What are Post-Handover Payment Plans?

Post-handover payment plans allow you to continue making payments after receiving the keys to your property. Instead of paying the full amount by completion, you might pay 60-70% during construction and spread the remaining 30-40% over 1-5 years after handover. This makes property investment more accessible by reducing upfront capital requirements and allowing you to generate rental income while still paying for your property.
