Question 1

What is off-plan property in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Off-plan means you reserve a unit in a project that is not yet completed, paying against a construction-linked schedule. Title typically transfers at handover. Funds should be paid into a DLD project escrow account.

Question 2

How does DLD escrow protection work?

Accepted Answer

Developer-sold off-plan projects in Dubai are expected to operate an escrow account so buyer payments are used for that project. Escrow reduces misappropriation risk; it does not guarantee handover dates or capital growth.

Question 3

What do 60/40 and 80/20 payment plans mean?

Accepted Answer

The first number is the share paid during construction; the second is due on handover. 80/20 pulls more cash into the build period. Match the plan to your liquidity, not to marketing copy.

Question 4

What happens at off-plan handover in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

You complete remaining payments, inspect snags, receive keys, and the developer processes title. Service-charge start dates and parking allocations should be confirmed in writing.
