The eight steps
Shortlist and view, agree price, sign Form F (MOU) with a 10% deposit, seller applies for the developer NOC, book the trustee office appointment, pay the 4% DLD fee and manager's cheques, receive the title deed, then hand over keys. Cash deals close in 2–4 weeks, mortgaged deals in 4–8.
