What is Escrow?

Escrow refers to a contractual arrangement where an impartial third party, known as an escrow provider, safeguards funds or property during a transaction. The escrow provider holds these assets until all agreed-upon terms and conditions have been satisfied. Once the required conditions are met, the escrow provider releases the funds or property to the designated party.

This type of service is highly versatile and can be applied to various situations where financial assets or property are exchanged between parties.

How does Escrow work – A 5 step guide

Noble Escrow Ltd acts as an independent party in an agreement. This means that Noble Escrow holds and regulates the funds of the transaction until the conditions set out in the escrow agreement have been met.

1 – Agreement Between Client and Customer

Both parties reach a mutual agreement on the transaction details. Noble Escrow will prepare a customised escrow agreement that outlines the specific terms and conditions for releasing the funds. After having had advice, the parties agree on the precise terms that define the required performance and conditions for the release of the Escrow funds.

2 – Customer Transfers Funds to Noble Escrow

The customer transfers the agreed payment to Noble Escrow using an approved method. The payment is verified, and both parties are notified once the funds have been securely deposited into the escrow account.

3 – Client Delivers Goods or Services

The client fulfills their part of the agreement by delivering the agreed goods or services to the customer in accordance with the terms of the contract.

4 – Customer Confirms Receipt

The customer inspects and accepts the goods or services provided by the client. Proof of completion is documented, ensuring the agreed terms have been met.

5 – Funds Released to Client

Noble Escrow releases the funds from the escrow account to the client after confirming that all conditions outlined in the escrow agreement have been satisfied. If a dispute arises at the time of release, the escrow provider’s role is limited to holding the funds until the issue is resolved and the agreed conditions are fulfilled.
