The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) has introduced digital registration for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) on off-plan property purchases through its Madhmoun platform, establishing a regulated structure aimed at enhancing investor protection and modernising transaction procedures across the emirate’s real estate market.
Through the new framework, EOI deposits will be placed in a government-supervised escrow account, ensuring greater regulatory oversight of funds while strengthening transparency and safeguarding investor capital in off-plan developments.
A senior ADREC official highlighted that balancing investor protection with the operational requirements of developers remains central to the sector’s evolution, noting that digitising the EOI process reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a trusted and secure real estate investment destination.
The authority further stated that transitioning to a fully digital process reduces risks associated with manual handling, enables streamlined refund mechanisms where applicable, and provides enhanced monitoring of transactions to better protect all stakeholders involved in off-plan investments.
