Why is your fee a fixed AED 2,625 incl. VAT?

Because conveyancing work is process, not mystery. We publish one price for a complete service — contract to transfer — so you can budget before you call. No percentages, no hourly billing, no extras appearing on completion day.

How long does a transfer take?

Most straightforward transfers complete in two to four weeks; with mortgages or developer NOC delays it can run to six. We begin every case within 24 hours and stay in constant communication with the agents and the clients — you will always know exactly where your file stands.

Can I buy or sell without being in Dubai?

Yes. With a properly drafted Power of Attorney we act for you end-to-end — NOC appointments, liability letters, the trustee office — and report every step. Most of our overseas clients never fly in.

Do you handle company buyers and sellers?

Yes. Where the buyer or seller is a company — a UAE LLC, a free-zone entity or an offshore holding — we manage the additional layer: trade licence and MOA checks, board resolutions and signatory authority, DLD corporate requirements and the coordination between shareholders, banks and the developer. Your agents hand us the deal; we settle it correctly.

How does a brokerage partnership work?

One introduction call, then your agency gets a named conveyancing manager, a 24-hour SLA and white-label progress updates. Your agents keep selling; we settle every deal behind them.

Is there anything you don't do?

We don't hold client money — no escrow accounts, manager's cheques or foreign exchange. Where a transaction needs them, we introduce regulated partners and coordinate the process.

Can you handle a property gift to a family member?

Yes. Gifting between first-degree relatives (spouses, parents and children) attracts a reduced DLD fee of 0.125% of the property value instead of 4%. We arrange the certified valuation, prepare the documentation and coordinate the DLD appointment — the same fixed fee of AED 2,625 incl. VAT applies.

Buying or selling Dubai property from overseas: the Power of Attorney route

How non-resident buyers and sellers complete a Dubai property transfer without flying in — drafting, notarising and attesting a Power of Attorney, and what the attorney can and cannot do.

A large share of our clients live in London, Mumbai, Moscow, Amsterdam or Milan and never set foot in a Dubai trustee office. Dubai's system is designed for this: with a properly drafted Power of Attorney (POA), an appointed attorney can sign, apply, pay and attend on your behalf, end to end.

What the POA must say

The DLD and trustee offices read the POA literally. It should name the property (or the authority to buy or sell property in Dubai), expressly allow the attorney to sign the Agreement of Sale, apply for and collect the NOC, deal with banks and mortgage registration or release, attend the DLD / trustee office, sign the transfer and receive the title deed. A general "manage my affairs" clause is routinely rejected.

Getting it recognised in Dubai

Signed in the UAE: notarised at a Dubai Courts notary (in person or via the online notary service) — usable immediately.
Signed abroad: notarised locally, attested by the foreign ministry of that country and the UAE embassy, then attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs on arrival. Apostille alone is not sufficient for property transactions.
Translated: any POA not in Arabic needs a legal translation by a Ministry of Justice-licensed translator before it is used at the DLD.

Who should be your attorney?

A trusted relative, your agent, or your conveyancer. Many of our overseas clients appoint us, which means one party holds the documents, the appointments and the authority — and reports every step with photographs of the signed forms and the issued title deed.

Money and manager's cheques

We do not hold client money. Purchase funds are usually paid by manager's cheques drawn on a UAE bank account, or through the buyer's bank in a mortgaged purchase. Where an overseas buyer has no UAE account, we introduce regulated payment partners and coordinate the timing so the cheques are ready for the transfer appointment.

Fees and timelines reflect DLD, trustee and developer schedules at the time of writing and may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice — contact us for guidance on your specific transaction.
