In the UAE, escrow in property transactions typically refers to project escrow accounts for off-plan developments, regulated by authorities such as the Dubai Land Department and Real Estate Regulatory Agency.

Buyer payments are deposited into these accounts and released to developers only based on approved construction milestones, ensuring funds are used strictly for project completion.
