The Public Relations and Media Department at the Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB) announced that the volume of real estate trading in the month of July amounted to about BD 85,816,119 (Bahrain Dinars eighty five million, eight hundred sixteen thousand, one hundred and nineteen), which represents an increase of about 40% compared to the same month of last year 2016.

The volume of real estate trading in the period from January to July amounted to BD 613,607,003 (Bahrain Dinars six hundred and thirteen million six hundred seven thousand and three dinars), whilst the volume of real estate trading during the first half of this year 2017 amounted to BD 528,071,497 (Bahrain Dinars five hundred and twenty-eight million seventy-one thousand and four hundred and ninety-seven).

It should be noted here that the preliminary sale and purchase contracts which are concluded at the Notarization Office of the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Awqaf, and on the basis of which properties are registered at SLRB, allow a period of one year for the buyer to register the bought property with the Survey and Land Registration Bureau.

Therefore, the trading in and real estate transactions that are concluded during any period of time are not necessarily registered with SLRB on the same day or the month in which the transaction took place, which in turn means that the actual volume of transactions during a period may be more than what has been registered with SLRB for that period.
