What this means in practice

Apply the framework to the real facts.

Confirm the developer’s current assignment process and the exact cash already paid. Compare the net exit after fees and outstanding instalments—not only the advertised premium.

What to check

  • Percentage paid and next instalments
  • Developer assignment eligibility
  • NOC and transfer fees
  • Oqood or initial registration
  • Buyer payment and finance capacity

Common mistakes

  • Advertising before assignment is permitted
  • Calculating profit without unpaid instalments and fees
  • Promising a quick transfer without developer confirmation
