Process
Investment or lifestyle? Determine your goals — personal use, rental income, or capital appreciation. This shapes every decision: location, unit type, and budget.
Cash buyers move fastest. Mortgage buyers should get pre-approval first. Budget for DLD fees (~4%), agent fees (2%), and service charges.
Evaluate developers by track record, location, handover dates, and ROI potential. Focus on areas with strong rental demand and infrastructure growth.
A reservation form secures your chosen unit. Pay the booking fee (typically 5–10%) and select your floor, view, and configuration.
Review the Sales Purchase Agreement carefully. Verify the project is RERA registered and the Escrow account is active. We handle this end-to-end.
Both parties sign the SPA. The DLD transfer fee (4% of property value) is due at this stage, along with admin fees.
For off-plan, payment milestones align with construction stages. Palm Signature clients get real-time updates through our Signature+ platform.
Before handover, conduct a snagging inspection to identify any defects. Our team accompanies you to ensure the unit meets promised standards.
Pay the final installment, collect your keys, and receive your Title Deed from the DLD. You are now the legal owner of your property.
Whether short-term or long-term rental, Palm Signature's property management handles everything — tenant sourcing to maintenance.
