As Part of Government Efforts to Enhance Service Quality and Re-engineer Processes:
Survey and Land Registration Bureau Launches the Second Version of the “Takkad” Service

As part of the government’s efforts to enhance service quality and re-engineer processes, the Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB) has launched the second version of the “Takkad” service, introducing a new feature that enables users to view property price indicators. The enhancement aims to promote transparency and provide reliable information that supports decision-making within the real estate sector.

Through this service, beneficiaries can access the average prices of properties within the block in which a property is located by entering either the block number or the property number. The service displays price indicators for the past three years based on accurate and reliable data, enabling users to track real estate market trends and estimate the actual value of a property based on transactions involving similar properties within the same area.

In this regard, His Excellency Engineer Bassem bin Yacoub Al Hamer, President of the Survey and Land Registration Bureau, stated that the new feature adds significant value to the service’s outputs, as it is based on real estate transaction data and is updated automatically. He emphasized that the displayed indicators are intended for guidance purposes and reflect market activity during the specified time periods.

His Excellency further explained that the service provides price indicators for various types of properties, including land plots, apartments, houses, and other property categories. This offers beneficiaries a comprehensive analytical overview that helps them better understand real estate market dynamics and make informed decisions based on reliable data.

Al Hamer noted that the “Takkad” service has witnessed increasing demand among beneficiaries due to its ability to instantly verify a property’s status and confirm that it is free from any restrictions that may prevent its disposal or transfer. He indicated that the number of users since the service was launched in February of last year until the end of January 2026 has exceeded 30,000 users.

He added that the “Takkad” service achieved a significant milestone by winning first place in the Bahrain Digital Content Award 2025 under the Smart Settlements and Urban Expansion category in July 2025. This achievement reflects the quality of the service and its positive impact on the development of digital services. He noted that launching the second version of “Takkad” comes as part of the Bureau’s adoption of innovative digital solutions that expand the scope of information available to beneficiaries, improve access to real estate information, support procedural efficiency, and enhance transparency within the real estate market.

His Excellency also stressed that the development process remains ongoing, reflecting the Bureau’s commitment to keeping pace with the government’s direction toward improving the efficiency and quality of all government services, facilitating procedures, and ensuring the seamless delivery of services. These efforts are aligned with the Government Programme 2023–2026 and the objectives of government performance enhancement and digital transformation.

It is worth noting that, as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to develop and re-engineer public services, more than 1,300 government services have been documented, translated, and published. Around 800 of these services have undergone development and re-engineering across various government sectors, based on suggestions and feedback received through the national suggestions and complaints system “Tawasul”, investor feedback, and secret shopper reports evaluating government services. In addition, guidance manuals and service level agreements have been introduced, contributing to improved procedural efficiency, enhanced service quality, a better beneficiary experience, and support for the government’s digital transformation agenda.
