Buying off-plan in Dubai is one of the most attractive ways to enter the market — but it rewards informed buyers. Here's what we tell every first-time off-plan client at Imtiaz.
How escrow works
Every off-plan project must register an escrow account with the Dubai Land Department. Your payments sit in escrow and are released to the developer in line with construction milestones.
Payment plans in plain English
Typical plans are 50:50, 60:40 or 40:60 (during construction : on handover). Some developers offer post-handover plans extending payments years beyond move-in.
Questions to ask before you sign
Who is the contractor? What's the track record on prior handovers? What is the snagging policy? Are floor plans, finishes and specs locked in writing? Get answers in writing — not just on the showroom floor.
