Marbella Royce Possession (2026): Complete Guide, Timeline, Construction Status & Handover Process

Possession Guide Part 1 By Manindar Verma, Managing Director, Royals Property Consultant | RERA: PBRERA-CHD04-REA0390 | ⏱ 13 min read

Possession is where most buyer anxiety about a luxury under-construction project actually lives. Price and floor plans are decided at booking — but whether the project hands over on time, and what exactly happens in the months leading up to that handover, is the part buyers usually understand least. This guide walks through Marbella Royce’s possession process end to end: how to track construction progress, what the typical milestone sequence looks like, and exactly what you need to prepare before keys are handed over.

Latest Construction Status

Because construction status changes month to month, we intentionally don’t freeze a specific progress percentage on this page — a static number would go stale within weeks and mislead buyers reading this later. Instead, here’s exactly what to check and where:

• Tower structural progress — how many floors are structurally complete on each of the 4 towers
• Finishing work — plastering, flooring, and fittings progress on lower/completed floors
• Amenities development — clubhouse and shared-amenity construction progress
• Landscaping and external development — typically among the later-stage work items

Expected Possession Timeline — How It Works

Rather than quoting a specific date, it’s more useful to understand the sequence every RERA-registered high-rise project moves through before handover:

1. Structural completion — all floors of a tower reach full RCC structure
2. Internal finishing — plastering, flooring, painting, fittings across units
3. MEP works — mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems installed and tested
4. Testing & commissioning — elevators, fire safety systems, VRV air-conditioning, and common-area systems tested
5. Occupation Certificate (OC) — issued by the competent municipal/GMADA authority once the building is certified fit for occupation
6. Final handover — units are readied for individual buyer inspection and key handover
7. Registration — the sale deed is registered in the buyer’s name, typically post-OC

The Occupation Certificate stage is the one buyers should watch most closely — legally, possession without a valid OC carries risk, and RERA requires developers to obtain it before formal handover.

Construction Milestones

This is a generic, standard sequence for high-rise residential construction, shown to help buyers understand the process — it does not reflect Marbella Royce’s specific current stage, which should be confirmed directly with the developer or Punjab RERA.

What Happens Before Possession?

1. Pre-possession inspection — buyers are typically invited to inspect their unit before final payment/handover
2. Builder communication — formal intimation letter from the developer indicating readiness for possession
3. Final demand letter — remaining payment dues, including any final instalment, are raised at this stage
4. Home loan disbursement — the final loan tranche (if financed) is typically disbursed against this demand
5. Documentation review — buyers should review the final cost sheet, completion certificate, and possession letter carefully
6. Registration — sale deed registration is completed as per Punjab’s applicable stamp duty and registration process
7. Keys handover — physical possession is handed over following successful registration and final payment clearance

Buyer Preparation Checklist

• Confirm final home loan disbursement schedule with your bank
• Keep all payment receipts organised and readily accessible
• Review your original Builder-Buyer Agreement for the possession clause
• Understand any delay-compensation clause in your agreement (see note below)
• Arrange documents needed for registration (ID proof, PAN, address proof)
• Budget for registration and stamp duty charges in advance
• Start interior planning only after structural handover is confirmed
• Plan utility connection applications (electricity, water, gas) early
• Consider a comprehensive home insurance policy from possession onward
• Request a formal snagging/inspection checklist from the developer
• Physically inspect the unit for finishing quality before final payment
• Confirm car parking allocation matches your agreement
• Ask about the process and timeline for society/RWA formation
• Clarify maintenance charges and what they cover post-possession
• Keep a copy of the Occupation Certificate once available
• Don’t make the final payment until you’re satisfied with the inspection
