Running a property portfolio in Doha
The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat) regulates the sector, and leases are registered online with the Ministry of Municipality. RealMake keeps the registration reference on each let unit so the rent roll lines up with registered contracts. Non-Qatari ownership is allowed only in designated areas, with a list of ten updated in June 2026 that includes Lusail, The Pearl and West Bay, so RealMake can tag each asset by whether it sits in one. Qatar has no VAT yet. If Qatar introduces VAT, the system can switch it on for the asset types your tax advisor specifies.
