Who registers the sale in Abu Dhabi

A sale in Abu Dhabi is registered with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre, which sits within the Department of Municipalities and Transport, and most of the paperwork is handled through the TAMM portal. Where a non-citizen may buy is set by law and is narrower than in Dubai, so confirm the area before you confirm the price.

The calculator below pre-fills nothing. What ADREC charges, and what it is charged on, is Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre’s to publish and ours to link to.
