Dubai REST App by DLD: Complete Guide to Services & Online Registration
Launched in 2018, the Dubai REST app is a comprehensive smart solution that offers a wide variety of real estate services. Let’s take a closer look at how to use the Dubai REST app and the services it has to offer.
ABOUT DLD REST APP
The introduction of the Dubai REST app by the Dubai Land Department has consolidated all Dubai real estate sector transactions into a unified platform.
‘REST’ stands for “Real Estate Self Transaction”. The name is self-explanatory as it allows users in Dubai to conduct real estate transactions round-the-clock with multiple stakeholders.
The Dubai REST app allows complete digital management of real estate transactions, which reduces the time spent on certain procedures and eliminates paperwork in line with Dubai’s green initiative.
The platform has also evolved to offer enhanced digital services including rental contract management, property status enquiries, real estate market insights and a digital real estate wallet that allows users to view property values, rental returns and service charges.
