Payment plan patterns

Off-plan in Dubai is usually bought on a staged payment plan. Here is how the plans break down across the tracked projects.

  • All 914 tracked projects offer a staged payment plan, paid in instalments across construction
  • The most common amount due on handover is 40% (189 projects), so you pay roughly 60% during construction
  • 161 projects offer a post-handover payment plan, where you keep paying in instalments after you receive the keys

Common structures include 60/40, 70/30 and 80/20 splits between construction and handover, plus post-handover plans that spread payments one to five years beyond completion. Ask VILA Properties for the full schedule on any project.
