On-the-Spot Property Registration Introduced by Dubai Land Department

A new move has been involved which will allow all property transactions to be completed in a secure and successful manner in the most dynamic Dubai real estate markets. The Land Department of Dubai has announced the introduction of on the spot property registrations. The Director General of the Land Department Sultan Bin Butti Bin Mejren has announced the initiative which signals a technologically advanced approach in order to register and protect property interests within the emirate.

During the launch ceremony of this advanced system he further said, “Today has seen the immediate activation of the technological infrastructure stage which will support the new advanced services and electronically integrate processes as diverse as registration, pre-registration, escrow accounts and a state-of-the-art e-services system.”

He added: “This will take the Department significantly closer to the stage where it will be able to offer one of the most advanced systems for registering and regulating land and property transactions. It moves land and property ownership in Dubai into a new era in which coherent strategy and planning results in joined-up access and protection of owners' interests. One of the most important aspects of this 'services-led initiative' is that it integrates registration with procedures such as licensing the brokers who sell the property and even with the trust accounts through which funding for its construction is channeled.”

This announcement was made after the completion of the first phase of the implementation of their new system after it has been tested for four weeks. A two year review and implementation programme is further followed which has already taken this technological system to an advanced level. The IT Director at the Land Department, Mr. Khalifa Al Suwaidi said, “We are moving towards a range of new online options that will transform land transactions in Dubai.”

He further added, “Today's activation means we have taken the critical step which will enable the Land Department to offer online services as standard. The motivation and rationale behind this initiative were guided by our experience of the market and the requirements of those involved in buying and selling property. The market has changed dramatically in the past five years so our starting point had to be different and our response pitched at a different level.”
