How a post-handover plan works
You pay the booking payment and the construction instalments as usual, but part of the price is deferred until after handover and spread over months or years. You take the home when it is complete and keep paying the developer on the agreed schedule.
- Read the post-handover schedule in the sale agreement, and what happens if you miss an instalment.
- Until the last instalment you hold the Oqood registration, not a title deed: DLD issues title deeds for units 'that have been fully paid for'.
- If you plan to let the home, compare the likely rent with the monthly instalment, and add the service charge.
If you cannot pay, Law No. 13 of 2008, as amended by Law No. 19 of 2020, sets out what happens: after a 30-day notice served through the Dubai Land Department, a developer may terminate and keep up to 40% of the unit's value on a project more than 60% complete, or up to 25% below that, refunding the rest. Handover and snagging in Dubai has the detail.
Before you pay a booking deposit
- The developer and the project.Confirm who the developer is and that the project is registered with the Dubai Land Department.
- The escrow account.Match the account number on the advert with the one in your sale agreement, and pay into no other account.
- The project's progress.Look it up on DLD's Project Status Enquiry, Mashrooi in the Dubai REST app: it shows the completion percentage and the escrow bank and account number.
- The advertising permit.Since April 2024 each off-plan unit needs its own Trakheesi permit.
- The payment plan.Read every instalment's amount and what triggers it: a date, or a stage of construction.
- The full cost.The 4% Oqood fee, any developer charges, and the service charge after handover. Buying off-plan in Dubai covers each in detail.
Questions buyers ask
What is a post-handover payment plan?
A plan where part of the home's price is paid to the developer after handover, in instalments the contract sets, instead of in full when you get the keys.
How much is usually paid after handover?
On the projects we track today with these plans: 20% to 50% of the price.
When is the title deed issued on a post-handover plan?
Once you have paid in full. Under Article 8 of Law No. 13 of 2008, a unit moves from the interim register to the property register only for a buyer who has met all their contractual obligations; until then you hold the Oqood registration, often called a pre-title deed.
