What is 预留款项?
在成交时暂由第三方托管，待特定条件（如维修完成或许可证取得）满足后才向卖方支付的部分成交价款，用于保障买方在后续可能出现问题时的利益，常见于商业地产收购交易中。
Description
A holdback is a risk mitigation mechanism where a portion of funds due to one party is held in escrow until agreed-upon conditions are met. In real estate, holdbacks protect buyers from incomplete work, unresolved defects, or pending approvals. Common examples include retaining 5-10% of a contractor payment until snagging items are fixed.
In Dubai property transactions, holdbacks appear in several contexts: retention amounts in construction contracts (typically 5-10% held for 12 months post-completion), escrow holdbacks pending NOC issuance from developers, and service charge deposits held by owners' associations. The RERA escrow system itself functions as a large-scale holdback mechanism, releasing developer funds only as construction milestones are verified.
How to interpret
Always negotiate explicit holdback provisions in any real estate transaction where performance risk exists post-closing. Define the holdback amount, the specific conditions for release, the timeline, and where the funds are held. A vague holdback provision that lacks measurable release triggers invites disputes. Use an independent escrow agent rather than leaving funds with either party.
迪拜市场背景
In Dubai resale transactions, buyers should request holdbacks for any outstanding service charge arrears, pending NOC applications, or unresolved snagging items. The DLD facilitates manager cheques held in escrow for this purpose. A well-drafted MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between buyer and seller is the standard vehicle for agreeing holdback terms before proceeding to the final transfer.
