Authorities Strengthen Oversight of Real Estate Transactions

The UAE government has warned citizens and investors about a rise in fraudulent schemes involving property rentals and purchases. Special attention is being paid to private listings and unlicensed intermediaries.

How Scammers Operate

• Fraudsters post ads with attractive prices and photos of properties that don’t exist.
• They request advance payments and disappear after receiving the money.
• They use unverified platforms without registration or official data checks.

How to Avoid Losses

To protect yourself, the authorities recommend:

• Conducting transactions only through licensed real estate agencies;
• Verifying property registration with the Dubai Land Department or equivalent registries;
• Ensuring the contract is officially registered.

Why It Matters

Fraud undermines confidence in the real estate market and can lead to serious financial losses. For investors, this poses a risk of losing capital or facing lengthy legal proceedings.

What This Means for the Market

Enhanced regulation and public awareness are improving transparency and investor protection. Such measures strengthen the UAE’s reputation as a safe and well-regulated investment destination.
