Frequently asked questions

What is the biggest off-plan red flag in Dubai?

A developer asking you to wire funds to a non-escrow account. Every payment must go into the project's RERA-approved escrow at an approved UAE bank — verifiable on the DLD portal.

Are 'guaranteed ROI' offers legal in Dubai?

Guaranteed-return marketing is heavily restricted by RERA and DET. Developers may quote expected yields but cannot legally guarantee them. Treat any 'guaranteed 10% for 5 years' pitch as a major red flag.

How do I verify a developer is legitimate?

Search the project on the DLD Project Status portal (or Dubai REST app). It lists the developer's licence, project licence, escrow account and construction status.

What if the broker pressures me to sign today?

Walk away. Legitimate off-plan units are not single-day deals. Real units allow 24–72h for SPA review and legal advice.
