Send us a few details about your property and what you are looking to do, and we will connect you with relevant SuperAgents. The SuperAgent will help you understand the property's market value, prepare and market it, arrange viewings, negotiate with buyers or tenants, and prepare the required paperwork. We may also contact you by phone or WhatsApp to better understand your requirements before connecting you with agents.

There is no charge from Property Finder to submit your request or be matched with agents. Any agent commission, property management fee, or transaction-related cost is separate and should be discussed and agreed upon directly with your selected agent before you proceed. Agent commission is normally payable on completion of the transaction rather than upfront.

Property Finder only considers eligible SuperAgents with relevant experience in your property’s community and category. Agents are prioritised based on their quality and performance within the relevant area, alongside marketplace dynamics.

The exact documents depend on your property and circumstances. You will typically need:

• Your Emirates ID or passport
• The property's title deed, or Oqood certificate for off-plan
• A No Objection Certificate from the developer, where required
• The signed sale agreement
• A Power of Attorney, if someone is acting on your behalf
• Mortgage documents, if the property is financed
• Tenancy documents, if the property is currently rented

For a standard sale registration, Dubai Land Department requires identification for the buyer and seller and an electronic NOC from the developer for properties in freehold areas. Additional documents apply to mortgaged and other specialised transactions. Clearing any outstanding service charges before you list will help avoid delays when the NOC is requested. Your agent will help confirm which documents apply to your property.

Possible selling costs include:

• Dubai Land Department registration fees
• Real Estate Registration Trustee fees
• Agent commission
• Developer NOC fees
• Mortgage settlement or release fees, where applicable
• Any outstanding service charges or property-related payments

Dubai Land Department currently lists the registration fee as 2% of the sale value for the seller and 2% for the buyer, in addition to title deed, map, knowledge, innovation, and service-partner fees. In practice, how these costs are shared is often negotiated between the parties, so the final allocation should be confirmed in the sale agreement. Your agent can provide a more accurate estimate based on the property value and transaction type.

Yes. You will first need a liability letter from your bank showing the outstanding amount. Banks typically take several working days to issue this, so it is worth requesting it early once you have a serious buyer. During the transaction, the outstanding mortgage is normally settled, the bank issues a mortgage-release letter, and the property transfer is then completed.

Yes. A rented property can be sold anywhere in the UAE, but the sale does not automatically end the tenancy agreement. Across the emirates, a registered tenancy attaches to the property rather than to the owner. If the buyer purchases the property with the tenant remaining, the buyer becomes the new landlord and takes on the obligations under the existing tenancy contract for the remainder of its term. If vacant possession is required, the applicable tenancy terms and legal notice process must be followed. Notice requirements differ meaningfully between emirates, and in some cases notice must be served formally through a notary public or registered mail and can run up to twelve months before the contract expiry date. This is the single most common reason a tenanted sale is delayed, so it should be planned well in advance rather than considered at the point of sale. Registration systems also differ by emirate; for example, there is Ejari in Dubai and Tawtheeq in Abu Dhabi, and the relevant registration should be updated once ownership transfers. Your agent should clearly communicate the tenancy status, rent, contract expiry date, registration details, and security-deposit arrangements to potential buyers and confirm the notice rules that apply in your emirate.

There is no fixed timeline. It depends on factors such as:

• The asking price
• Demand in the community
• The property's condition
• Whether the property is vacant or rented
• Buyer financing
• Mortgage settlement
• How quickly the required documents and NOCs are obtained

Once a buyer has been secured and all documents are ready, the final registration can be completed relatively quickly. Dubai Land Department lists approximately 25 minutes for a standard sale registration at a trustee centre, excluding the time required to market the property, find a buyer, and prepare the transaction. Pricing in line with the market and having your documents ready in advance are the two things most within your control.

An agent can help you determine an appropriate rent, market the property, arrange viewings, review potential tenants, and prepare the tenancy agreement. Once the tenancy contract is signed, it should be registered through Ejari. Ejari is Dubai Land Department's official system for registering tenancy contracts and documenting the relationship between the landlord and tenant. Registration is required, and an unregistered contract can create difficulties with utility connections, visa processes, and any future dispute. Registration can be completed through the Ejari system, Dubai REST, or a Real Estate Services Trustee Centre. A Unified Tenancy Contract is required.

In many cases, yes, but the conditions vary by developer and project. You may need to have paid a minimum portion of the purchase price, settle any outstanding installments or administrative charges, and obtain the developer's approval or NOC. The ownership must also be correctly registered in the Oqood or provisional property register. Dubai Land Department recognises the registration of off-plan property transactions through its initial registration system and requires the relevant developer NOC when an off-plan property is sold. Some developers also apply their own transfer or assignment charge on a pre-handover resale. Your agent should review your sale and purchase agreement and confirm the developer's resale conditions before marketing the property.
