The UAE government has recently changed Dubai's property rules. As a result, more and more individuals are learning how appealing it is to own residential and investment properties in the state.
Beginning in 2001, there was a substantial shift in the Dubai real estate market. The Dubai government has granted 99-year leases on flats and villas to overseas investors and purchasers. His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the reigning ruler of Dubai, decided to let foreigners to invest in Dubai real estate as a full possession in May 2002.
A system of laws and rules governing real estate investment in Dubai are in place to safeguard the interests of international investors.
The UAE Civil Code (Law No. 5 of 1985), which governs civil transactions, has several real estate-related rules. Private property is protected by the UAE Constitution, and each Emirate in the UAE has developed its own rules governing property ownership. There are certain "free zones" in the Emirates that are permitted to enact their own rules and regulations.
Department of Land and Property in Dubai (DLD)
The Department of Land and Property in Dubai (DLD) organizes and promotes real estate investments while creating the required legislation for the growth of Dubai's real estate industry. It was established in May 1960 with the intention of building the most well-known real estate industry. Through its own active sectors, the Department of Land and Property looks for local and international real estate innovation.
It comprises:
The real estate registration trustee centers
With the particularly developed Al Taboo system, all rights to land are recorded and maintained. The registration, primary register, trust accounts, and confirmation of property owners' rights are its four subsystems.
Management and Promotion Centre for Real Estate Investment. DLD intends to assist domestic and foreign real estate investment firms and create an environment that is favorable to such investments.
When registering with DLD and RERA, Emirates Real Estate Solutions (ERES) attempts to find options for the e-real estate sector based on real estate experience.
Center for Rental Disputes (RDC). It is an online rental litigation that provides a totally automated litigation monitoring programme, from online registration to online auditing to payment processing to online archiving, enabling all parties to access all relevant documents whenever they want.
His Highness Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, enacted Law No. 7 (2013) outlining the objectives of DLD as the government agency in charge of registering, coordinating, and marketing real estate investments in Dubai in 2013. Given this key sector's pivotal role in the local economy, the legislation was intended to foster an environment that is appealing to investors by following worldwide standards.
