Abu Dhabi updates real estate rules

Abu Dhabi has introduced revised real estate regulations aimed at creating a more adaptable and investor-friendly environment. The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) announced the changes as part of the emirate’s broader strategy to position itself as a global hub for property investment.

Under the new framework, developers now have greater flexibility to terminate off-plan agreements, a move expected to reduce legal disputes and mitigate investment risks.

The regulations are designed to ensure balanced, transparent relationships between developers, investors, and property owners. The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre will play a key role in implementing the updated rules.
