Escrow amount may comprise the whole amount to be paid to the Seller by the Buyer under the Sales and Purchase Agreement or a part of it.

Escrow amount shall be disposed in the manner stipulated in the Escrow Account Agreement. The following options apply;

  • Paid to the Seller
    Within the time period stipulated under the Escrow Agreement upon presenting to the Bank the Buyer's ownership certificate to the subject property or one copy of the real estate notarized Sale and Purchase Agreement; or
  • Paid to the Buyer
    In case of the failure to present the mentioned documents to the Bank within the term set out under the Escrow Agreement, or in the event an original document issued by the State Committee of the Real Estate Cadastre on rejecting the Buyer's right to the Property arising out of and in connection with the Sale and Purchase Agreement is provided.
