The Secretariat of the committees responsible for reviewing applications for the acquisition of real estate (Ikhwaam) of the General Authority for State Real Estate reviewed the process of applications for the acquisition of real estate and the formal modification of the instruments of acquisition. In a video presentation broadcast by the Secretariat’s Digital Communications Department, the Secretariat indicated that applications submitted through the digital Ikhwaam platform go through four stages: the first stage involves the management of verification and scrutiny, which is responsible for initial screening of the applications in terms of the completeness of the submitted documents and documents such as the land survey and national identity card; if any observations are found, the applicant is contacted. The second stage involves the management of legal studies, which begins by examining the documents and documents related to the acquisition of real estate and the instruments of acquisition for which the formal and supplementary modification is intended, and presenting the legal and normative opinion regarding them. The third phase involves the management of technical studies that analyze aerial views, verify topographic elevations, and determine the extent of overlap between the site and sites where ownership cannot be acquired, and study and identify sites that conflict with regulatory plans, if any. The necessary technical reports are prepared, as the management continues to communicate with 13 government agencies to complete the data and alleviate the burden on citizens to review those agencies. The fourth phase involves the management of committees that schedule and sort applications and refer them to the competent committees in the regions of the Kingdom, which consists of 17 committees and reviews the appropriate recommendations regarding submitted applications.
