Seller's Guide to Dubai Property
Everything you need to know about selling your property in Dubai — from valuation to key handover.
Selling property in Dubai is a structured process governed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and RERA. Whether you're selling your home or an investment property, this guide walks you through every step from valuation to handover.
Key Facts for Dubai
Get a Property Valuation
Before listing, get an independent market valuation based on recent DLD transactions and current demand. Overpricing your property leads to extended time on market and eventual price reductions — a credible valuation sets the right expectations from day one.
Prepare Your Property
First impressions matter. We arrange professional photography, floor plans, and virtual tours. Minor repairs and staging can significantly increase the perceived value and speed of sale.
List Across All Portals
Your property will be listed on Property Finder, Bayut, and Dubizzle with premium placement. Our marketing also includes social media promotion and direct outreach to our investor database.
Qualify Buyers & Negotiate
We pre-qualify all prospective buyers before arranging viewings. Our agents act firmly in your interest during negotiations to achieve the best possible price in the current market conditions.
Sign MOU & Collect Deposit
Once a buyer is secured, both parties sign the MOU (Form F). The buyer pays a 10% deposit (held in trust) that protects you if the buyer defaults.
Obtain NOC from Developer
You must obtain a No Objection Certificate from your developer confirming your service charges are clear and they approve the sale. This takes 5–15 working days.
DLD Transfer & Key Handover
Both parties attend the DLD Trustee Office. After the buyer completes payment and the DLD issues the new title deed, you hand over the keys. The sale is complete.
