The DLD oversees all real estate transactions in Dubai, ensuring legal and transparent property transfers. It maintains a public register of property ownership and provides services like property valuation and dispute resolution.

The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) oversees the market, ensuring transparency and protecting the rights of buyers and sellers.

Determine your budget, hire a registered real estate agent, search for properties, make an offer, secure financing, sign the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and complete ownership transfer at the DLD.

Apart from the purchase price, consider registration fees (about 4% of the property price), agent commission (usually 2%), mortgage fees (if applicable), and annual service charges for maintenance.

Using a conveyancer is recommended for a smooth transaction. Conveyancing fees range from AED 6,000 to AED 10,000, and NOC fees vary depending on the developer.
