The real estate support services system in Dubai continued to make significant strides throughout 2025, reflecting the advanced institutional maturity of the emirate’s property market. This progress reinforces Dubai’s reputation as one of the most transparent and well-organized real estate markets globally, driven by a growing demand for regulatory and technical services that enhance the accuracy of property transactions and reliability in dealings, keeping pace with the rapid growth of Dubai’s real estate sector.
This advancement is particularly evident in the expansion of property valuation activities, an increase in real estate permits, and the enhanced role of registration and real estate service offices, which serve as a professional interface that contributes to improving service efficiency for clients and investors.
Property Valuation
The valuation sector has continued to attract specialized talents, with the number of registered property valuers reaching 133 by the end of 2025, according to data from the Dubai Land Department. This figure highlights the growing importance of valuation as a fundamental element in investment and financing decisions. Additionally, the number of new valuers increased by 50% compared to 2024, rising to 33, which indicates an expanding base of technical expertise in this vital area. Concurrently, the number of registered property valuation offices reached 68, including 8 new firms, enhancing the market’s readiness to meet the rising demand for specialized valuation services.
In terms of advertising and promotional regulation, property permits experienced remarkable growth in 2025, with a 24% increase bringing the total to 26,044 permits. This surge reflects the vitality of the market and the diversity of real estate marketing tools within clear regulatory frameworks. The rise is attributed to the pivotal role played by the Dubai Land Department in regulating real estate advertisements and enhancing governance, through quality initiatives such as the “Real Estate Advertising Governance Platform,” which utilizes digital technologies and artificial intelligence to ensure the accuracy and credibility of advertising content, as well as compliance with established regulations across various channels.
Electronic advertisements topped the list of permits with 23,521 approvals, followed by outdoor advertisements, classified ads, vehicle ads, and billboards, in addition to permits for real estate events such as project launches, seminars, and open days. This trend indicates the diversity of communication and promotional channels that have adapted to consumer behavior.
Registration and Real Estate Services Network
The number of registration and real estate service offices increased to 32, marking a 14% growth, reflecting the expansion of the service network and improved access to services. Simultaneously, the number of transactions processed through these offices rose to 282,661, an increase of 5%, while the number of clients grew by 7% to reach 563,920 in 2025. This is a clear indication of the increasing reliance on these channels as an effective link between clients and the official real estate system.
Integrated System
This comprehensive performance highlights the transformation of real estate support services into a fundamental pillar for enhancing market efficiency, ensuring regulatory compliance, and bolstering investor confidence. It also underscores the Dubai Land Department’s commitment to continuously developing this system, improving service quality, and expanding its scope to align with the sustainable growth of the real estate sector, establishing a more flexible, transparent, and sustainable phase in the years to come.
