RERA Law No. 8 of 2007: How Your Funds Are 100% Protected

Dubai is ranked #1 in the Middle East for real estate transparency due to its non-negotiable escrow architecture.

Law No. 8 of 2007

Mandatory Project-Specific Escrow Account

Under Law No. 8 of 2007, master and private developers are legally prohibited from collecting off-plan installments into commercial bank accounts. Every project maintains a designated escrow account supervised by RERA with an accredited UAE financial institution.

DLD On-Site Inspections

Milestone-Linked Fund Release

Developers cannot withdraw investor capital at will. Escrow disbursements are released in strict phases only after licensed DLD engineering auditors complete on-site physical inspections certifying completion milestones (e.g. 20% substructure, 50% superstructure, 80% MEP).

1-Year Warranty Buffer

5% Post-Handover Retention Guarantee

RERA legally freezes 5% of the total project escrow value for 365 days after the Certificate of Completion is issued, providing buyers with guaranteed defect liability protection against structural or mechanical snagging issues.

Judicial Committee Protection

Cancelled Projects Judicial Protection

Under Executive Council Resolution No. 6 of 2010 and Decree No. 21 of 2013, if a development is stalled, the Special Judicial Committee for Cancelled Real Estate Projects liquidates the escrow and land assets, refunding buyers with statutory priority over general creditors.

Statutory legal citations on property rights, foreign remittance, and bilateral tax provisions for France citizens.

Non. Selon la Convention Fiscale conclue entre la France et les Émirats Arabes Unis (Article 6), les biens immobiliers sont exclusivement imposables dans l’État où ils sont situés. Par conséquent, les biens immobiliers situés à Dubaï ne sont pas assujettis à l’Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière (IFI) en France.

Statutory Legal Reference: Convention Fiscale Franco-Émirienne du 9 septembre 1989 (modifiée par les avenants ultérieurs), Article 6.
