Real Estate Law
Real Estate Law
in the UAE
Comprehensive legal support for UAE real estate — property transactions, RERA compliance, developer disputes, off-plan purchases, and landlord-tenant matters.
Real Estate Law in the UAE
Real estate law in the UAE operates across a dynamic legal framework combining UAE Civil Code provisions and emirate-specific regulations — most notably Dubai Law No. 7 of 2006 (Real Property Law), RERA regulations, and Abu Dhabi Law No. 3 of 2005. Foreign ownership is permitted in designated freehold areas across all Emirates, making real estate one of the UAE’s most legally active sectors.
At Nexus & Partners Legal Consultancy, we provide comprehensive real estate legal services to buyers, sellers, developers, investors, landlords, and tenants across the UAE. Our real estate law team navigates the full spectrum of property legal matters — from conveyancing and SPA review through to RERA complaints, developer disputes, and rental committee proceedings.
