How Payment Plans Work for Off-Plan Property in the UAE
What does 60/40 mean?
You pay 60% of the price during construction, usually in milestones, and the remaining 40% at handover.
How do post-handover plans work?
You pay a portion after receiving the keys, often over two to five years, which lets rental income help cover payments.
Are payments protected?
In Dubai, off-plan payments go into a project escrow account regulated by the land department and are released as construction milestones are met.
