The Encumbrance Certificate of Property is a fundamental document in UAE real estate transactions, required by various stakeholders to verify the legal status and any existing claims or restrictions on a property. This certificate is mandated by UAE federal property laws and specific emirate regulations, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It provides crucial information about mortgages, liens, legal claims, development restrictions, and other encumbrances that may affect the property's title or usage. The document is typically required during property sales, mortgage applications, legal due diligence, and other significant property transactions. Its contents are verified and certified by the relevant land department or municipality, making it a reliable source of information about the property's current legal obligations and restrictions.
