Confirm That the Unit Can Be Assigned

Before marketing, review the SPA and the developer’s current procedure. Assignment may depend on interim registration, a minimum amount paid, developer approval, an NOC, outstanding instalments and administrative charges. Do not advertise transfer readiness until the required conditions are documented. The MKDXB off-plan checklist explains why resale eligibility belongs in the original purchase decision.

• Read the assignment clause
• Confirm the developer’s current procedure
• Calculate payments and fees needed before transfer

Build a Complete Seller Document Pack

An informed buyer will compare the SPA, booking and registration records, payment statement, construction updates, unit details and the remaining payment schedule. Keep receipts and approved variations together, and reconcile every name, unit number and amount. Review comparable developer inventory in the MKDXB developer directory so the resale is presented against genuine alternatives.

• Provide a current payment statement
• Organise registration and contract records
• Disclose remaining obligations clearly

Position the Unit Against Current Alternatives

The likely buyer may be comparing your resale with new developer stock in the same project or competing communities. Price is only one factor: paid amount, next instalment timing, view, layout, floor, completion stage and transfer speed can change the fit. Check MKDXB properties and current transaction evidence before deciding how to present the opportunity.

• Compare with live primary and resale options
• Explain paid and remaining amounts
• Highlight verifiable unit-specific advantages

Coordinate Buyer, Developer and Payment Timing

An off-plan resale can fail when the buyer’s funds, developer approval, NOC, registration steps and the seller’s next instalment are not aligned. Build a written sequence before accepting an offer, including who pays which fee and when. Contact MKDXB to assess commercial readiness and buyer positioning; obtain legal advice where contract rights or liabilities require interpretation.

• Create a step-by-step transfer timeline
• Allocate fees and deadlines in writing
• Do not accept an offer before checking transaction readiness
