Dubai RERA Advertising Permits & Off-Plan Marketing question: brokerage make sure

Dubai RERAAdvertising Permits & Off-Plan Marketing

A developer asks a brokerage to market a new off-plan tower in Jumeirah Village Triangle. Under the RERA Practice Guide (Nov 2024), what must the brokerage make sure of first?

A The tower has reached 20% completion as certified by a RERA-approved consultant
B The developer holds a valid trade licence and has shown the brokerage its approved floor plans
C The project is registered with RERA, has an escrow account and a marketing contract with it
D The project has its own sales office and the developer has set the launch price

Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C. The project is registered with RERA, has an escrow account and a marketing contract with it

The Practice Guide's marketing mechanism for off-plan projects requires a broker to ensure the project is licensed and registered with RERA, that it has an escrow account (and to tell buyers to pay only into it), and that there is a marketing contract between the developer and the brokerage; registration can be checked on Mashrooi in the Dubai REST app. A trade licence and plans are not enough, and no completion threshold applies before marketing.

Common mistake

Treating the developer's licence and plans as enough to start marketing off-plan units.
