If the seller is decent, then there is no problem. If the seller is a crook and God forbid there is a problem, he could take advantage of the problem and keep your money also.
What I am saying is that the seller will get his money at the developers office when the transfer takes place and not before or after the transfer. The payment can be made through a bank certified cheque.
If the developer is charging 2%, he is supposed to take care of the transfer, but that 2% is seen only as an additional income and not as a service charge if something goes wrong.
I understand in some countries, there is an escrow account even for the secondary market, where the funds are released only when the transfer takes place.
The deal favors the seller. In some cases, a cheque covering 10% of the value is made out by the buyer and in the event the buyer backs out, he forfeits the money on the cheque. But, I am not a party to this. I would insist to that the full money being paid at the developers office.

The transfer papers were sorted at Damacs offices and i was informed that all is in order, i also recieved this mail form Damac
"Further to our meeting dated 5th May 2008, I am writing to confirm that I have received the following Documents:
Pre-requisites for assignment.
Request for assignment
