The signing ceremony was attended by the CEO of KHCB, Mr. Sattam Sulaiman Algosaibi and Dr. Maher   Abdulaziz Al Shaer, CEO of Diyar Al Muharraq.

Under this agreement, KHCB will act as the project's escrow agent, in order to protect the rights of buyers and investors.

We are working with a group of local developers to create escrow accounts that undoubtedly contribute to enhancing confidence in the real estate development market in Bahrain, in order to offer customers a smooth and convenient experience when applying for real estate financing. We have assigned a special unit to receive and complete applications, as well as a Relations Manager to each residential project in order to reduce application approval periods."

We are therefore pleased to commence our cooperative venture and look forward to reaping its fruits in the near future".
