Samana's Payment Plans Explained
Samana Developer is best known for one structure: a small down payment followed by 1% of the price every month for 2 - 3 years. Samana promotes a 15% down payment with 1% monthly instalments on selected launches. Terms differ by project, phase and unit, so confirm each one with the Top Luxury Property team before you commit.
Typical plan structures
- Long 1% monthly plans (the most common). After a 10% to 15% down payment, the buyer pays 1% of the price each month for 2 - 3 years. Current plans run for 70 to 75 months, and the monthly instalments are usually paid by post-dated cheques (PDC) or by another agreed method.
- Post-handover plans. Because the monthly instalments outlast construction, part of the price is paid after you get the keys. Samana uses 50:50 plans on many 2024 to 2025 launches, with the second half spread over 24 to 36 months after handover.
- Handover-weighted plans. A small down payment, one or two construction-linked instalments and the bulk of the price at handover. Samana has used splits such as 20:10:70 on earlier launches. This suits buyers who plan to arrange a mortgage at completion.
How the monthly plan works with and without PDC
With a PDC plan, the buyer hands over a set of post-dated cheques at booking, each dated for a future monthly instalment. Some launches offer a version without PDC, where each instalment is paid by other means. The two versions trade off like this:
|
With PDC |
Without PDC |
|
|
Down payment |
10% |
15% |
|
Monthly instalment |
1% of the price |
1% of the price |
|
Number of months |
75 |
70 |
The PDC route has the lower down payment and the longer tail. If you choose it, check how many cheques you must issue and what happens if one is returned.
Worked example: 15% down and 1% monthly on a AED 599,000 studio
This is illustrative arithmetic. It uses the terms above without PDC (15% down, then 1% monthly for 70 months).

Total price |
100% |
599,000 |
|
DLD registration fee |
4% of the price, paid on top |
23,960 |
The headline terms add up to 85% of the price, so ask when the final 15% falls due. If instalments start in November 2026 and handover lands at the end of Q2 2029, about 30 payments fall before handover and about 40 after it. That means roughly 40% of the price is paid once you hold the keys.
Before you rely on any plan
Get the current plan in writing for the exact unit you want. Also confirm the title-deed sequence. Some developers transfer the title at handover and leave the post-handover balance as a receivable, while others hold the title until it is paid off.

What to Check Before Buying a Samana Off-Plan Property in Dubai
A low down payment and a long payment plan make an off-plan purchase easy to say yes to. The real test comes before you pay. These checks show whether a Samana project is properly registered, likely to be delivered on time and worth owning once it is finished.
Is the Project Registered with an Escrow Account?
- Every off-plan project in Dubai should be registered with the Dubai Land Department.
- It should also be linked to a dedicated escrow account.
- Ask for the registration number and verify it with the Dubai Land Department.
- Pay only into the escrow account, never to the developer or an agent directly.
What Is the Developer's Delivery Record?
- Past handovers are the best guide to future ones.
- Compare the promised dates with the actual completion dates on earlier projects.
- Samana Hills' superstructure was completed in September 2020, ahead of schedule (Source: Gulf Business).
- For a wider view, read our guide: Is Samana a Good Developer?
What Will the Service Charges Be?
- Charges vary by community and by amenities such as pools, gyms and landscaped areas.
- Higher charges reduce your net rental return.
- Ask for the expected annual charge per square foot before you book.
- Get the figure in writing, as early estimates can change.
Is There Resale Demand?
- Review recent resale transactions in the same community.
- See how prices have moved since launch, not only the launch price.
- Check how many comparable units are listed at once, since heavy supply can slow a sale.
- Decide your exit before you buy, whether that is a resale before handover or renting after it.
