Q. What are the steps to buying property in Dubai?

A. The process of buying a property includes four basic legal steps that need to be followed in Dubai.

1. Establishing buyer and seller agreement
Once you have found a property that you want to invest in, you must consult a real estate agent. They will help you communicate, negotiate and outline the terms of sale with the owner.

2. Signing an agreement for sale
Once all the details are finalized, it’s time to sign the agreement of sale, also known as the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). In Dubai, this document is entitled ‘Contract F’ and is available on the Dubai Land Department’s website, under the ‘Contracts’ page. Upon signing this contract it is standard practice in Dubai for the buyer to pay a 10% deposit of the property value to the seller.

3. Applying for a No Objection Certificate (NOC)
To allow for the transfer of ownership you must apply and pay for a No Objection Certificate from the developer of the unit you are purchasing. This will allow for the transfer of ownership. Once all outstanding service charge payments are finalized the developer will be able to provide an NOC.


Q. Transfer of ownership with Dubai Land Department

A. Once you have obtained the NOC, you will need to meet the seller at the Dubai Land Department (DLD) to have a new title-deed drawn up. Before the title-deed is provided, DLD requires the buyer to make a payment of the property price in the form of a cheque. This cheque should be made payable to the seller on the date of the transfer.


Q. How long does it take to buy a new property in Dubai?

A. An average property transaction in Dubai takes around 30 days to complete from the date on which the Agreement for Sale is signed.


Q. What are the fees needed to buy a property in Dubai?

A. The primary market purchasing fee in all DLD Registration Trustees offices is AED 4,000 for transactions over AED 500,000, and AED 2,000 for those below this amount. Fees are payable in cash and paid by the parties as agreed.
For secondary market purchases, total fees include a 2% commission fee (for the sales agent or broker), the NOC fee [around AED 5,000 max] and a transfer appointment fee [AED 4,000].


Q. How do I buy property in Dubai on instalments?

A. You will need to apply for a mortgage through one of the banks in the UAE. Mortgage registration charges payable to the DLD amount to 0.25 per cent of the loan value, plus AED 290 as a standard charge.
