Al Qudsi pointed out the optimism towards the real estate market in Abu Dhabi, with the issuance of the regulating law for the real estate sector in Abu Dhabi. The law works on setting up a record for real estate development to save all data and documents related to real estate development projects and the introduction of «The Project Insurance Account».
The law also regulates and formalizes the authorized individuals such as the developers, brokers and employee broker and the seller at the auction and resident and surveyor, and rights and obligations between them.
The law will address the issue of selling on the chart, and through the introduction of record system called «Real Estate ID», in which all actions that respond to the real estate units sold are recorded on the chart.
