What is Handover Management?

Handover is the last and most visible stage of an off-plan project. It turns buyers into owners and closes the developer’s obligations. A structured handover protects the developer’s reputation and cash flow and is where escrow retention and final collections are settled.

What we handle

  • Completion documentation and authority certificates
  • Handover notices and final statements
  • Final payment collection
  • Snagging appointments and defect tracking
  • Key release and handover records
  • Oqood to title deed conversion

How it works

A clear, accountable sequence with one team responsible from start to finish.

  1. Completion

    We gather completion certificates and confirm handover readiness.

  2. Notices

    We issue handover notices and final statements to buyers.

  3. Snagging

    We schedule inspections and track defects to closure.

  4. Keys and title

    We release keys against final payment and convert Oqood to title deeds.

Who it's for

  • Projects within 6–12 months of completion
  • Developers handing over large numbers of units at once

Questions developers ask

When does Oqood become a title deed?

After project completion and handover, once the buyer’s payments and DLD requirements are complete, the Oqood registration is converted into a title deed.
