What this means in practice

Apply the framework to the real facts.

Confirm the project, developer, escrow details and the exact unit documents. Registration and escrow evidence reduce uncertainty, but they do not guarantee completion, timing or investment performance.

What to check

  • Official project registration
  • Approved escrow information
  • Construction progress where available
  • Unit and sale documents
  • Payment beneficiary and account details

Common mistakes

  • Paying to an account that was not independently checked
  • Treating project registration as a guarantee of return
  • Relying only on a brochure or salesperson
