ADGM Launches ‘Real Estate Advertising Permit’ Service with Madhmoun

Abu Dhabi, UAE – August 22, 2025 - The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, has announced the launch of its new ‘Real Estate Advertising Permit’ service through the AccessRP platform.

The service, introduced by ADGM’s Registration Authority (RA), will require all property adverts within ADGM’s jurisdiction to obtain an official permit before publication. The initiative is part of ADGM’s commitment to reduce fake listings, strengthen market oversight, and boost investor confidence in Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector.

Strengthening Transparency and Investor Confidence

The service has been developed in collaboration with the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) and the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC). It builds on the Madhmoun initiative, launched earlier this year as the UAE’s first-ever Multiple Listing Service (MLS) platform.

By integrating Madhmoun with the Advertising Permit system, ADGM aims to not only regulate advertising but also provide a trusted, internationally recognised platform that empowers real estate aggregators, elevates market standards, and ensures authentic advertising practices.

Available Across ADGM Jurisdiction

The Advertising Permit service is now live on the AccessRP platform and has been fully implemented across ADGM’s jurisdiction, covering both Al Maryah Island and Al Reem Island.

ADGM highlighted that this step reinforces its position as a leading regulator committed to advancing governance, transparency, and investor protection in Abu Dhabi’s property market.
