Hyde Park asks almost every buyer for the same start: 10% in the first three months, usually 5% at signing and 5% three months later. 19 of its 27 plans work this way, only one starts below 5%, and none lets you pay nothing early. Palm Hills is the opposite. Its typical plan asks 5% in the first three months, 40 of its 101 plans ask less than that, and 23 of them add a larger payment every year. Hyde Park has no plans with yearly payments, but 7 of its plans ask for a payment at handover.
On price, Hyde Park has the cheaper apartments in Fifth Settlement and Ras El Hekma, and the lowest typical apartment in 6th of October. Palm Hills has the cheapest way into 6th of October at Badya, the cheaper standalone villas in Fifth Settlement and Ras El Hekma, and the cheaper chalets on the coast.
All figures below come from the payment plans and prices on WiserChat on 20 October 2026. Prices and offers change often, so treat them as a snapshot.

Payment plans side by side
This counts 27 Hyde Park plans across 5 projects and 101 Palm Hills plans across 17 projects. Only plans whose payments add up to the full price and that state their payments are included.
| Hyde Park | Palm Hills | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical amount paid in the first three months | 10% | 5% |
| Plans with nothing to pay in the first three months | 0 of 27 | 2 of 101 (2%) |
| Plans asking less than 5% in the first three months | 1 of 27 (4%) | 40 of 101 (40%) |
| Plans asking 10% or more in the first three months | 19 of 27 (70%) | 22 of 101 (22%) |
| Highest amount in the first three months | 10% | 15% |
| Typical plan length | 8 years | 8 years |
| Longest plan | 12 years | 12 years |
| Plans longer than 10 years | 3 | 16 |
| Plans with an extra payment every year | 0 | 23 |
| Maintenance deposit, where the plan states one | 7% in 7 of 13 plans, 8% in 6 | 8% in 37 of 38 plans |
Hyde Park's plans are easy to compare because they barely change between projects. The thing to watch is the handover payment. One plan at Hyde Park New Cairo asks 10% at signing and 30% when you receive the home, with the other 60% paid over 4 years. Its three 12-year plans, at Garden Lakes, Hyde Park New Cairo and Sea Shore, ask 5% at signing.
A low start at Palm Hills often moves money into later years. Many of its longer plans add a payment of a few percent every year on top of the regular installments. Before you compare two monthly figures, ask for the full schedule, including any yearly or handover payments.
