If you buy off-plan property each developer has their own payment terms and normally this consists of a minimum 10% deposit, followed by stage payments at intervals during the construction of the property and as contracted with the developer when paying the deposit. The final payment is normally paid on satisfactory completion and handover of the property.

When purchasing property from the resale market, the developer may well charge ‘transfer fee’ to offset their costs of changing the legal contract. Usually price quoted to the client already includes transfer fee.

When one buys from the developer off-plan property, he/she buys at original price. On the resale market this property can be sold with the premium - capital appreciation on the property.
