Buyer guidance
Should You Buy a Emaar Properties Project?
Emaar Properties's record is among the strongest we track, so the main questions for a buyer are price and location rather than delivery. Compare the quoted price per sq ft with similar projects nearby, and check the specific project's RERA timeline — even strong developers have occasional delays.
Check before you book
- RERA registration and quarterly progress for the exact project and tower you are buying.
- Its latest annual report — debt, cash flow and pre-sales — since Emaar Properties is listed.
- That 70% of buyer payments go into the project's separate escrow account, as RERA requires.
- Delivery record: compare the promised and actual completion dates of its last few projects on the state RERA portal.
