How is my investment protected? What is RERA and escrow?
Your investment is protected by Dubai's robust regulatory framework:
- RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency): Every off-plan project must be registered with RERA. You can verify any project on the Dubai Land Department (DLD) website.
- Escrow Accounts: Mandatory under UAE law. All buyer payments go into a government-regulated escrow account. Funds are only released to the developer based on verified construction milestones.
- Oqood Registration: Off-plan purchases are registered with the DLD, providing legal documentation of your ownership rights.
Aroraa Real Estate ensures complete transparency — you will receive all registration documents and payment receipts at every stage.
