What Is Real Estate Due Diligence in Dubai?

Real estate due diligence in Dubai is a systematic legal check of the property title, ownership, encumbrances and compliance done before a transaction completes.

Law No. 7 of 2006, due diligence through the Dubai Land Department records and other sources confirms the seller’s ownership and discloses mortgages, court orders, or unpaid service charges. Verification requires proper documentation because the DLD property register is not publicly accessible.

We identify risk early through our due diligence. Dr Hassan Elhais, Senior Legal Consultant, says a title search at the DLD is the most important step a buyer can take to protect themselves before any funds change hands.

• Title and ownership verification
• Checks for mortgages, encumbrances, and court orders
• Outstanding service charges and developer standing

Thorough checks are the buyer's best protection.
