS STEP REPEATS — eight to twelve times over two to three years — and the journey shows the run of them as one step rather than pretending a purchase has twenty.The buyer
• Completion notified — The developer confirms the unit is complete, which starts the clock on the final payment and on handover. Get it in writing and ask Fujairah Municipality whether they require a copy — it is the document to chase rather than wait on.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The developer · Fujairah Municipality
• Final payment made — The last payment, into the DEVELOPER's project escrow — never to us. Confirm the escrow account with Fujairah Municipality before it moves.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The buyer · Fujairah Municipality
• Snagging inspection — The buyer’s defects list, raised before accepting keys rather than after. Raised after handover it is a goodwill request; raised before, it is a condition of acceptance — so do it either way, and ask the developer what they will accept.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.The buyer · Fujairah Municipality
• Keys handed over — Once the plan is paid and the snagging is settled. Ask the developer what they require in hand first — it varies by project as much as by emirate.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate.

• Ownership document issued — The interim registration becomes the buyer’s ownership document. Ask the regulator for the reference they issue on conversion.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate.
