What is an Escrow account?

An Escrow Account is a safekeeping account in which funds are deposited by one party (or parties), to be disbursed to another party (or parties) based on fulfillment of certain conditions which govern the Escrow account arrangement.

Conditions for operation of real estate Escrow accounts are governed by each Emirate’s Real Estate regulatory authorities. Each end user who buys an off plan property in a development pays into the project’s Escrow account. The funds are not usable by the developer for any costs other than the project construction, consultancy, sales and marketing and land payments. Money will only be disbursed from the Escrow account directly to the project contractor and consultant on completion of each stage of construction and when verified by previously determined experienced engineers. Any other Escrow account disbursements are governed by the Escrow Agreement and respective regulators instructions. AlSalama Bank currently offers Escrow services for projects in Dubai, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah.
