The first two months of 2025 have brought exceptional growth to Dubai’s real estate sector, with property transactions surging by 35.5% compared to the same period in 2024. Much of this momentum is attributed to the flourishing off-plan market and the influx of new investor demographics. However, with this sharp rise in deal volume and complexity, the importance of secure, regulated, and transparent financial settlement mechanisms—such as escrow services—has become paramount.
At the forefront of legal and financial facilitation in this evolving market is Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm, one of the UAE’s leading firms for escrow, paymaster, and manager’s cheque services in real estate and high-value transactions.
Escrow Accounts: A Critical Component in Today’s Real Estate Transactions
In a market defined by speed, investor diversity, and increasing off-plan commitments, escrow accounts offer peace of mind for both buyers and sellers. Escrow accounts are especially vital in off-plan sales, where the buyer transfers funds in advance of property completion. These funds are held securely and released only upon meeting predefined contractual milestones.
Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm provides regulated escrow account services in AED, USD, and EUR, with the flexibility to offer additional currencies based on client needs. Our lawyers supervise every stage of the escrow process—from drafting escrow agreements and holding funds to releasing payments upon fulfillment of contractual terms.
Whether you are purchasing a luxury apartment in Dubai, acquiring a commercial unit in Abu Dhabi, or investing in a cross-border real estate project, our escrow services ensure your funds are handled with transparency and legal precision.
Paymaster Services: Simplifying Complex, Multi-Party Transactions
The sharp rise in high-value real estate deals has also increased demand for paymaster services, especially in transactions involving commissions, joint ventures, or multi-party disbursements. Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm acts as a neutral third-party paymaster, ensuring that all parties receive their payments in accordance with legally binding agreements.
Our paymaster services are frequently used in:
- Property brokerage commission payments
- Settlement of developer incentives or performance bonuses
- Disbursement in off-plan developments with multiple investors
- International real estate deals with cross-border capital movement
We prioritize compliance with UAE Central Bank regulations and work exclusively with licensed institutions, offering clients peace of mind that every disbursement is secure, lawful, and traceable.
Manager’s Cheque Services: For Secure, High-Stakes Settlements
For clients who prefer or require settlements via manager’s cheque—a common practice in the UAE real estate market—Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm provides end-to-end support. Our legal professionals assist in preparing, verifying, and delivering manager’s cheques as part of structured closings, often in coordination with local banks, developers, and brokers.
This service is especially critical in final handovers, bulk unit sales, and last-mile settlements where trust, timing, and documentation must align perfectly.
