Off-plan payment plans typically split payment between a booking deposit, construction-linked instalments, and a final handover payment.

A more generous post-handover payment plan reduces upfront cash requirements but extends your exposure to the developer’s long-term delivery and pricing.

Always request the underlying payment schedule as a document, not just a marketing summary, and check what happens if handover is delayed.
