Verify a Dubai property advert: Madmoun and broker checks

For a Dubai property advert, obtain the Madmoun QR code and advert permit identifier, open the official record and compare it with the offer. Separately look up the broker handling the transaction in Dubai Land Department’s register. Advert verification is a first step; the seller’s authority, contract and payment terms require further review.

The workflow below is an original buyer’s checklist that can be prepared from Hungary or elsewhere abroad. It does not certify any particular advert, person or investment. Its purpose is to attach a source, date and recorded next action to each checked claim.

DLD describes Madmoun as a QR code associated with advert permits issued through the Trakheesi system. Its advertising-governance notice says real estate companies must display the code in written and visual property adverts. The code enables checking the advert’s approval.

The advert permit concerns the advertisement; the broker register helps review the person involved. The title deed belongs to a separate check of the seller and unit details. Keep these on separate worksheet rows so that one successful lookup does not close every other question.

Keep the advert link or copy, check date, supplied permit identifier and the opened record’s link. DLD’s Madmoun notice highlights comparison of the advertising company, advert status, details and property value. Record the fields actually shown by the service; do not fill a missing field with an assumption.

For your comparison, check whether the advertiser matches, the details refer to the same property or project, and material advertised features agree with the available official record. Check permit validity and the displayed status too. DLD’s notice specifically stresses agreement between permit data and advertised information.

First establish whether the advert describes a specific unit or a project’s general offering. If the record is at project level, reconcile the selected unit’s identifier and terms against separate documents. Alongside any screenshot sent to you, open the official record yourself where possible, starting from an official DLD source.

DLD’s Licensed Real Estate Brokers service leads to the list of Dubai brokers licensed by RERA. Following Access this Service opens a search covering brokers, offices, mobile numbers, areas and ORN. It asks for at least two characters or digits.

Obtain the individual’s full name, company name and available registration identifiers. Reconcile the result against these details together; a similar name alone is insufficient. Establish separately which company will be the contracting party and in what capacity your contact is acting.

A registry match is not the same as authenticating a particular approach. You should be able to connect the supplied contact details, advert record and contractual information to the same party. If the match cannot be established, seek clarification through the company’s verified contact channel and keep the issue open.

If the QR code cannot be read, request a clearer copy and the permit identifier. If you find a different advertiser, property or status, record the discrepancy and request a documented explanation. If the service is unavailable, record that the check was not performed; do not mark a technical failure as a successful result.

A discrepancy alone does not establish fraud, but it is an issue to resolve. Request information that can be checked again rather than only verbal reassurance. Progress the offer when you or your appointed professional have verified that the material details agree.

For each offer, record six fields: 1. advert link and save date; 2. permit identifier and opened record; 3. advertiser and contact; 4. reconciled property or project details; 5. broker lookup source and result; 6. discrepancy, person responsible and next action. This is an original control worksheet, not an official certification.

Fictional example: the advert names Office A, while the record opened through the QR code shows Office B. Record this as an advertiser discrepancy requiring clarification. Obtain the correct information for that advert and an explanation of the parties’ relationship, then recheck. The offices in this example are not real client or business records.

After the advert and broker checks, obtain the specific offer, records needed to identify the seller or developer, and the reservation agreement. Establish in writing the payment’s purpose, recipient, property and refund conditions. Reconcile bank details separately against the transaction documents.

A valid advert permit does not rate the property as an investment or replace ownership, contractual or technical checks. For a completed unit, continue with the seller and ownership records; for a developing project, review project and payment-plan documents. Do not use the QR code as evidence of yield or future capital appreciation.

Is seeing the apartment on a large portal enough? Still perform the record checks described here. Is the advert identifier the same as the broker identifier? Document the checks separately and ask for the exact name of each number supplied. What if there is no match? First clarify the name and identifier; do not convert a missing result into licensed status.

Can the checks start from Hungary or abroad? Yes: the saved advert, permit information and broker lookup can form a list of open questions. After this remote preparation, still separately assess the actual unit, its documents and the transaction’s legal terms.
