What are the steps to buy a ready (completed) property in Dubai?
For a resale: agree the price and terms with the seller; sign the Form F (MOU) and pay a deposit, usually 10%; the seller obtains a developer No Objection Certificate; then both parties attend a DLD-approved trustee office, where you pay the balance plus the 4% transfer fee and receive the title deed. Start to finish is usually two to six weeks.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
