How the payment plan works at The Canopies
The payment plan for The Canopies is 55/45, which means 55% of the purchase price is paid during construction and 45% at handover. The deposit is 5% of the purchase price. After the deposit, the remaining 50% will be paid in instalments during construction, according to a fixed schedule. This scheme offers buyers the opportunity to pay on a spread basis and reduces the financial risk. The plan is common for off-plan projects in Abu Dhabi and is supported by the developer.

This real estate agent is registered with the Dubai Land Department and acts as an intermediary between buyer and developer. You do not need to contact the developer; the real estate agent arranges all necessary steps, from reservation to transfer. This provides security and convenience. The real estate agent can also advise on financing, legal matters and handling the payments according to the payment plan. So you are assured of a smooth running of the purchase process, without unexpected surprises.
