What Is a Property Status Inquiry?

Verify Real Estate Ownership Before Signing a Deal

Property status inquiry is an official check of real estate ownership and registration status in Dubai. The service is based on data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and confirms who legally owns a property and whether it is registered in their name.

This verification is essential when purchasing, leasing, investing, or conducting legal due diligence on a property. It helps prevent fraud, ownership disputes, and transactions involving unregistered real estate.

Clients can request this inquiry through EGSH, an authorised Trustee Centre, with full legal support. EGSH provides fast access to official DLD records and assists in identifying property details if the client does not have complete information.

How can I find the owner of a property in Dubai before completing a transaction?

Legal ownership of a property in Dubai can only be confirmed through an official Property Status Inquiry, issued by the DLD. This service can be accessed via the DLD website, the Dubai REST app, or in person at an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee. To process the inquiry, you will need to provide key details such as the property’s area, name, and land number. The issued record is considered the sole legally valid proof of ownership. At EGSH, clients benefit from secure access to DLD systems, expert document verification, and the completion of the inquiry in a single visit.

Can I conduct a property status inquiry without the owner’s consent?

Under the DLD regulations, a property status inquiry may be requested without the consent of the property owner. The service is designed to provide transparency in real estate transactions by allowing prospective buyers, investors, and other interested parties to confirm the registered legal ownership before entering into any agreement.

What details are required to check property status in Dubai through EGSH?

To check property ownership, the client must provide the property’s area name and plot number. Additional information, such as the plot number, Makani number, Title Deed number, or project/building name (if available), can help identify the correct property more efficiently. EGSH specialists assist in locating or confirming these details if only partial information is available.

How to find the plot number in Dubai if only the location or project name is known?

If you do not know the plot number, you can identify it using the tools provided by the DLD, such as the Dubai REST app or the map services on the DLD website. You can search for related land and plot details by entering the location or project name. EGSH specialists will help you identify the correct property details and ensure that the property ownership check is legally accurate and fully compliant with DLD procedures.

Where to find the Title Deed number in Dubai if the physical document is missing?

If the original title deed is missing, it can be retrieved through the DLD by submitting a request via the Dubai REST app or by visiting a DLD service centre. The request must include property-related details, such as the area, land number or plot number, to help locate the relevant record. EGSH provides personalised assistance in recovering the Title Deed number by accessing the official DLD records based on the available information.

What information can be confirmed through a Dubai Land Department ownership inquiry?

A property status inquiry with the DLD provides official confirmation of the key details from Dubai’s property ownership records. These include:

— The registered legal owner of the property
— Ownership status and confirmation of registration with DLD
— Basic property information, such as land number and area
— The date of the most recent registration or update, where applicable

It is important to note that this service doesn’t disclose financial encumbrances, such as mortgages, or any ongoing legal disputes.

Can a third party verify ownership?

The property status inquiry service is publicly accessible and does not require proof of ownership or a power of attorney. Any individual or legal entity — including third parties such as buyers, brokers, or legal advisors — can verify property ownership using the area and land number. In some cases, the DLD may require additional information, such as the title deed number, plot details, or other property identifiers, to complete the verification accurately.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏
