Dubai: Dubai’s estate agents will need to pre-verify all ownership details of a property they are handling via the Land Department’s app, according to a new circular issued by the government entity. They must go through these steps before performing any real estate sale or rental transaction. The app can be downloaded from Android’s Play Store or Apple’s App Store. The circular was issued as part of efforts to establish a “framework which provides a safe environment for all parties in the real estate market”, the Land Department said in a statement. “It is the responsibility of registered brokers to preserve the rights of all customers and investors, by verifying ownership data before performing any sale or rental transaction,” said Ali Abdullah Al Ali, Director of Real Estate Licensing Department.
