Frequently asked questions
Is my off-plan deposit protected in Dubai?
Buyer funds for registered projects must flow through a RERA-regulated escrow account. Verify the project number on Dubai REST before paying any booking fee.
What payment plan is typical for off-plan in Dubai?
Common structures are 20/60/20 (down / during construction / on handover) or 60/40 post-handover. Always map each instalment to a construction milestone in the SPA.
How do I compare developers fairly?
Look at handed-over units versus promised timelines, snagging resolution speed, escrow registration on every launch, and verified buyer reviews — not launch-event marketing.
