    What is the mandatory requirement for off-plan sale registration?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Article (3) of Law No. (13) of 2008 mandates that any disposition of a unit sold off-plan must be registered on the Interim Real Property Register. If a sale or transfer is not recorded in this register, it is legally considered null and void. This requirement ensures that the DLD has a formal record of every ownership interest from the moment a contract is signed, providing investors with legal protection against double sales or unauthorised transfers while the building is still under construction.
