“Oqood” is a term you’ll encounter when buying off-plan property — but what exactly does it mean?
Oqood is a registration certificate issued by the Dubai Land Department. It acts as a pre-title deed, proving your ownership of a unit that’s still under construction.
Here’s why it matters:
- It legally confirms your purchase
- You need it to resell your off-plan property before handover
- It’s required by most banks to finance off-plan purchases
- It protects you under RERA regulations
Your developer is responsible for applying for and issuing the Oqood on your behalf, and it must be registered within 60 days of signing your sales agreement.
