Property Sale Registration registers a property sale between a seller and buyer or their authorised representatives. DLD’s service description lists the document requirements and steps.
Before the transaction, confirm who will attend registration, which documents your situation requires and how payments will work. A signed contract and completed registration are separate stages that must be coordinated.
Check current fees and requirements on the official service page before proceeding. Do not rely on an old calculation in messages: the final budget depends on the property, purchase method and applicable terms.
Organising registration for your property
Our brokers will help you understand the applicable procedure. DLD Property Sale Registration covers a sale of land, property or a completed unit between seller and buyer or their authorised representatives. Initial off-plan registration uses the developer’s Oqood portal. The sale contract and final ownership record represent different stages.
Preparing documents and payments
- Seller, buyer and property details are compared with the contract and registration documents. A representative’s participation involves the applicable authority requirements.
- DLD lists both parties’ Emirates IDs for individuals, or a valid passport for a non-resident foreigner. In freehold areas, the developer’s e-NOC through Dubai REST and its readiness for the appointment are part of the preparation.
- The budget uses current official fees for seller, buyer, document issuance and trustee services. The parties agree how payments are allocated; older estimates belong to their own dates.
Completing registration
At a Real Estate Registration Trustee centre, staff review documents, enter the transaction for audit, collect payment and issue a receipt. The outputs include an electronic title deed and map. Property and new-owner details are compared with the transaction documents. Any deficiency identified by the centre is resolved before registration is completed. The receipt and issued documents form part of the owner’s records.
