Property Transfer
Property transfer is the official process of registering a change of ownership from a seller to a buyer with the Dubai Land Department. RAALC Real Estate Registration Agent supports buyers, sellers, investors, brokers, and authorized representatives through document review, transaction preparation, payment coordination, and registration procedures. Our team helps ensure that the required information and supporting documents are properly prepared before the transaction is submitted through the applicable DLD systems.
Service Overview
A property transfer formally records the buyer as the new owner of a property in the Dubai Land Department's real estate register. The procedure may apply to apartments, villas, land, commercial units, and other eligible properties, subject to the requirements of the specific transaction.
RAALC Real Estate Registration Agent supports the parties throughout the registration process by reviewing identification and property documents, confirming the applicable transaction requirements, preparing the registration file, and coordinating the procedural steps required for submission. Depending on the transaction, documents may include the title deed, sale agreement or Form F, developer no-objection certificate, identification documents, contact details, and a valid power of attorney where a representative is involved.
Once the relevant requirements, approvals, and payments are completed, the transaction is processed through the applicable DLD channel. The successful registration results in the issuance of an electronic title deed and property map reflecting the updated ownership.
