What the Butterfly Towers handover date means for payments
Under the 5 year post-handover plan, buyers pay 20% at booking and 5% every three months during construction, up to 30%. Only 10% is due on handover, and the last 40% runs for 60 months after it at 4% every six months (Takween Aldar). A later handover pushes back the start of those post-handover instalments rather than adding to them. Under the 50/50 plan listed for retail units, 50% is due on handover, so the date matters more.
What to check before relying on the Butterfly Towers date
- The SPA date and grace period for the unit, since the developer’s Q1 2029 and the register’s 31 January 2029 leave no margin.
- Whether construction instalments are time based or linked to progress. At 5% every three months, the 30% may be paid well before the towers are half built.
- The next DLD inspection in the DLD project status service, the first since May 2026.
- The post-handover schedule in the SPA, including what happens to the remaining 40% if the unit is resold.
