What is installment management for property developers?

Installment management is the operational layer that turns a property's price tag into a working schedule of recurring buyer payments — booking deposits, down payments, instalment tranches, milestone-tied payments, final settlements. For off-plan developers, it is not optional: most stock is sold long before handover, and cash flow depends entirely on whether the right amount lands on the right date with the right buyer. DomusHub Payment Plans replace Excel-based tracking with a structured engine that handles all three real-world plan shapes — Upfront, Installment and Stage Payment — and ties their tranches directly to the units, deals and construction milestones they belong to.

Problems & how DomusHub fixes them

Why Excel-based installment tracking breaks at scale

  • One spreadsheet per project, copied across managers, with conflicting versions of the same buyer schedule.
  • No automatic invoicing — finance team rebuilds the same tranche letter every month, by hand.
  • Late payments hide until quarter-close because nobody runs the report on Tuesday.
  • Plan changes (extension, switching from Installment to Stage) get applied to the contract but not the tracking sheet.
  • Multi-currency deals get frozen at the FX rate of the last edit; reports stop matching reality.
  • When a buyer asks "when is my next payment?", nobody can answer in under ten minutes.

What changes with a dedicated installment engine

  • Three plan templates per project: Upfront (full price up front), Installment (recurring monthly / 2-month / quarterly / annual cadence) and Stage Payment (milestone-tied tranches).
  • Booking deadline + Final Payment deadline are auto-enforced — no manager has to remember to chase.
  • Down-payment percentage is set per plan; the first tranche always rolls the booking deposit into it automatically.
  • Stage Payment milestones are linked to the construction module — flip a milestone to Done and the next invoice is generated.
  • Live FX with base-currency rollups so finance always sees the same number that the buyer sees in their cabinet.
  • Audit log on every change so you can answer regulators, partners or anxious investors.

FAQ

Which payment plans does DomusHub support?
Three: Upfront (full payment in one tranche after booking), Installment (recurring tranches by cadence — monthly, every 2 months, quarterly or annual), and Stage Payment (tranches tied to construction milestones such as foundation, roof, handover).
Do invoices generate automatically?
Yes. Each tranche becomes an invoice with the right currency, due date and amount. For Stage Payment plans, the trigger is the milestone status flip in the construction module. Invoices are visible to the buyer in the Buyer Portal and to finance in the Developer Hub.
Can a buyer change their plan after booking?
Yes. After a booking is confirmed and a deal is created, the assigned manager can switch the plan or override individual tranches per deal without changing the master template. Every change is audit-logged.
How does multi-currency work for installments?
DomusHub stores prices in a base currency and renders each schedule in the buyer currency at the live FX rate. Finance dashboards roll up to the base currency, so cross-region totals always match.
What happens to overdue tranches?
Overdue tranches surface in the Sales Cabinet and Developer Hub the day they slip, with auto-reminders to the buyer. The finance dashboard separates Expected (next 60 days) from Overdue, so the team can act before quarter-close.
Does DomusHub generate the contract from the payment plan?
DomusHub auto-generates a structured payment plan and tranche schedule that flows into your contract template. The contract document itself is built from a .docx template you upload once; the schedule, dates and amounts are pulled from the active plan.
