subject: Registering Property Purchased From A Dubai Property Developer [print this page] Property purchased from a Dubai property developer requires to be registered at the office of Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) following well-documented guidelines. Usually, a property developer would himself help in registering the property in the name of the purchaser. However, there are times when the purchaser might wish to oversee the process in person or appoint a registered broker as a buying agent to help in the act.
