Three developers in Dubai have been fined Dh500,000 each for promoting and marketing real estate projects without completing the mandatory registration procedures for off-plan projects.
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) did not name the developers, but said they had violated a law on real estate development escrow accounts.
Ali Abdullah Al Ali, director of the Real Estate Control Department, urged investors to verify that off-plan projects are licensed and registered with an escrow account. They can check this through the DLD’s Dubai REST application.
Investors must not “make any payments outside the project’s escrow account”, he added.
