The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department (SRERD) announced the launch of the upgraded version of its website (www.shjrerd.gov.ae), in a step aimed at enhancing the quality of real estate services and offering a fully integrated digital experience for all customers.

The new website features a modern interactive design that keeps pace with the digital transformation and meets the needs of investors and stakeholders in the real estate sector in the emirate with the highest levels of efficiency and ease.

It serves as a practical translation of the Sharjah Government’s vision and directives to deliver smart, advanced services that enhance the attractiveness of the real estate market and support a sustainable investment environment.

Providing Smart and Flexible Real Estate Services

In this context, Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, said: “The upgraded website represents a new milestone in our journey toward full digital transformation. It reflects our commitment to providing smart and flexible real estate services that meet the aspirations of various categories of clients—including individuals, real estate developers, companies, homeowners’ associations, banks, and others—which reinforces Sharjah’s position as a leading real estate hub in the region”.

For her part, Salwa Al-Mahri, Director of IT Department, stated: “The comfort and satisfaction of our clients are among our top priorities.”

“We strive to provide information and channels to access and obtain services around the clock, with high quality, minimal effort, and in the shortest time possible.”

She also noted that: “The new version of the website includes a wide range of enhanced updates and new visual elements that make optimal use of the latest web technologies.”

“It also enables users to easily view the latest news, initiatives, projects, events, and activities implemented by the Department, contributing to strengthened communication between the Department and clients both within and outside the UAE”.

The new website offers a comprehensive range of digital services categorised according to user type, ensuring their needs are met efficiently and conveniently.

For example, for real estate developers, services include project registration, initial sales contract certification, project tracking, and requests to form homeowners’ associations.

Moreover, and for homeowners’ associations, available services include administrative supervision company registration, issuance of board registration certificates, approval of service and maintenance fee declarations, and complaint submission.

Additionally, government entities can access property ownership report services, while individuals can benefit from ownership services, issuance of replacement title deeds, valuation, and ownership data updates.

As for the banks, they are provided with specialised services such as mortgage registration, release, increase, and amendment—contributing to a seamless, integrated digital experience for all stakeholders in the real estate sector.

This upgrade is part of the ongoing development journey led by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department to solidify the emirate’s status as an attractive investment destination built on trust, technological advancement, and innovation—fully aligned with the vision of the Sharjah Government to promote innovation and digital transformation across all sectors.

Meanwhile the emirate recorded strong performance in its real estate sector during May 2025, with total trading value of Dhs5.5 billion across 8,415 transactions in various areas of the emirate.

The total traded area of sales transactions reached 13.2 million square feet, which reflects the continued strength and strategic development of the emirate’s real estate market.

The real estate sector in Sharjah is undergoing a strategic transformation, marking a clear shift from traditional growth patterns toward a more advanced, diversified, and sustainable phase. This evolution is reflected in the rising range of investors and the increasing variety of real estate uses entering the market.

Underlying this transition is the growing maturity of the sector, driven by a combination of key enablers — most notably, the government’s proactive vision to enhance the business environment and the implementation of flexible, investor-friendly legislation. These reforms are designed to keep pace with dynamic market needs, offering both confidence and strong legal assurances to local and international stakeholders.

At the same time, balanced urban expansion, along with ambitious development projects being implemented across the emirate, has helped reshape the real estate landscape in a more comprehensive and diverse manner. This trend has created new investment opportunities, supported by modern infrastructure and promising areas that are witnessing increasing interest from investors and developers.
