Dubai Land Department and Emirates NBD Team Up to Improve Real Estate Transactions

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has signed an agreement with Emirates NBD to create a new system that will help improve how real estate transactions are handled in Dubai.

Partnership Goals

The two organizations will carry out two studies. The first study will look at better ways to register property deals made outside the UAE. The second will explore easier and more flexible financial options for registering property sales.

“This partnership is an important step in improving real estate registration services,” said Omar Hamad BuShehab, Director General of the DLD.

By working together, the government and banking sectors aim to support Dubai’s growing real estate market and adapt to changes in the industry.

This move also supports Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, which focuses on making the city a leading global center for property investment and modernizing its real estate services.

Real Estate Goals for 2033

Dubai’s Real Estate Strategy for 2033 aims to:

  • Double the sector’s contribution to the economy to around $19.9 billion (AED 73 billion)

  • Raise homeownership to 33%

  • Increase property transactions by 70%

  • Grow the total market value to $272 billion (AED 1 trillion)

Real Estate Growth in 2025

In the first half of 2025, Dubai saw:

  • 125,538 property transactions — up 26% from the same time in 2024

  • $117.4 billion (AED 431 billion) in transaction value — a 25% increase

  • 59,075 new investors, contributing $42.7 billion (AED 157 billion) — a 40% rise in investment value

  • 45% of these investors were UAE residents
