Abu Dhabi property, for who you are

A 10/50/40 plan means 10% when you book, 50% in instalments during construction and 40% at handover. We show each plan exactly as the developer published it.

Paid when the sale is registered on DARI, Abu Dhabi’s property platform. Usually shared between buyer and seller unless agreed otherwise.
