Dubai Land Department transaction register, records through 8 September 2026. Recomputed on every page load.
The Land Department keeps separate registers for 52|42 Tower 1 and 52|42 Tower 2, and this page covers 52|42 Tower 1 only. Every figure on it comes from that register.
There are no studios on this register. Two-bedroom apartments are the largest tier, with one-bedroom and three-bedroom tiers either side, and four-bedroom apartments have changed hands only rarely. The register holds both off-plan registrations and completed apartments changing hands, and the register-mix line on this page states the split. Its first recorded sale dates from 2016. Each row in the table is priced on the most recent period that holds enough of its own sales — the last four months first, then the last twelve months, the last three years or the whole record — and names the period it uses, so two rows side by side can describe different stretches of the market.
Every figure is computed from the Land Department register at the moment you load the page, four-month window first. These are recorded sale prices, not asking prices.
52|42 Tower 1 sale prices by bedroom
Median recorded prices for 52|42 Tower 1 by bedroom count. Each row is priced on the last 4 months wherever that period holds enough sales, and steps back only as far as it has to — 12 months, then 3 years, then the whole record. The period each row actually covers is named beside it, with the number of sales behind it, so you can see exactly how thin or deep the figure you are reading is. Every row also shows what has traded in the last 4 months, including when that is nothing — set against the full record of 515 recorded transactions. These are the prices buyers actually paid — not asking prices, and not a district average.

A bedroom type with fewer than five recorded transactions keeps its count and loses its median: below that sample a middle value is arithmetic, not a market rate. A median taken across the whole register mixes prices from every year the building has traded, so each row above is priced on the most recent period that clears that threshold. Rows can sum to less than the building total — very large units are held out of the table for the same reason.

Why below-market resale shows up in 52|42 Tower 1
- Rental arithmetic. Where a one or two-bedroom apartment has been bought as a rental, it tends to be sold when the rent no longer covers the service charge and any mortgage, whatever the market is doing.
- A thin market for the largest apartments. Four-bedroom units change hands only rarely here, and a seller of a rarely traded unit who needs to move quickly has few recent sales to price against and usually fewer buyers to negotiate with.
- Running costs. In Dubai the service charge is set per building and charged by floor area, and it falls due whether or not the unit is let, so a rise or a vacant spell pushes a marginal owner toward selling.
- Loan pressure. An owner whose mortgage repayments have become hard to meet often has to sell on the lender's timetable rather than the market's.

- Confirm the tower number before comparing prices. 52|42 Tower 1 and 52|42 Tower 2 are separate Land Department registers, and a price quoted for '52|42' without the tower number could belong to either.
- Check the recorded floor area against the median size on the unit's row. Two apartments filed under the same bedroom count can differ in size, so compare the price per square foot as well as the total.
- Ask for the current service charge per square foot and the last two years of it. In Dubai it is set per building and reviewed annually, and a rise of a dirham or two per square foot moves a mid-size flat's running cost by thousands a year.
- Ask which register the unit sits on. A completed home changes hands on the secondary register at the Land Department; a pre-handover unit is an assignment of the original sale contract, needs the developer's no-objection certificate, and carries whatever is left of the payment plan.
52|42 Tower 1 — common questions
- Is this the same register as 52|42 Tower 2?
- No. The Land Department keeps separate registers for 52|42 Tower 1 and 52|42 Tower 2, and this page covers 52|42 Tower 1 only.
- Is the price data on this page asking prices or actual sales?
- Actual sales. Every figure comes from the Dubai Land Department's record of completed transactions — the price recorded when ownership legally changed hands.
- Why is there no studio row?
- Because the Land Department has recorded no studio sale in 52|42 Tower 1, and the table shows a row only for a bedroom type that has sold.
- Can I tell from this data whether a unit is selling below its original price?
- No. The Land Department records a developer's first sale and a pre-handover resale under the same code, and the export carries no unit identifier, so an original price cannot be traced to a later sale of the same apartment.
- How current is this register?
- The page states the date of the most recent recorded sale it holds and recomputes every figure on load. Records arrive in batches, so the newest few days are typically not yet included.
