Frequently Asked Questions

Question about selling

To sell property in the UAE, sellers must ensure they have legal ownership, clear title deeds, and have paid off any outstanding mortgage or fees. Non-residents may require a special property permit, depending on the location.

While it’s not mandatory to use a real estate agent, working with one can help simplify the process. Agents have local market knowledge, can list your property, and assist with negotiations and paperwork, making the sale faster and more efficient.

Selling property involves various costs, including agent fees (typically 2% of the sale price), registration fees, and potential capital gains tax if applicable. Buyers also pay the 4% transfer fee to the Dubai Land Department.

Yes, foreigners can sell property in the UAE, particularly in designated freehold areas where non-residents are allowed to own real estate. However, they must comply with the regulations set by the UAE government.

To sell property, you’ll need the title deed, proof of identity, a no-objection certificate from the developer (if applicable), and any clearance of outstanding payments. The buyer will also need to provide proof of identity and financial documents for the transaction.

Question about renting

To rent a property in the UAE, you typically need a valid passport, visa, Emirates ID (for residents), proof of income (such as salary slips), and post-dated cheques for rent payment. Some landlords may also request references or a security deposit.

Rental contracts in the UAE are typically one year, but they can vary depending on the landlord and tenant agreement. Most landlords prefer long-term leases, but shorter-term leases are available for some properties.

In the UAE, rent is usually paid annually, but landlords may accept payments in multiple installments (e.g., quarterly or monthly). The number of installments depends on the landlord’s preference and the specific property’s terms.

Rent negotiation is possible in some cases, especially if the market is competitive or the property has been vacant for a while. However, rent prices in popular areas are often fixed. It’s worth discussing the rent and lease terms with the landlord or agent to check for flexibility.

Breaking a rental contract early in the UAE typically requires providing notice (usually 60 days) and may involve penalties. The landlord may keep part or all of the security deposit, depending on the terms of the contract. It’s important to review the lease agreement for early termination clauses.
