    Must all off-plan sale contracts be in Arabic?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    According to RERA's regulatory framework, developers have a financial obligation to ensure that all Real Property Unit sale or reservation contracts are translated into Arabic. Failure to provide this mandatory translation results in an administrative fine of AED 100,000. This requirement ensures that legal documents are accessible within the Emirate's judicial system and that purchasers have a clear understanding of their rights and obligations in the official language of the state.
