Dubai Land Department, Emirates NBD Launch Joint Studies to Reform Property Registration
The agreement sets out a joint framework for regulatory and technical studies aimed at improving real estate transaction registration processes and strengthening the overall efficiency of the sector.
The partnership includes two studies.
The first will explore ways to optimise the registration process for real estate transactions completed outside the UAE.
The second will focus on the development of financial services that can support the registration of real estate sales.
These efforts are intended to improve customer experience and provide better support for investors throughout their property transactions.
Omar Hamad BuShehab, Director General of the Dubai Land Department, said:
'This partnership marks a significant step toward establishing a shared knowledge base that opens up new horizons for advancing real estate registration services, thereby further strengthening Dubai's position as a global destination for real estate investment. These efforts also align with the objectives of the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to build a resilient, competitive, and innovation-driven sector that reflects the emirate's status as a global leader in real estate.'
Hesham Abdulla Al Qassim, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Emirates NBD, said:
'Integrated offerings under this collaboration will help enhance the property transaction experience while building greater confidence among market participants, including investors, ensuring Dubai maintains its leadership position in the global real estate sector.'
The initiative is in line with the objectives of the D33 Economic Agenda, which aims to position Dubai among the world's top three economic cities.
It also reflects ongoing efforts to make the real estate market more attractive to international investors by providing a supportive regulatory framework, encouraging sustainable growth, and improving service delivery.

Dubai property brokers double earnings to $880m in first half of 2025
Dubai's real estate brokerages doubled their earnings to Dh3.23 billion ($879.5 million) in the first half of 2025, riding the momentum in the emirate's robust property sector. The 99.4 per cent year-on-year surge in earnings from Dh1.62 billion in the corresponding period of 2024 was driven by 42,181 transactions completed in the first half of the 2025, the Dubai Media Office said on in a statement on Sunday. More than 6,700 new brokers registered with the Dubai Land Department through the January-June period, boosting the total by nearly a third to more than 29,000, according to government statistics. 'Dubai's real estate brokerage sector recorded a remarkable performance in the first half of this year,' the DMO said. Dubai's property market, which bounced back strongly from the Covid-driven slowdown, has maintained a sharp growth trajectory since. Government measures such as residency permits for retired and remote workers and expansion of the 10-year golden visa programme have boosted foreign investment flows into the emirates property market over the past few years. The robust momentum in the UAE's economy, the Arab world's second largest, driven by the government's diversification efforts have also support the real estate market activity. This month, a new scheme was also launched to help Emiratis and UAE residents, who do not own any freehold residential property in the emirate, get on the property ladder. Under the initiative, first-time buyers will have priority access to new homes from participating developers as well as existing inventory, discounts or limited-time offers on the sales price of off-plan units, flexible payment plans and 'improved' mortgage options with better interest rates, faster approval times and reduced fees. The DLD expects 5,000 more investors to enter the market this year following the initiative. Last week, the DMO said that the volume and value of real estate transactions in Dubai rose sharply in the first half of the year, amid the entry of more than 59,000 new investors into the market, according to DLD data. In a recent report, property consultancy Knight Frank showed that more than 51,000 homes were sold in Dubai in the second quarter of 2025, which was a year-on-year increase of 22.8 per cent, marking a quarterly record amid strong demand from buyers. Total home sales surpassed 94,000, putting the market firmly 'on track to exceed' 169,000 transactions recorded in 2024, it added. On Thursday, Abu Dhabi's Masdar City and the DLD teamed up to , in a bid to boost real estate investment across the UAE.
