In Dubai’s real estate market, property size directly affects pricing, rental value, and ROI. To protect buyers and tenants, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has set strict guidelines on how property measurements should be calculated and presented.
At Dubai Property Snagging ®, we provide RERA-compliant property measurement services that ensure your property’s actual size matches the figures in your sales agreement or rental contract.
Why RERA Guidelines Exist
Dubai’s property market has seen disputes where the advertised size of a property did not match the actual usable area. To prevent overcharging and ensure transparency:
- RERA introduced standard measurement rules for developers and landlords.
- Buyers and tenants have the right to verify property size independently.
- Contracts must reflect accurate built-up or carpet area.
RERA Rules on Property Measurements
- Developers must disclose accurate built-up area (BUA).
- Carpet area should be clearly distinguished from total BUA.
- Balconies and terraces must be measured separately, not added into livable carpet area.
- Shared/common areas (lobbies, stairs, lifts) cannot be included in private property size.
- Disputes can be raised with RERA if the actual area is significantly less than what was promised.
Impact on Buyers
- Sale prices in Dubai are usually per square foot.
- If the property size is overstated, buyers may pay more than the true value.
- RERA allows buyers to challenge discrepancies with proof from a certified measurement report.
Impact on Tenants
- Rent is often quoted on total area, but usable carpet area may be much smaller.
- Tenants can use RERA-compliant measurements to negotiate rent or raise disputes if the contract is misleading.
