Sell units off-plan, collect by installment, hand over.
For developers that build property and sell it, often before construction ends. Units move from available to reserved to sold to handed over. A sale contract carries a payment plan that generates its installment schedule, installments are invoiced through Finance, and handover is gated by a checklist and snagging list. It sits beside Leasing and never changes Leasing data.

What Property development covers.
- Developments and units
- Developments with phases and buildings, and sellable units with type, floor, area, list price and status. Each unit's price history is kept and a signed contract never changes when the list price does.
- Reservations
- A unit, a buyer, a deposit and an expiry date. An expired reservation is released when you click Release expired; there is no scheduler.
- Sale contracts
- Price, discount, one or more buyers with ownership shares totalling 100%, and a status from draft to active to handed over. A unit has at most one active contract.
- Payment plans
- Reusable milestones as a percentage of price, due on a date, on signing, on a named construction milestone or on handover. Applying one generates the contract's installment schedule, which must sum to the net price.
- Installment invoicing
- Installments are invoiced through Finance and tracked for overdue amounts, with a buyer statement showing price, invoiced, paid, balance and next due.
- Handover and warranty
- Handover needs a completed checklist, no open blocking snag and every installment except those due on handover already invoiced. A defect liability period follows, with defects logged against the contract.
What Property development does not do.
- Revenue is recognised at handover. Percent-of-completion revenue and capitalised development cost are not built.
- No escrow accounting or regulator reporting, and no title-deed or government registry integration.
- No broker commissions, mortgage workflow, resale, buyer portal or online payment.
- Contracts are in the company's base currency only.
- Payment plans cannot be edited after creation; retire one and create a new plan. A contract keeps the installments it was generated with.
- Cancellation is for active contracts only, not after handover.
- Circumz applies no country's property tax rules; the contract carries a VAT category and your accountant decides.
