Freehold guide may clarify law
To assist buyers and clear any confusion over buying and registering land in Dubai, The Land Department has released a freehold guide, outlining an addition of specific zones where non-UAE residents can own freehold homes. This much needed Freehold Property Guide includes a full list and map of the designated freehold areas and also provides guidelines of the procedures buyers and sellers need to adhere to for property and mortgage registration.
The guide contains a checklist to provide all buyers with the essential steps in carrying out transactions and completing the paperwork. Other features include a directory of master developers and private developers and their freehold property projects.
