Purchase Procedure

In its most general form, the process of buying a home in Dubai is the following:

1. Selection of real estate and negotiation of conditions. After you have selected the most suitable objects for you, you need to contact the property owners or their representative and discuss all the terms of the transaction.
2. Drawing up a contract and paying the deposit. Once all the conditions are agreed upon, your realtor can start preparing the contract. An example of drawing up such a document can be found on the website of the City Land Department in the “Contracts” section. Together with the contract, you need to make a deposit of 10% of the property value. The amount must be paid in the form of a bank check in the name of the seller. The check will only be given to the homeowner after the transfer of ownership.
3. NOC certificate. In the next step, the homeowner must obtain a Certificate of No Objection (NOC) from the developer. It is a confirmation that the homeowner has no outstanding debts owed to the developer. To obtain such a document, you must submit an appropriate application. The request processing fee is paid by the buyer.
4. Transfer of ownership. Once both parties to the agreement have signed the purchase agreement and received the NOC certificate, the parties to the agreement or their authorized representatives can apply to the Dubai Land Department office to transfer ownership of the property. Payment of the full value of the property (unless otherwise provided by the contract) must be made immediately after the actual change of ownership.
