Confirm the project route
Before a deposit moves, ask for the current project and developer details, the payment destination, the reservation form and the expected SPA or registration process. Do not rely on an informal message when the payment instructions matter.
The account receiving funds, the unit identity and the written terms should align before the buyer proceeds.
Keep every version
Save the price sheet, payment plan, reservation form, receipts, amendments and written incentive terms. Off-plan releases can change between phases, so dated documentation helps the buyer understand exactly what was agreed.
If a discount or upgrade is material, request it in the formal paperwork rather than treating a verbal promise as final.
Use professional checks
This article is general research, not legal advice. A buyer should obtain current project-specific confirmation and professional advice where the contract, financing or ownership structure requires it.
Protection works best when the buyer keeps a clean paper trail from the first payment.
