    The Dubai Land Department acts as the regulator and guardian of real estate rights. They manage the escrow accounts where off plan funds are stored ensuring developers cannot misuse investor money. They also record all transactions to prevent fraud and manage the Oqood registration system. This robust regulatory framework gives international investors the confidence that their capital is safe and their ownership rights are legally protected by the government.
