What is the duration of the payment plan?Find out how long you have to complete payment. Choose a duration that matches your income and financial capacity.
How much is the initial deposit?Know exactly what you must pay before your allocation or documentation process begins. Make sure the deposit is affordable without disrupting your other financial obligations.
How much will each instalment be?Calculate the monthly or agreed instalment and confirm that you can comfortably maintain it throughout the payment period.
Are there additional fees?Ask about documentation, development, legal, survey, service or other statutory fees. These costs should be clearly explained before you commit.5. What happens if I default?Understand the consequences of late or missed payments. Ask about grace periods, penalties, cancellation terms and whether previous payments are refundable.
