What it costs beyond the price.

  • Land Department registration (Oqood): 4% of the price, usually paid with the booking instalment, plus the developer's small registration fee.
  • No agency fee to you when you buy from the developer: the developer pays our commission.
  • Your payments go into the project's escrow account, released to the developer as construction is certified.
  • At handover: service charges start, and a mortgage can finance the final payment if the plan allows it.

General guidance; we confirm every fee for this project in writing before you reserve.
