    What is the definition of Real Property?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Real Property refers to land and any fixed structures constructed on it that cannot be moved without damage. This includes buildings, villas, and apartments that are permanently annexed to the land. The legal definition is broad, covering everything from vacant industrial land to agricultural plots. This classification is fundamental because it determines which assets are subject to mandatory registration with the Land Department. It also sets the jurisdiction for rental disputes, mortgages, and jointly owned property management laws across the Emirate.
