What It Is

This page should own the definitional layer for the concept on Glossary.ae and explain it in a way that makes its role clear for developer approvals, interim registration, investor exits, pre-completion disposals.
What It Is Not
It is not the same as a completed secondary-market sale and it is not merely a reservation assignment.
When It Is Used

Where You’ll See It
You will see it in developer consent files, Oqood-linked transfers, off-plan deal structuring, investor transaction planning.
Process Context
This concept sits at the mid-project transfer stage while rights remain interim and completion has not yet occurred. It should help the user distinguish this concept from adjacent terms in the same process chain rather than flattening the sequence into one generic label.
Jurisdiction Note
Add a jurisdiction note wherever the term is Dubai-specific, Abu Dhabi-specific, or materially different across emirates.
