What if my Aldar project is late?

Check the date, the clause on delays and the construction progress. Our guide to off-plan risk shows what to look at and when.
Can I resell a Aldar property before handover?
Resale conditions differ by emirate, by developer and by project: how much you must have paid, which fees apply and how the transfer works. We confirm the rules for your project before you reserve. Read more in our guide to reselling off-plan property.
Does Aldar offer payment plans?
Aldar sells its off-plan projects with instalment plans, and the terms differ from project to project and from launch to launch. We confirm the current plan with the developer and give you the date of that confirmation. This is free for you. The off-plan guide explains how plans are built.
