Have your Down Payment ready to move

Having the money is not the same as being able to use it on the day it is needed. Savings held in a fixed deposit, an investment account or a bank outside the UAE can take days or weeks to release and transfer. If a seller accepts your offer on a Saadiyat apartment while the funds are still locked, the timeline you agreed comes under pressure. Before you make offers, check each source of your Down Payment: notice periods for breaking a deposit, transfer limits, how long an international transfer takes and what your UAE bank needs to receive it. Write the number of days beside each source and share the plan with your agent, so the dates you propose are dates your money can meet. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
