    17. What is an "Escrow Account"?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    An Escrow Account is a specific bank account opened for a real property development project where payments from off-plan purchasers or project financers are deposited. These funds are exclusively dedicated to the construction and implementation of that specific project and cannot be attached by the developer�s creditors. This system protects investors by ensuring that their money is only used for the project they invested in, with disbursements monitored by an Escrow Agent and audited by RERA.
