Dubai: Dubai is taking new steps to make real estate registrations simpler and faster for investors, both locally and abroad. A new partnership between the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Emirates NBD aims to streamline property registration procedures and offer easier access to financial services tied to real estate transactions.

The agreement, formalised through a memorandum of cooperation, is part of broader efforts to improve the customer experience and reinforce Dubai’s appeal as a leading real estate investment hub.

As part of the deal, DLD and Emirates NBD will conduct two studies focused on:

Improving registration for real estate deals made outside the UAE
Developing new financial services that ease the property registration process

Officials said the partnership supports the goals of the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 and the D33 Economic Agenda, both of which aim to boost competitiveness, transparency, and innovation in the property sector.

“The goal is to simplify procedures, enhance trust, and strengthen Dubai’s global reputation as a real estate destination,” DLD said in a statement.

The partnership is also expected to contribute to Dubai’s digital transformation in real estate services, creating a more efficient and investor-friendly environment.
