GUIDES - Selling your property

Step 1

⁠GETTING STARTED
We begin by setting your property up for success:

  • Prepare your property – Fix visible issues, refresh paint if needed, and ensure it’s clean and tidy. First impressions count.

  • Set the right price – We guide you in choosing a competitive price that balances current market value with your expectations.

  • Sign Form A – To officially list your property, you'll sign the seller agreement (Form A) and provide the required documents. We’ll take care of registration and marketing permits.
     

Step 2

VISIBILITY, NEGOTIATION & OFFERS

  • We put your property in front of the right buyers and move you toward a successful deal.

  • Strategic marketing – Your property will be showcased with high-quality photos, top portal placements, and targeted digital campaigns.

  • Professional viewings – We handle all viewings and buyer communication to ensure a smooth, polished experience.

  • Negotiation - we handle negotiations to secure the best possible price and terms.

  • Offer & MOU – Once an offer is accepted, both parties sign the MOU (Form F). A 10% deposit is collected and held securely until transfer.
     

Step 3

OBTAINING NO OBJECTION LETTER (NOC)

  • With the MOU signed, it’s time to prepare for transfer.

  • If the property is fully paid: You can apply for the developer’s NOC using the signed MOU, title deed, passport and ID copies, and any other required documents. Some developers may also inspect the property. The NOC is typically issued within 3–7 working days.

  • If the property is mortgaged: First, request a liability letter from your bank. The buyer (or their bank) will clear the mortgage directly. Once settled, a clearance letter is issued and the NOC application can proceed.

  • NOC fee – AED 500–5,000 + VAT depending on the developer (usually paid by the seller).
     

Step 4

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

  • Once the NOC is ready, we arrange your meeting at a DLD-approved trustee office.

  • The buyer provides manager’s cheques for the purchase amount, DLD fees, and other charges.

  • The title deed is officially transferred to the buyer’s name.
     

Costs at this stage:

  • DLD fee – 4% of the purchase price (paid by buyer)

  • Trustee office fee (typically paid by buyer):

  • AED 2,100 + VAT – for properties under AED 500,000

  • AED 4,200 + VAT – for properties above AED 500,000

  • AED 5,250 + VAT – for corporate entity transactions

  • Agency commission – Typically 2% of the sale price or as agreed (paid by seller)
     

Step 5

FINAL STEPS

  • A few days before transfer, make sure you’ve scheduled utility disconnection with DEWA and any other providers. This usually takes 24–48 hours and can be completed online.

  • At the trustee office, once the transfer is complete and the title deed is issued, you’ll receive the manager’s cheque from the buyer. You can then cash the cheque at your bank.

  • Congratulations — your property is officially sold!
