Frequently Asked Questions
Property Regulation in Dubai — Questions We Are Asked
The Land Department publishes its own schedule for sale registration, title deeds and related services, and the figures change. We keep them in one place on this site so that they can be checked against the published source and kept current — see the Dubai Land Department page. We do not publish a single headline percentage, because the registration fee is not the only charge and it is not borne by one party alone.
Which instruments apply depends on whether the property is freehold or leasehold, completed or off-plan, and whether it is let. Law No. 7 of 2006 governs registration and the register. Law No. 13 of 2008 governs the interim register, including off-plan sales. Law No. 8 of 2007 governs escrow accounts. Law No. 26 of 2007 as amended by Law No. 33 of 2008 governs landlord and tenant.
We do not publish an average, because the parts that take time are not the registration itself. The Land Department publishes an estimated processing time for the transaction at the counter; what governs the overall timetable is the developer’s no-objection certificate, discharge of any existing mortgage, the buyer’s finance and the availability of an appointment.
Yes. Article 3 of Law No. 13 of 2008 provides that dispositions of off-plan units are void unless registered in the interim property register, and Law No. 8 of 2007 requires buyer payments to go into the project escrow account.
