The valuation is handled through Dubai REST, and starts with establishing the type of user, determining the means of entry, submitting the ID number, and receiving an SMS with the verification number. Once all the data of the owner and that of the owned real estate appears, the user selects the property to be valuated for its data to be displayed.

All documents required should be submitted and the fees can be paid through the 'Noqodi' wallet. A confirmation of the payment process will be generated that concludes with the delivery of the valuation certificate.

The initiative uses artificial intelligence and will simplify procedures and reduce time taken to implement the process, the government entity said in a statement. The apartment-focussed smart valuation was launched in September last, and has since taken in 1,700 units.
