Match the advertised name to an official project record

Ask for the registered project name, project number and plot information. Dubai Land Department’s Project Status Enquiry accepts a project name, number or land number and provides project details and completion information.

Compare the official record with the developer’s quotation. Keep the tower, phase and unit number clear: similar marketing names can describe different releases. Record the date of each check so a previous update is not mistaken for today’s construction status.

Check the advertiser as well as the development

Use DLD’s Verify License and Permits service to check the supplied licence or permit. DLD also explains that the Madmoun advertising QR code links buyers to authorised advertisement details.

Request the responsible company’s details and a quotation for the actual unit. Compare the permitted advertisement with what you were sent. An attractive brochure, a portal listing and an advertisement check each provide different evidence; keep the exact contract and unit details in your review.
