Off-Plan Development Transfer
An off-plan development transfer supports the transfer of an eligible property or registered interest within a project under construction before issuance of the final title deed. RAALC Real Estate Registration Agent assists buyers, sellers, investors, developers, brokers, companies, and authorized representatives with reviewing provisional registration records, confirming developer requirements, preparing the transaction file, and coordinating the applicable procedures. Our team helps organize the Oqood records, sale documents, identification details, approvals, and supporting information required for the proposed transfer.
Service Overview
An off-plan development transfer applies when a purchaser transfers an eligible unit or registered interest within a project under construction before the final title deed is issued. Off-plan sales are initially recorded in Dubai's provisional real estate register, while the final title deed is generally issued after the property is completed and the relevant final registration requirements are met.
RAALC Real Estate Registration Agent supports the transaction by reviewing the existing Oqood or provisional registration record, the initial sale or assignment agreement, buyer and seller identification documents, developer approvals, payment status, and any applicable corporate or representative documents. A no-objection certificate from the competent developer may be required for an off-plan sale, depending on the property and transaction.
Once the required approvals, documents, signatures, and payments are prepared, the transfer request is processed through the applicable provisional registration procedure. The relevant registration record is then updated to reflect the approved transaction.
