RERA Laws Every Dubai Property Buyer Should Know
If you’re planning to buy property in Dubai, you’ve likely heard of RERA — but what does it really mean for you as a buyer? Understanding the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) and its laws is essential to ensuring a smooth and secure property transaction.
🏛️ What Is RERA?
RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) is the regulatory arm of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), established to oversee, license, and regulate all real estate activities in Dubai.
🧾 Why RERA Was Created
-
To protect the rights of buyers, tenants, and investors
-
To promote transparency and trust in real estate deals
-
To ensure accountability from developers and brokers
📌 Key RERA Laws Buyers Should Know

Escrow Account Law
All payments for off-plan projects must be deposited into a RERA-approved escrow account — protecting your money until construction progresses. -
Developer Registration
Developers must be licensed by RERA before launching any project. -
Broker Licensing Law
Real estate brokers must be RERA-certified and listed in the Trakheesi system. -
Oqood System
Off-plan property sales must be registered in Oqood, ensuring legal documentation and buyer rights. -
