    Must subdivision or amalgamation be recorded in the Register?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, the law is very clear that any subdivision or amalgamation of Real Property Units must be officially registered in the Real Property Register to be legally valid. This ensures that the DLD�s records accurately reflect the current physical and legal status of all property in the Emirate. Without this registration, the new units created by subdivision or the single unit created by amalgamation may not be recognized for future sales, mortgages, or other legal dispositions, potentially causing significant legal and financial issues for the owners.
