Where terms are capitalised in this Consultation Paper, they (unless context requires otherwise) should be taken to have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Strata Regulations. 

Who should read this paper? 

The proposals in this Consultation Paper would be of particular interest to developers, owners of commercial and residential units, real property professionals and buyers, and more generally to all individuals and organisations with a presence in the ADGM and their professional advisors. 

We also welcome feedback from other stakeholders, whether based in the ADGM or beyond. 

How to provide comments 

Comments must be submitted through ADGM Registration Authority’s Consultation Portal at https://raconsultations.adgm.com/. To submit feedback, individuals and entities are required to register for an account on the portal, which is a one-time process. 

Please note that comments submitted to ra.consultation@adgm.com may not be considered. The email address ra.consultation@adgm.com should only be used for portal-related issues, such as registration, account access, and technical difficulties. 

What happens next? 

The deadline for providing comments on this proposal is 22nd October 2026. 

Following receipt and review of any comments, consideration will be given to whether any modifications to the proposals are required, and the ADGM Board of Directors (“Board”) and the RA will then proceed to enact the proposals in their final form.
