The escrow process can vary. We outline some of the key stages that a typical escrow process would follow (for example, in the real estate space).
Developer, Funder and Escrow Agent agree to a set of conditions to be set out in what is called ‘the Escrow Agreement’. These protect all parties and offer payment security (guarantee of payment)
Funder’s money is held in an independent account by M&G Trustee Company Limited (MTCL). Both Funder and developer are protected.
As each pre-agreed condition is reached, MTCL receives the required drawdown notice. Once verified, the funds are released.
Once the final conditions of agreement are met then the balance of funds are released and the agreement is terminated.
