Sell Your Property in Dubai
A structured, RERA-compliant route from valuation to transfer.
Amber Homes Real Estate helps Dubai property owners sell through a structured, RERA-compliant process. We start with a data-backed valuation, sign the Form A listing agreement RERA requires, then market your property across Dubai's major portals and our qualified-buyer network — including international investors. Our team manages viewings, presents and negotiates offers, and coordinates the developer NOC and the Dubai Land Department transfer at a registration trustee, so you move from listing to completed sale with clear communication at every step.
How selling works in Dubai
The standard steps in a Dubai property sale, as of July 2026.
Valuation
We assess your property against recent comparable transactions in your building and community, current buyer demand, and developer and community factors, then recommend a realistic asking price.
Form A listing agreement
RERA requires a signed Form A between you and the brokerage before a property can be advertised. It records the agreed price, commission, and marketing terms, and enables the Trakheesi advertising permit for your listing.
Marketing
Your property is listed across Dubai's major property portals and promoted to our qualified-buyer network, which includes international investors, with professional presentation and accurate, permit-compliant advertising.
Offers and negotiation
We present every offer, negotiate on your instructions, and once terms are agreed both parties sign the sale agreement (MOU / Form F), with the buyer typically lodging a security deposit cheque.
Developer NOC
You apply to the developer for a No Objection Certificate confirming there are no outstanding service charges on the unit. Developers charge a fee for this, and issue times vary by developer.
Transfer at a registration trustee
The sale completes at a DLD-approved registration trustee office: the buyer pays, ownership is transferred at the Dubai Land Department, and a new title deed is issued in the buyer's name.
Costs when selling
Typical seller costs on a Dubai property sale, as of July 2026.
- Agency commission: typically 2% of the sale price, plus VAT, payable on successful completion.
- Developer NOC fee: usually AED 500–5,000, set by the developer, to confirm no outstanding service charges on the unit.
- Mortgage release (if applicable): the outstanding loan balance is settled at transfer, and your bank charges its own liability-letter and mortgage-release fees — confirm the exact amounts with your lender.
- Note on the DLD transfer fee: the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is customarily paid by the buyer, though it is negotiable between the parties.

Selling in Dubai: FAQs
What documents do I need to sell my property in Dubai?
You will need your original title deed, your passport (and Emirates ID if you are a UAE resident), and a signed Form A listing agreement with your brokerage — RERA requires Form A before a property can be legally marketed. If the property is mortgaged, you will also need a liability letter from your bank, and before transfer the developer issues a No Objection Certificate (NOC) confirming there are no outstanding service charges.
How long does it take to sell a property in Dubai?
Time to sell depends on pricing, community demand, and market conditions, so no agency can promise a timeframe. Once a buyer signs the sale agreement (MOU / Form F), the transfer itself typically completes within roughly two to six weeks as of July 2026 — cash purchases are usually faster, while mortgage-financed buyers need extra time for bank valuation and final approval.
Do I pay the 4% DLD transfer fee as a seller?
In Dubai the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is customarily paid by the buyer, although it is negotiable between the parties. As a seller, your usual costs are the agency commission (typically 2% plus VAT), the developer NOC fee, and — if the property is mortgaged — your bank's liability-letter and mortgage-release charges.
Can I sell my property in Dubai if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Your bank issues a liability letter stating the outstanding balance, the buyer (or the buyer's bank) settles that amount as part of the transfer, and the mortgage is released before the title deed passes to the buyer at the registration trustee. This is a routine, well-established process handled at DLD-approved trustee offices, and your brokerage coordinates the sequencing between both banks.
