What does Oqood mean in off-plan property purchase?

When you buy off-plan, you should not expect a final title deed from day one as you would with a ready property.
This is where Oqood matters: it acts as the provisional registration layer that protects the buyer’s position during development.
But it should always be read alongside the SPA, the payment schedule, the delivery timeline, and the delay or cancellation framework.
A smart buyer does not stop at hearing that the unit is “registered.”
They ask whether the registration is provisional or final, and what happens at completion.
