Frequently Asked Questions

Under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, each off-plan project needs its own escrow account with an approved bank, buyer payments go into that account, and money is released for construction against certified progress. The release schedule is set by the escrow agreement and RERA-approved milestones. Under the escrow rules, the trustee bank retains 5% of the escrow account for one year after project completion (to cover defects) before final release; check the current DLD/RERA rules for this and other conditions.

There is no single standard milestone table. Milestones and the release schedule are set by the project's escrow agreement and RERA-approved milestones, and progress is certified by the appointed project consultant. The milestones in this tool are a generic progress checklist only.

Required submissions: Quarterly construction progress reports; annual audited escrow statements; completion percentage certificates for escrow releases; notification of material delays or changes; handover schedules and completion certificates. Penalties apply for late submissions.
