RERA Compliance for Developers
Meet every RERA requirement before and after launch, and protect your project from costly regulatory disputes.
The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) enforces strict guidelines to protect investors and ensure transparency across Dubai's real estate market. Non-compliance can halt sales, trigger penalties and damage developer reputation.
Our compliance services help developers meet RERA requirements at every stage, minimising legal risk and building investor trust.
Our RERA compliance services
- Project registration with RERA: ensuring developments are legally registered and approved
- Escrow account management aligned with RERA's financial-protection rules for off-plan projects
- Marketing and advertising compliance so promotional activity meets RERA guidelines
- Consumer-protection assurance to safeguard buyer interests and maintain standards
Ongoing compliance, not a one-time event
RERA obligations continue throughout construction and sales: from escrow drawdown rules tied to construction progress to reporting and advertising controls.
We keep developers ahead of regulatory changes and conduct compliance checks so issues are caught early, not during an audit.
Our process
- 1
Compliance assessment
We review your project against current RERA requirements and flag gaps.
- 2
Registration & approvals
We register the project with RERA and secure required approvals and permits.
- 3
Ongoing monitoring
We monitor escrow, reporting and advertising compliance through the project lifecycle.
What you'll need
- Registered developer entity
- Project documentation and escrow account
- Approved payment plan and project cost report
- Marketing materials for permit approval
Typical timeline
Initial RERA project approval runs in parallel with DLD registration; ongoing compliance is a continuous engagement for the life of the project.
Cost considerations
RERA charges registration and permit fees; our role is advisory and monitoring. We scope fees to your project size and needs.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Advertising without a valid marketing permit
- Escrow disbursements that do not match construction milestones
- Sales documentation that omits required consumer-protection terms

Frequently asked questions
Before launching, your project must be registered with RERA and the DLD, your escrow account must be open, and you must hold a valid marketing/advertising permit. Sales documents must comply with consumer-protection rules.
Yes. RERA can suspend sales, withhold permits and impose penalties on non-compliant developments, which is why ongoing compliance monitoring is essential.
