What I check before any Meraas purchase
- The payment plan. What each instalment is tied to, and what happens if a milestone slips.
- The escrow account. That your payments go into the project's regulated escrow account.
- The record. Past handovers on time, build quality and how snagging was handled.
- The numbers. Price per square foot against comparable projects, service charges and likely rent.
- Your exit. Resale rules, any developer approval needed, and fees on the way out. See the fees guide.
Questions I am asked
Where does Meraas have projects?
On my property map Meraas has 7 projects across 6 areas, including Port de la Mer, City Walk, DIFC, Dubai Design District.
When are Meraas projects due for handover?
The handover dates the developer has given for these projects run from 2027 to 2030. Dates are the developer's own timelines and can move, so confirm before acting.
How do I check a Meraas project before buying?
Check the payment plan and what each instalment is tied to, that your payments go into the project escrow account, the developer's record on past handovers, service charges, and whether the price per square foot matches comparable projects. I go through each of these with you before you reserve anything.
