Скачать или смотреть How to Avoid Getting Scammed in Dubai

Avoiding scammers in Dubai’s real estate market requires vigilance, research, and following legal and procedural safeguards. Dubai has a relatively well-regulated property market, but like any high-value industry, it still attracts fraudsters. Here’s how you can protect yourself:

⸻

✅ 1. Work Only with RERA-Registered Agents
• Verify agent registration with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) or Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA).
• Ask for the broker card and check their RERA license number via the Dubai REST app or DLD’s website.

⸻

✅ 2. Verify the Developer
• Buy from reputed and DLD-approved developers (like Emaar, Damac, Nakheel, etc.).
• Check if the project is listed and approved on DLD’s Oqood or Mollak systems (for off-plan).

⸻

✅ 3. Use Escrow Accounts for Off-Plan Properties
• Always pay into RERA-approved escrow accounts.
• Never transfer money directly to the developer’s or agent’s personal account.

⸻

✅ 4. Check the Title Deed (if buying ready property)
• Ask for a copy of the Title Deed and verify it at the DLD.
• You can visit the DLD office or use the Dubai REST app to validate ownership.

⸻

✅ 5. Never Pay in Cash
• Use bank transfers to trace transactions.
• Get a payment receipt on the developer’s or agency’s official letterhead.

⸻

✅ 6. Get a Proper Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA)
• Ensure the SPA includes payment plan, handover date, penalties, and all terms.
• Have a legal advisor review it before signing.

⸻

✅ 7. Be Wary of Unrealistic Offers
• Be cautious of properties that are:
• Far below market price
• Come with “guaranteed returns” or “too-good-to-be-true” rental yields
• Pressured to be closed urgently

⸻

✅ 8. Verify Property Listings
• Scammers often copy legitimate listings.
• Cross-check the property on official portals like:
• Bayut
• Property Finder
• DLD’s REST app

⸻

✅ 9. Use Licensed Conveyancing Services
• Consider hiring a real estate lawyer or licensed conveyancer to oversee the transaction and documentation.

⸻

✅ 10. Do Physical Site Visits
• Never buy a property you haven’t seen (especially resale).
• Visit the project site personally or have a trusted representative do it.
