Dubai Land Department issued directives limiting the number of brokers/agencies who can represent and list any particular property (typically those sold in the secondary market). From October 2022, any such listing can only have a maximum of three agents associated with any transaction.

These listings will have to feature permits that need to be taken in advance from the Land Department. The changes will effectively put a halt to more than three agents trying to sell a particular property. And once sold, within 7 days all listings will need to be removed ASAP.

There are two other circulars issued during August 2022:

1- Mandatory to have a digital form A to obtain permits for sales listing in Dubai (secondary off-plan and ready properties)

2- Requirement of brokerages  to remove listings within 7 days of being rented, sold or otherwise taken off the market

The above, along with all other Licensed Circulars issued by the DLD are accessible through the following link:
