WHAT WE SEND YOU
A valuation you can argue with, because you can see the working
Sold comparables
Every recorded sale in your building and size band, with dates — so you price against reality, not against the neighbour’s hope.
Asking versus achieved
The gap between what units list at and what they close at. In a softening market this gap is the whole story.
Days on market
How long comparable units in your building took to sell, and how that has changed over the last four quarters.
Cost of selling
Your net after commission, NOC, mortgage clearance and trustee fees — the number that actually lands in your account.
COSTS
What selling actually costs
Indicative figures. The split between buyer and seller is negotiable and often moves in a soft market.

FOR SELLERS
What we can do for you
Dubai sale prices fell 4% last quarter and 32,000 homes are being handed over this half. Pricing against what buyers actually paid matters more than it has in five years.

Selling property in Dubai: the sequence, and what it costs
Price against sold, not asking
Asking prices tell you what sellers hope for. Registered transactions tell you what buyers agreed to. In a softening market the gap between the two widens, and a property priced against asking sits unsold while the market moves underneath it.
The developer NOC
Before a transfer can be registered, the developer issues a no-objection certificate confirming service charges are settled. It costs between AED 500 and AED 5,000 and takes a few working days — start it early, because it is the step that most often delays a closing.
Clearing a mortgage
If the property is mortgaged, the loan must be settled before transfer. Early settlement is customarily 1% of the outstanding balance, capped at AED 10,000. A financed buyer adds a blocking fee on top.
The registration trustee office
The transfer itself happens at a registration trustee office, not at the Land Department counter. Both parties attend, the manager’s cheque changes hands, and the new title deed is issued the same day.
