What happens if the developer does not finish?
Where the law requires escrow, money is released only against progress, with what remains held for buyers. In Saudi Arabia, Wafi adds a right to terminate and recover funds if delivery is more than 180 days late. Where protection is by contract, as in Montenegro, the contract decides.
Can I sell before completion?
Often, subject to the developer’s consent and a minimum share paid, which varies by project. Check the assignment terms before you reserve.
Does an off-plan home give me residency?
Usually not until completion. Saudi Premium Residency and Oman’s Golden Residency both need a completed home; Oman offers a short sponsor-free permit while the home is built.
