THE OQOOD-TO-TITLE-DEED MOMENT

Welcome back to The Title Deed Desk.

In our previous discussion, we established a simple principle: the property register is the official record of ownership, and the title deed reflects what appears in that register.

Today we look at one of the most important milestones in an off-plan property purchase — the moment an Oqood registration becomes a title deed.

As always, this is general educational information and not legal advice. Every project, developer, and sale agreement can differ, so owners should always confirm their own circumstances.

When you purchase an off-plan property in Dubai, you do not receive a title deed immediately because the property is still under construction. Instead, your interest is recorded in the interim real estate register through an Oqood registration.
