Escrow Agent Dubai: Secure Property Escrow Services

Compton Conveyancing provides independent escrow agent services in Dubai, holding sale proceeds securely in a third-party account until a mutual transfer date is agreed. Working hand in hand with the Dubai Land Department, we add a layer of security to your property transaction that protects both buyer and seller.

How our escrow service works

Our escrow services suit clients without a UAE bank account, proceeds that need to be transferred overseas immediately, and funds that simply need to be kept secure until a transaction is finalised. We can also hold security deposits, commissions, and other transaction fees. As an independent escrow agent we act for the transaction, not either party, which is exactly what keeps the funds safe.

Secure escrow for buying and selling property in Dubai

From engagement and verification of funds through conveyancing, transfer of title at the Dubai Land Department, and release of funds on completion, we manage the full escrow workflow. Proceeds can be released overseas or in another currency, making our escrow service ideal for international buyers and sellers of Dubai property.

Why use an escrow agent for a Dubai property sale?

An escrow agent holds the sale proceeds in a secure, segregated third-party account until a mutual transfer date is agreed and every condition is met. We act for the transaction, not for either side, which protects both buyer and seller.

Can you hold funds if I do not have a UAE bank account?

Yes. Escrow suits clients without a UAE bank account, proceeds that need to be transferred elsewhere immediately, and funds that simply need to be kept secure until the transaction is finalised.

When are the funds released?

Only after title has transferred at the Dubai Land Department or trustee office and every agreed condition has been met. The proceeds are then released to the seller or directed elsewhere as instructed.

Can sale proceeds be sent overseas or in another currency?

Yes. Proceeds can be released overseas or in another currency, which makes escrow a good fit for international buyers and sellers.

What else can you hold in escrow?

Security deposits, commissions and the other fees involved in a real estate transaction.
