RERA Ejari System & DLD Procedures 2

Question 1

What is the DLD's 'Real Estate Self Transaction' (REST) platform?

Accepted Answer

DLD's digital platform allowing buyers, sellers, and brokers to complete property transactions online without visiting DLD offices

Answer

REST (Real Estate Self Transaction) is DLD's digital transformation initiative enabling end-to-end property transactions digitally — from listing to title deed transfer — without physical DLD office visits. It connects buyers, sellers, brokers, banks, and courts in one platform.

Question 2

What is the DLD 'Mashrooi' service?

Accepted Answer

DLD's service allowing buyers to track the progress of registered off-plan construction projects

Answer

Mashrooi (meaning 'my project' in Arabic) is DLD's off-plan project tracking service that provides buyers and brokers with real-time information on construction progress, escrow balances, and project status for registered off-plan developments. It is a buyer transparency tool.

Question 3

What is the Dubai Brokers' 'Activity Permit' (Taawun) in the context of real estate advertising?

Accepted Answer

A RERA-issued permit required to advertise a specific property listing, obtained through the Trakheesi system

Answer

Before a licensed broker can legally advertise a specific property, they must obtain an advertising Activity Permit through RERA's Trakheesi system for that specific listing. The permit number must appear in all advertisements. This prevents unauthorized advertising and duplicate listings.

Question 4

How does the DLD handle property registration for non-resident foreign buyers who cannot visit Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Through a properly legalized Power of Attorney, allowing a local representative to complete the registration on their behalf

Answer

Non-resident foreign buyers can purchase Dubai property through a duly legalized Power of Attorney. The POA must be notarized in the buyer's home country and either apostilled or attested by the UAE Embassy, then authenticated in Dubai. The attorney-in-fact appears at DLD on the buyer's behalf.

Question 5

What is the 'Dubai REST' app's primary function for real estate brokers?

Accepted Answer

Complete sale, lease, and transfer transactions, verify listings, check property ownership, and manage broker activities on mobile

Answer

The Dubai REST app (DLD's smart app) allows brokers to verify property ownership, generate NOC requests, access listing permits, initiate transfer transactions, check title deeds, and manage their RERA-licensed activities. It centralizes multiple DLD services in one mobile interface.
