  "account": "Saudi Arabia announced on Sunday the commencement of title registration for 36,000 properties in the Eastern Province and Hail, with a deadline of December. The General Real Estate Authority (AREA) revealed that this initiative will span until the end of December, after which fines will be imposed on owners who fail to register their properties. The registration process will commence on September 27 and conclude on December 31, 2026. In Eastern Province, neighborhoods such as Al-Khalidiyah, Al-Falah, Al-Sinaiyah, Al-Nakheel, Al-Shifa, Al-Mustashfa, Naif, Al-Izdihar, and others in Al-Mulijah governorate will be included in this phase. Another set of neighborhoods in Al-Qulaib, Al-Qaisumah, Hafar Al-Batin, and Al-Dhubaibah will also be registered. In Hail, parts of Al-Nakheel and Al-Andalus in Baqaa, along with other areas, will undergo registration. Additionally, Hail will witness registration in selected areas across Fayd and Al-Ajfar governorates. The AREA highlighted that neighborhoods were chosen based on specific criteria, with further areas and governorates to be announced in upcoming periods across the Kingdom. To register, property owners must have a valid ownership deed adhering to legal requirements. Initial registration will be accessible via the Real Estate Registry platform at https://rer.sa or at designated service centers. The registration process necessitates a valid ownership deed that satisfies legal standards. AREA urged property owners in the designated areas to validate their ownership deeds and ensure compliance with all registration prerequisites prior to registration. Inquiries regarding the registration process can be directed to the authority's official platforms or by contacting the customer service center at 199002. Post-registration, each property will be allocated a unique property number and a title deed, encompassing comprehensive details, descriptions, statuses, and rights and obligations associated with the property. This title will be tied to precise geographical coordinates. The primary objective of this title registration system is to enhance infrastructure and ensure the long-term viability of the real estate sector. Additionally, the initiative aims to bolster trust and transparency within the real estate market.",
