Real Estate Developers

Off-plan sales, escrow and handover in one ledger

The developer add-on covers the whole off-plan cycle: developments broken into phases, price lists and live inventory, sale agreements with payment plans tied to construction milestones, collections routed through escrow, then handover — after which the buyer becomes an owner and starts paying service charges, in the same system.

From launch to handover without a spreadsheet in the middle

Off-plan is a sequence of promises with money attached. Aqari holds the sequence, and the money moves in the accounts as each step happens.

Developments, phases and inventory

Developments split into phases and buildings, a live unit inventory grid, and versioned price lists you can actually govern.

Sale agreements and payment plans

SPAs against a managed buyer party, with payment plans tied to construction milestones and demand notices raised as each milestone completes.

Escrow that actually posts

Collections routed to the project escrow account, controlled withdrawals, and a trustee statement — releasing a draw moves real money between accounts and posts to the ledger, rather than recording a note about it.

Oqood and VAT treatment

Oqood registration recorded per agreement, and VAT treatment set per agreement instead of assumed across the project.

Handover and snagging

A handover gate with snag lists, and on completion the buyer becomes an owner — the point at which off-plan receipts stop sitting as a liability.

Service charges

Service charge plans with periodic billing, collection posted to the ledger, and visibility for owners in their portal.

Buyer portal

Buyers open their own statement, payment plan, receipts and documents without going through your sales desk.

Broker channel

Brokers registered against units and agreements, with discount approval so an off-plan discount is a decision rather than an accident.

The numbers behind the project

Sales tell you what came in. These tell you whether the project works.

Feasibility appraisal

NPV, IRR and residual land value with scenarios — before the project exists, not after the land is bought.

Development cost ledger

Costs captured against the development with budgets, so committed and actual spend are visible while there is still time to react.

Margin per unit

Revenue and cost brought down to the unit, with the basis of the figure stated on the report.

Cashflow forecast

Expected collections from the payment plans against expected construction spend, so a funding gap shows up early.

Frequently asked questions

Is escrow just a record, or does it move money?

It moves money. A release posts bank movements and a journal entry, and the escrow account and the trustee statement stay consistent with the books.

What happens to a buyer at handover?

They become an owner. The unit changes hands in the system, the off-plan liability is cleared, and service charge billing can begin against them.

Is decennial liability tracked?

Yes, alongside the handover and snagging records for the unit.

Is this part of the standard subscription?

No — the developer capability is a paid add-on switched on per company, so property managers are not carrying features they never use.
