    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Under Article (2) of Law No. (6) of 2019, a Unit is defined as any flat, shop, office, warehouse, or floor that constitutes part of a Jointly Owned Real Property. This definition extends to townhouses, independent houses, or even whole or parts of land plots intended for residential, commercial, or industrial use. Each unit is intended for individual ownership, granting the owner specific rights over the internal area and non-support internal walls, while sharing ownership of the building's structural components.
