Oqood registration, DLD milestones, and escrow release on one record
Off-plan compliance in Dubai is not complicated, but it is unforgiving: an Oqood registration that has not been completed blocks a payment-plan milestone, and an escrow draw raised ahead of certified progress is a regulatory problem rather than an accounting one. PropERP holds all three positions on the unit, so the compliance answer is a screen rather than an investigation.
Three positions that must always agree
Every off-plan unit carries three parallel positions. The registration position — has Oqood been completed, with which number, and was the 4% DLD fee split correctly. The collection position — which milestones have been invoiced, which have been received, and which are now collectable. And the escrow position — how much sits in the project trust account and how much has been released against certified progress.
In most developer operations these live in three places: a compliance folder, the finance system and a bank portal. They agree at the moment somebody reconciles them and drift immediately afterwards.
Holding them on the unit record removes the drift. A milestone cannot be marked collectable if its trigger has not occurred, and a draw cannot be raised beyond the certified percentage.
Registration, collection and escrow in one view
The three positions held against the same unit, so a compliance question is answered by opening a record rather than by reconciling three systems.

What is tracked
Milestone triggers
Each DLD payment-plan milestone knows what makes it collectable — SPA signing, Oqood completion, a certified construction stage, or the completion certificate.
Certified progress
Engineer-certified percentages recorded per project with their certificate reference, driving both collection and escrow release.
Escrow account position
Amounts held and released per project trust account, reconciled against the collection ledger rather than maintained separately.
Draw request control
A release cannot exceed what certified progress supports, which turns a compliance risk into a validation rule.
Audit trail
Every registration, certification and release carries who recorded it and when, which is what an audit actually asks for.
Questions answered without opening a folder
- Which units in this project are not yet Oqood-registered.
- How much DLD fee has been collected from buyers versus paid to the authority.
- Which milestones became collectable when the last certificate was issued.
- How much of the escrow balance is releasable today at current certified progress.
- Which draw requests are outstanding, and against which certified stage.
- For any unit: its registration, collection and escrow position in one view.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace the DLD or Oqood portal?
No. Registration is still done through the official channel; PropERP holds the resulting state — number, date, fee split — on the unit so it is connected to the payment plan and the escrow position rather than filed separately.
How does escrow release control work?
Certified construction progress is recorded per project with its certificate reference. Draw releases are validated against that figure, so a request cannot exceed what the certification supports.
Can it show DLD fee reconciliation?
Yes — the 4% fee, the split between developer and buyer, what has been collected and what has been remitted, per unit and aggregated per project.
Is RERA-compliant reporting included?
The underlying positions — registration, collection against plan, escrow held and released, certified progress — are all held in structured form and exportable. Statutory report formats are configured during implementation to match what your project's escrow bank and the authority request.
