Selling Property in the UAE (Including Dubai)

Who Can Sell Property in the UAE?

Property owners, whether UAE nationals, residents or international investors, can sell their freehold property at any time. If your property is mortgaged, it can still be sold with the correct process followed.

Step-by-Step Selling Process in the UAE

1. Property Valuation

We begin with a market valuation to determine the accurate resale value. Our team will assess recent transactions, current listings and market trends to help you set a realistic and profitable price.

2. Title Deed and Documents

You will need to provide the original title deed, Emirates ID or passport, and any mortgage details if applicable. If the property is rented, you may also need a copy of the tenancy contract.

3. Listing the Property

Once documents are verified, we prepare your property listing with high-quality images, detailed descriptions and target-based marketing across platforms like Bayut, Property Finder and our own global database.

4. Viewings and Offers

We handle all viewings, either physically or virtually, and negotiate offers on your behalf. Serious buyers are pre-screened to ensure smooth transactions.

5. Sale Agreement and NOC

After an offer is accepted, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed. You will also need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer. We handle coordination with all relevant parties.

6. Final Transfer at Dubai Land Department (or relevant authority)

On transfer day, the buyer and seller meet at the Dubai Land Department or trustee office. Payment is made, documents are signed, and ownership is officially transferred. You receive the full payment either via manager’s cheque or bank transfer.

Selling Property in the UK

Who Can Sell Property in the UK?

Anyone who owns a property in the UK, whether resident or non-resident, is legally entitled to sell. There are no restrictions based on nationality. International sellers may be subject to tax requirements, and we can guide you on those through our trusted advisors.

Step-by-Step Selling Process in the UK

1. Property Valuation

We conduct a valuation based on location, condition and recent local sales. You will receive a realistic selling price recommendation with advice on how to increase property appeal if needed.

2. Appoint a Solicitor

You will need a conveyancer or solicitor to handle the legal work. If you do not already have one, we can recommend options familiar with international clients.

3. Marketing and Listing

We professionally market your property across key platforms including Rightmove, Zoopla and our global investor network. This includes premium photography, floor plans and online exposure.

4. Viewings and Offers

Our agents manage all viewings and negotiate offers in your best interest. We ensure potential buyers are financially qualified before proceeding.

5. Sales Agreement

Once an offer is accepted, the legal process begins. Your solicitor will draft the contract and manage the exchange of documents.

6. Exchange and Completion

Contracts are exchanged, and a completion date is set. On completion day, the funds are transferred, and ownership changes hands. You will receive payment directly from your solicitor.
