Property Developers and payments in Dubai - Caveat Emptor

Most property developers take payments directly from property buyers and use those funds to develop the buildings. With the large companies like Emaar, Dubai Holding and Nakheel it would be extremely unlikely that the developers do a runner with your money. However there is a potential risk with the smaller or newer developers that have set up recently to construct something in Dubai. For example in April 2006, the developer of the Light House in Dubai Marina disappeared with investors deposits. The Dubai Land Department is investigating setting up escrow accounts to hold deposits and payments to avoid this situation. In the meantime, do your due diligence. One indication is whether or not you can get bank finance for a project - banks are usually risk-averse, and even at the end of 2006 there are still banks that do not offer any mortgages.
