Ruwais Real Estate Development Company has reminded residents of the central Jeddah district that they have until the end of the year to present their property ownership deeds to the company. “There are approximately 2,800 properties in the Al-Ruwais development zone, and over 1,000 of them do not have legal title deeds,” said Abdullah Al-Solaiman of Al-Ruwais Real Estate's Development Works and Marketing Department. “Most of them are small properties and they constitute no more than 30 percent of the zone's area.” Residents who are unable to provide title deeds for their homes, Al-Solaiman said, would be able to present other forms of proof of ownership, such as electricity bills, a copy of national identity documents, or documents demarcating the site. “The identification of sites will be completed by aerial photography, with the subsequent information being passed on to the Jeddah Urban Development Company,” he said. “Once owners fulfill the various conditions they will be compensated in accordance with the law in the same way as other owners.”
