- The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
- Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
- Pay into the project's escrow account only.
- Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
- Budget for the service charge.
- Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask Emaar Properties for the estimate.
- Register the sale with Oqood.
- The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.
