This page describes the marketplace as it works today. The binding wording is being reviewed by NDC’s counsel: where this page and a signed contract disagree, the contract wins. None of this is legal, tax or investment advice.
01The price is in dirhams
Every listing carries its price in AED, and that is the contract price. A figure in digital assets is an equivalent read from a rate that carries an expiry: it is an indication, not a fixed price. When a rate is not known, nothing is shown rather than a made-up number.
02What “verified” means, and what it does not
A verified badge declares the scope and the date of the evidence behind it: who looked at the asset, what they saw and when. It is not an unconditional guarantee of title, of completion, of the condition of the building or of a rate.
03One buyer at a time
A unit can hold one active reservation at a time. While it is held, another buyer cannot hold it too.
04Identity first, then payment
The identity and the documents are reviewed by hand by NDC. Until that review is approved, no payment instruction is issued.
05A payment is not a sale until it is reconciled
A message from a payment provider does not complete a purchase on its own: the provider’s state and the conditions of the purchase are checked against each other first. An underpayment, an overpayment, a transfer on the wrong network, an expired quote or a duplicate is held as an explicit exception and looked at by a person. Nothing is resolved automatically.
06Ownership is claimed only when it exists
A portfolio shows a purchase as complete only after the authorised completion or registration event. Until then it is a reservation or a purchase in progress, and it says so.
07The title
Ownership transfers by registration with the Dubai Land Department in the buyer’s name. The deed is the legal instrument; nothing on this site transfers a title or promises one.
08What BlockEstate is not
Not a bank, a custodian, a broker or an auditor. The marketplace does not hold your digital assets or your dirhams, and the digital assets leg is collected on-chain by a payment layer that never takes custody of it.
09The price you accept does not move
The price and any discount you accept are fixed for that purchase. If the listing changes afterwards, your purchase is not changed by it.
10Your data
We collect what the identity check and the purchase need: your name, your contact details and the documents you send. They are reviewed by hand by NDC and kept with the record of the purchase. We do not sell them, and we do not use them for anything else. You can ask what we hold about you, and ask for it to be corrected or removed, by writing to the address on the contact page.
11Anything with a real effect needs a person
No automated system on this platform approves a developer, a listing, a price, an identity, a payment or the completion of a sale. Every consequential step has an authorised human behind it, and the reason is recorded with it.
