Property Transfer Between Individuals Dubai
Property Transfer Between Individuals Dubai guidance from Al Hadaf Al Masi helps UAE residents and investors understand the current requirements, documents, official fees and process before starting. We review the transaction or applicant profile and guide you on the correct next steps.
Property Transfer Between Individuals Dubai – Overview
Property Transfer Between Individuals Dubai covers the registration of a completed property sale from one individual owner to another. Dubai Land Department (DLD) registers these transactions through Real Estate Registration Trustee Centers and issues an electronic title deed after completion. If the transfer is a gift, inheritance, mortgage-related sale or another special legal transfer, a different DLD service and fee schedule may apply.
