According to the Ajman Media Office, the legislation issued by Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Ruler of Ajman and Member of the UAE Supreme Council focuses on improving transparency and supporting sustainable real estate activity throughout the emirate.
Key Highlights of the New Real Estate Law
- The law applies to real estate located in areas specifically designated by the Ruler through special decree.
- It covers a range of land categories, including:
- Vacant land created through real estate contributions
- Older or dilapidated properties undergoing reconstruction
- Buildings still under construction
- The aim is to streamline regulations, protect investor rights, and make the real estate sector more attractive to both local and international buyers.
Why This Matters for the UAE Property Market
The announcement supports the UAE’s broader momentum in real estate, driven by government initiatives such as long-term residency programs, retirement visas, and incentives targeting global investors. Ajman’s updated legal framework aligns the emirate with these national efforts, ensuring it continues to appeal to property investors and developers looking for stable opportunities.
