    What role does a broker play in off-plan simple contracts?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Brokers are strictly prohibited from concluding simple contracts for the off-plan sale of units in projects that have not been approved by Competent Entities. Any contract signed before such approval is obtained is legally null and void. This regulation prevents brokers from marketing "phantom" projects and ensures that every deal they facilitate is backed by a project that has met all technical and financial requirements established by the Land Department.
