Can I sell a property in Dubai without an agent?
Yes, you can sell your property without an agent, but using a RERA-certified real estate agent can simplify the process, ensure legal compliance, and attract serious buyers. Private sellers must handle all paperwork, marketing, and negotiations independently.
Do I need to pay capital gains tax when selling a property in Dubai?
No, Dubai does not impose a capital gains tax on property sales. However, sellers must pay a 4% transfer fee to the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and any applicable agent commission fees.
Can I sell my tenanted property in Dubai?
Yes, you can sell a property that is currently rented. The new owner must honor the existing tenancy contract unless they issue a 12-month legal eviction notice if they plan to move in themselves.
How much commission do real estate agents charge for selling in Dubai?
Real estate agents in Dubai typically charge 2% of the final sale price as commission. Some agencies may have different rates, so it’s best to confirm the terms before listing.
What happens if my buyer backs out at the last minute?
If the buyer withdraws after signing the Form F (MOU), they may forfeit their 10% deposit unless otherwise agreed. Sellers can relist the property and seek a new buyer.
How long does it take to sell a property in Dubai?
The selling timeline depends on market demand, property type, and pricing strategy. On average, it takes between 4 to 12 weeks to sell a property in Dubai.
Do I need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to sell my property?
Yes, sellers must obtain an NOC from the developer to confirm no outstanding dues. The NOC is required before the ownership transfer at the DLD Trustee Office.
Can I sell my off-plan property before completion?
Yes, but it depends on the developer’s resale policy. Most developers require 30-40% of the property value to be paid before approving a sale. Some charge an assignment fee for off-plan resales.
What documents do I need to sell my property in Dubai?
Original Title Deed
Passport & Emirates ID copies (seller & buyer)
Form A (if selling through an agent)
Form F (MOU) (buyer-seller agreement)
No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer
Mortgage clearance letter (if applicable)
Where does the sale transaction and ownership transfer take place?
The final transfer occurs at a Dubai Land Department Trustee Office, where all parties sign documents, and the new Title Deed is issued to the buyer upon payment completion.
