Read moreOff-plan checklist
Six things to verify on any Dubai project
RERA project number
Every registered project has one. Ask for it and check it with the Land Department.
Escrow account
Off-plan payments should go into the project's escrow account, never a personal account.
Handover date
Ask what happens, and what compensation applies, if handover is delayed.
Payment plan
Compare how much is due before and after handover, and any post-handover terms.
Developer track record
Look at the developer's earlier projects: were they delivered on time and as promised?
Fees & service charges
Budget for the Land Department fee, Oqood registration and yearly service charges.
