The developer comes back with availability, their reservation form and the payment plan. Read the refund terms before you pay — UAE off-plan has no statutory cooling-off period, so whatever that form says is what governs your money.

💸Deposit amount and refund terms are set by the developer

The contract. It fixes the price, the payment schedule, the completion date and what happens if the project runs late. The compensation clause for delay is the one most buyers skip.

Your money goes into the project's regulated escrow account, held at a bank and released to the developer only against verified construction progress. That account belongs to the developer's project, not to PropDirect — we never hold your funds.

💸Typically 10–20% of the contract price, set by the developer

The developer registers the signed SPA with the DLD, generally within 90 days. Until handover this is your registered claim — worth confirming it actually happened.

💸Land department registration fee applies at this stage

The long stretch. You pay in steps tied to build progress rather than to dates, so a slower project means later instalments — not earlier ones. This is where most of the contract price is paid.

You inspect the finished unit and list the defects before you accept it. Snagging is your leverage and it happens once — after you take the keys the developer's obligation narrows to the warranty.

💸Final instalment, service charges start, utilities connected

The interim registration converts to a title deed in your name once the project completes and the final payment clears. That is the document that makes you the owner.
