Streamlining Your Property Transfer Process
Navigating the property transfer process in Dubai involves negotiating sale terms, securing a No Objection Certificate, and completing the official transfer at the Dubai Land Department. We guide you every step of the way to ensure a smooth transaction.
1. Negotiate Sale Terms
Start by coming to an agreement on the terms of the sale, including the purchase price and payment plan. At this point, both parties typically sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Sale Agreement, which outlines all the key details of the transaction.
2. Acquire a No Objection Certificate
If the property is mortgaged, the seller must secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the lender. This document ensures there are no issues with the transfer and confirms the bank has no objections to the sale. Without the NOC, the process may be delayed or encounter complications.
3. Property Appraisal
An official valuation by a Dubai Land Department (DLD)-approved appraiser is required before completing the transfer. This step is necessary to determine the property’s fair market value and calculate the applicable transfer fees payable to the DLD.
4. Ownership Transfer
Both the buyer and seller must attend the Dubai Land Department (DLD) to formally transfer ownership after the property’s value has been confirmed. The buyer pays the agreed amount, and the seller receives the funds. At the same time, the DLD updates its records to reflect the new owner.
5. Issuance of Title Deed
Once the transfer is complete, the DLD issues the title deed in the buyer’s name. The title deed serves as the official proof of ownership and includes key details such as the property’s location, size, and ownership information. The buyer will receive an email with a link to access the title deed and a map of the property.
Required Documents for Property Transfer in Dubai:
A transfer letter from the owner or their representative (individual or entity)
UAE ID of the owner, or a power of attorney if the owner is not present in person
Passport copies for owners (for non-residents)
Trade license copies for companies (if applicable)
6. Finalizing the Transfer
After the transfer is complete, ensure that the property is handed over as agreed, and update any utility accounts in the new owner’s name.
