Dubai and Ajman to merge property database

[LahoreEstate]

The property watchdogs in Ajman and Dubai have got together to identify the blacklisted developers and agents, and hence have agreed to co-ordinate data in both emirates.

An MOU to this effect was signed between ARRA (Ajman Real Estate Regulatory Agency) and Dubai's RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency).

The Chief of Dubai RERA, Marwan bin Ghalita, said that "We will share the same database of agents and developers. If any developer is blacklisted in Dubai, it will also be reflected on their database, and they will be aware of it."

This move follows receipt of complaints that estate agents were working in both emirates, but have been registered with only one.

"We will regulate this kind of activities between the agents too. The establishment of common database will give developers and regulators and investors a clear picture of the market" Ghalita said.

The database will be made available online for people to view. The database is almost ready and will be released soon, said Omar al Barguthi, Head of ARRA.
