How we research, verify, and maintain information.

Independence: ARDO is not affiliated with, funded by, or editorially directed by Emaar Properties, Address Hotels + Resorts, any brokerage, or any government authority. Editorial decisions are made independently.

Accuracy first: We do not publish information we believe to be false. Where information is uncertain, we flag it clearly rather than presenting it as confirmed.

Transparency: We distinguish between information sourced from official records, information sourced from third parties, and editorial commentary. We do not blend opinion and fact without signalling which is which.

No conflicts of interest in editorial: ARDO may earn referral fees from specialist introductions. This commercial relationship does not influence content. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, favourable placement, or positive reviews.

User interest first: Our primary obligation is to the person reading — buyer, investor, or owner — not to developers, agents, or advertisers.

ARDO uses a three-tier verification status for factual claims:

• ConfirmedVerified from an official primary source — DLD OQOOD registry, RERA published data, Emaar official communications, or UAE government records. The source is identifiable and the claim can be independently checked.
• VerifyEditorially reasonable based on available information but not confirmed from a primary source. These items are flagged and should not be relied upon without independent verification.
• EditorialCommentary, analysis, or opinion. Clearly framed as editorial rather than factual assertion.

In published content, items in the “Verify” category are marked clearly in place, rather than presented as confirmed fact.

We prioritise sources in the following order:

1. DLD OQOOD registry — primary source for transaction data, registered prices, and ownership records
2. RERA published data — primary source for service charge indices and rental market data
3. Emaar Properties official communications — for developer-specific facts (completion dates, unit counts, specifications)
4. UAE government publications — for regulatory and legal framework information
5. Specialist professional knowledge — for contextual interpretation, with source noted and claim flagged as verify where not independently checkable
6. Editorial analysis — clearly labelled as commentary or opinion

We do not treat agent estimates, marketing materials, or portal listings as verified sources for factual claims about the building.

ARDO content is subject to ongoing review and update. We prioritise updates in the following scenarios:

• New DLD transaction data becomes available that materially changes price or yield figures
• RERA publishes updated service charge indices
• A factual error is identified (whether internally or reported by a user)
• Regulatory or legal requirements change in a way that affects buyer or owner guidance
• Building-specific changes occur (management changes, major works, new amenities)

Content pages include an implicit “as of” date in the editorial context. Where data has a specific effective date, this is stated. Where a page was last reviewed, this information is maintained internally.

ARDO takes corrections seriously. If we have published something incorrect, we want to fix it — not obscure it.

Our corrections process:

• Corrections are made promptly once verified
• Significant factual corrections are noted in the relevant content where practical
• We do not silently delete content that was wrong — we correct and note the correction
• We do not alter historical accuracy of records (e.g., DLD transaction data is not altered retroactively without clear justification)

If you believe something on ARDO is inaccurate, please let us know. We take all reports seriously and investigate every claim.

To report an inaccuracy:

• Contact us via WhatsApp or email (see Contact page)
• Reference the specific page and the claim you believe is incorrect
• Where possible, provide the source you believe to be authoritative

We will acknowledge your report and respond with our assessment — typically within a few business days for straightforward corrections.

ARDO is committed to being transparent about what we are, what we are not, and how we operate:

• We may earn referral fees from specialist introductions; this is disclosed in our site footer and does not affect editorial content
• We use analytics to understand how the platform is used; see our Privacy Policy
• Our content is not tailored to individual financial circumstances; we recommend independent professional advice before any transaction
• We have no obligation to Emaar Properties, Address Hotels + Resorts, or any other commercial party to present their product favourably
