Buyer guidance
Should You Buy a Meraas Project?
Meraas is dependable, with caveats. Its weakest area is delivery record, so before booking, compare the promised and actual completion dates of its last few projects on the state RERA portal. Prefer construction-linked payment plans and check the project's RERA progress reports.
Check before you book
- RERA registration and quarterly progress for the exact project and tower you are buying.
- Credit ratings and company filings, because Meraas is privately held and does not publish audited results.
