Cite the Desk
The Dubai Desk publishes the registered record so it can be quoted. Any figure on a public desk may be cited with attribution, and the terms fit in three sentences.

The citation line
The Dubai Desk, from Dubai Land Department registered transactions. Link the page the figure appears on. That attribution is the whole fee for quoting a public figure.
What travels with a figure
Every published figure carries a window and a sample size, and they are part of the number. A median quoted without its window and count is a different claim, so both stay attached. Where the Desk publishes a range rather than a median, the range is the figure.
For newsrooms
When a register refreshes, a short data note reports the figures that moved, in three paragraphs, quotable as written with the citation line. It names what changed and what held; it carries no adjectives. The method behind every figure is published in full at the method.
