Step-By-Step Guide to Selling an Off-Plan Property in Dubai

1. Determine Eligibility to Sell

  • Before initiating the sale of your off-plan property, ensure you meet the Dubai Land Department’s requirements. Typically, you must have paid at least 30% of the property’s total cost. If you haven’t reached this threshold but wish to proceed, consider paying the difference to meet the required percentage.

2. Find a Suitable Buyer

  • Engage a licensed real estate agent or agency with expertise in the off-plan market. Redlac Real Estate specializes in this area and can connect you with potential buyers. Our team will handle the marketing and negotiations on your behalf, ensuring a smooth process.

3. Agree on the Terms of the Sale

  • Once potential buyers are identified, begin negotiating the terms, including the sales price, transfer date, and any special conditions. Clear and detailed communication at this stage is crucial for a successful transaction.

4. Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC)

  • After securing a buyer, approach the property developer to obtain an NOC. This certificate is essential as it confirms the developer has no objections to the sale and allows the transfer to proceed.

5. Sign the Sales Contracts

  • With the NOC in hand, finalize the sale by signing the contract. This legal document will outline all agreed terms and conditions, including the buyer’s obligations to the developer.

6. Transfer of Ownership

  • The final step involves transferring ownership. Upon receipt of payment, the seller transfers the property to the buyer, who then assumes responsibility for any outstanding payments to the developer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Sell Before Completion?

  • Yes, selling an off-plan property before completion is possible. Ensure you’ve met the required payment threshold to obtain an NOC.

How Does the Sale Process Work?

  • The new buyer pays the seller an amount equal to what has already been paid to the developer, adjusting for any agreed premium or discount. The buyer then takes over the payment plan with the developer.

Why Sell an Off-Plan Property?

  • Sellers may have different motivations, such as changed circumstances or the desire to capitalize on market growth. In a strong market, it’s not uncommon to see profits of 30% or more from selling off-plan properties.

What If I Have Financing on My Property?

  • If your off-plan property is financed, the process involves settling the loan before obtaining an NOC. While this may take additional time, it is a manageable step in the process.
