About Our Property Transaction Services

Buying or Selling Property Without the Guesswork

We act for buyers, sellers and investors in ready and off-plan property, residential and commercial. Before you pay a deposit, we confirm who owns the property, whether it is mortgaged, and whether service charges are up to date.

You don’t legally need a lawyer to buy property in Dubai, but most deposit disputes we see could have been avoided with one review of the MOU before signing. We make sure deadlines, conditions and deposit terms protect you.

Why it matters

Why Legal Checks Matter Before You Sign

Most Dubai resale deals follow the same path: the MOU (Form F) and deposit, the developer’s NOC, mortgage clearance or buyer finance, and transfer at a DLD trustee office where the transfer fee — typically 4% of the price — is paid. Problems arise when the MOU has no finance condition, deadlines are unrealistic, or the seller’s mortgage is larger than expected.

For off-plan purchases, the sale must be registered in Oqood and payments must go into the project’s escrow account. We check both before you pay.

FAQ's

Property Sale & Purchase in Dubai – FAQs

1. Is a lawyer required to buy property in Dubai?

No, but legal review protects your deposit and helps you avoid buying a property with hidden problems such as unpaid service charges or an undisclosed mortgage.

2. What is Form F in Dubai?

Form F is the standard memorandum of understanding between buyer and seller. It records the price, deposit, deadlines and conditions, and is the main document if the deal falls through.

3. What are the main costs for a buyer?

The Dubai Land Department transfer fee, typically 4% of the price, plus trustee and admin fees, agency commission and mortgage costs if you borrow.

4. Can foreign nationals buy property in Dubai?

Yes, in designated freehold areas. We confirm the property's status before you commit.

5. What happens if my mortgage isn't approved?

It depends on whether the MOU makes the purchase conditional on finance. We make sure that protection is included before you sign.

6. Can I sell my Dubai property while living abroad?

Yes. With a specific power of attorney that meets DLD requirements, we can complete the sale for you.
