What this decision involves
Seller proceeds should be calculated from a written completion statement rather than the agreed price alone. The transaction may involve official charges, service-partner fees, agency commission, developer-related amounts and mortgage settlement.
Sellers should use licensed professionals and current official procedures. A clear paper trail and realistic schedule protect the transaction when several parties must coordinate.
A practical step-by-step approach
Use the same sequence for every option so important checks are not lost when a listing appears urgent.
- Request current official fees for the exact transfer route.
- Check whether a developer e-NOC is required.
- Obtain service-charge and mortgage settlement information.
- Agree how deposits and balances will be handled.
How to compare your options
Dubai Land Department’s property sale registration information currently describes a 2% seller and 2% buyer allocation for registration, plus document and service-partner fees. The actual completion statement should use the latest official schedule.
Common risks and details to verify
Do not assume every seller has the same cost. Mortgaged, tenanted, inherited or company-owned property can require additional steps and documents.
Turning research into a clear decision
Prepare a net-proceeds worksheet before accepting an offer. Include known fees and conservative estimates for amounts still awaiting confirmation, then update it as formal statements arrive.
