Dubai Law No8 for the year 2007 on escrow accounts for real estate development (the escrow law) was issued to regulate the functioning of the construction process and safeguarding buyer’s money in respect of off-plan purchases in Dubai. “Post the global financial crisis there has been a substantial overhaul designed to protect the interests and rights of the buyer and monitor the activities of developers and brokers. “An accelerated payment of at least 40 per cent of the purchase value required by many of the major developers has greatly reduced the ‘flipping’ culture prevalent in the past. All developers must abide by law 8/2007 relating to escrow accounts that aim to regulate the functioning of the construction process, thus safeguarding the rights of investors. Developers must now offer construction linked payment plans for sale of every off plan project where payments can only be requested once the milestone has been hit, forcing developers to use those funds correctly.” With all these norms in place, the risk involved in off plan purchases has decreased. In addition to attractive payment plans, some major developers are also offering a waiver of the 4 per cent DLD registration fee usually payable upon booking for selected off plan units. These factors are making off plan purchases the way ahead. www.ere-homes.com | 80069373
