Selling Paths: Ready Property vs Off-Plan Resale
Clear breakdown of legal prerequisites and processes depending on whether your Dubai asset is completed or under construction.
- Title Deed Requirement: Seller must possess the original Title Deed registered with the Dubai Land Department.
- Mortgaged Assets: If the seller has an active bank mortgage, an official liability letter is requested to clear the balance during Trustee settlement.
- Developer NOC: Master developer verifies that service charges and sinking funds are paid in full up to the current quarter.
- Tenanted Properties: Notice period compliance (12-month notarized eviction notice if sold with vacant possession).
- Minimum Threshold: Most master developers (Emaar, DAMAC, Binghatti, Imtiaz) require 20% to 40% of the original purchase price paid before allowing resale.
- Oqood Registration: The seller must have their initial Oqood pre-registration certificate fully issued and up to date.
- Contract Novation: Developer issues an updated SPA, legally transferring remaining installments to the incoming buyer.
- Premium Recovery: Original seller collects paid installments plus the agreed market premium upon contract assignment.
