Yes. If your property is mortgaged, the buyer must first settle the outstanding loan with your bank. Usually, the buyer provides a manager’s cheque to the bank for clearance, and once the liability is released, the transfer can proceed.
Yes. Before transferring ownership, you must obtain an NOC from the developer (e.g., Emaar, DAMAC, Nakheel). This confirms there are no outstanding service charges and that the developer has no objection to the sale.
You will generally need: Original Title Deed (issued by Dubai Land Department) Valid passport copy, Emirates ID, and visa (if applicable) Signed Form A (listing agreement with a registered broker) NOC from the developer (before transfer) MOU (Memorandum of Understanding, Form F) signed by buyer and seller
It’s not mandatory, but highly recommended. Brokers registered with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) can list your property on portals, find buyers, handle negotiations, and guide you through paperwork.
Typical costs include: Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee: 4% of the property price (paid by the buyer) NOC fee: AED 500 – AED 5,000 (varies by developer) Agency commission: Typically 2% of selling price (if using a broker) Trustee office fees: Around AED 2,100 – AED 4,200 depending on value
If you have a buyer, the transaction usually takes 2–6 weeks, depending on mortgage clearance, NOC issuance, and scheduling at the Trustee Office.
Yes. You can sell through a Power of Attorney (POA) granted to someone in Dubai, or in some cases by attending virtually (if the Trustee Office allows). The POA must be notarized and attested.
No. Dubai does not impose capital gains tax on property sales. However, service charges and other community-related dues must be cleared before transfer.
Sign Form A with a registered broker (if using one). Market the property and secure a buyer.Sign the MOU (Form F) with buyer and pay 10% deposit (usually held in escrow). Obtain NOC from developer. Clear any mortgage (if applicable). Attend transfer at Trustee Office with buyer → buyer pays remaining amount → seller receives payment → title deed transferred.
At the transfer, the buyer provides a manager’s cheque (bank-issued cheque) in your name, which you can deposit immediately after the transaction.
