The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre has announced the launch of a new digital feature enabling the registration of preliminary purchase requests for off-plan real estate units through the Madhmoun Platform, which specializes in multiple real estate listing services. This step comes as part of the centre’s efforts to enhance transparency and regulate the real estate market in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
This announcement coincides with the launch of the “Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana” project, developed by Ohana Development, becoming the first project to allow clients to fully register their preliminary interest electronically through the platform.
According to the approved mechanism, digital registration has become mandatory for all developers in new projects, with applications submitted exclusively via the “Madhmoun” platform. This direction aims to unify procedures while strengthening governance and regulatory standards.
The centre will directly oversee the process, with funds related to purchase requests deposited into preparatory escrow accounts. This provides an additional layer of security for investors and increases confidence in off-plan sales transactions.
The new system represents a tangible shift compared to traditional practices, establishing a modern regulatory framework aligned with international best practices while safeguarding the rights of all stakeholders throughout the purchasing stages.
For his part, Sultan Al Mamari, Acting Executive Director of the Real Estate Regulatory Sector at the centre, stated that this initiative forms part of a comprehensive strategy to develop Abu Dhabi’s real estate market and accelerate digital transformation that contributes to policy modernization.
He added that the “Madhmoun” platform has already made a clear positive impact on the local market, emphasizing that digitizing the preliminary request registration process strengthens Abu Dhabi’s position as a preferred destination for living and long-term investment.
