Every deal on Mumtalakat moves through a defined sequence of stages that gives both the seller and buyer a clear, auditable path from first contact to completed handover. Understanding the full lifecycle helps you know exactly what action is expected of you at each step, what the platform records, and when commission becomes due.

​
The Full Picture

The table below maps each stage to the corresponding action required from the seller and the buyer. Both parties must complete their step before the deal can advance.

​
The Contract’s Five Stages

Once both parties have agreed on terms and signed the commission pledge, the deal enters the formal contract phase. Each of the five stages below must be completed in order.
1

Preparing

The contract is generated and made ready for review. Both parties can inspect the agreed terms before any signature is applied.
2

Signing

The project owner signs first, followed by the buyer. The platform timestamps each signature to create a tamper-evident record.
3

Payment

The buyer initiates a bank transfer directly to the seller. The buyer then uploads payment proof on the platform, and the seller confirms receipt to advance the deal.
4

Handover

The seller uploads the official delivery document. The buyer reviews it and confirms receipt on the platform, marking the asset as transferred.
5

Closed

The deal is fully complete and commission becomes due. Both parties retain access to the archived contract and conversation record.
NDA and direct-invite contracts skip the Payment and Handover stages — they are used for signing and record-keeping only. Commission obligations may still apply depending on the agreement type.

​
Reopening a Deal

Circumstances sometimes change after an offer has been accepted. The project owner can request a deal reopen to revise the agreed terms — for example, to adjust the price or update conditions. The revised terms take effect only after the buyer explicitly agrees, ensuring neither party is bound to a change they have not accepted.
Requesting a deal reopen pauses the current contract stage. Make sure both parties are aligned before submitting a reopen request to avoid unnecessary delays.
