How the market reads by region

Property regulation in Dubai is emirate-led, not federal — Dubai's own Land Department registers title under its own Trakheesi permit system, and off-plan developments carry escrow rules on top of the base registration that Abu Dhabi and Sharjah structure differently. Estate Ulagam's review desk checks each emirate's own permit and title requirements before an advertisement goes live there.

Cross-Border Legal Briefing

Foreign Ownership & Non-Resident Acquisition in Dubai

Statutory Matrix

Under Dubai Law No. 7 of 2006, foreign nationals and non-residents can purchase freehold property only within designated Freehold Investment Zones (e.g., Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, DIFC, Business Bay). In non-freehold areas, foreign ownership is restricted to 99-year Usufruct (Musataha) leases. In Abu Dhabi, Law No. 19 of 2005 allows foreign ownership in designated Investment Zones (e.g., Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Al Reem Island) under freehold or 99-year usufruct.
