💰 1. Calculate Your Budget and Investment Costs

Before you start, determine your total investment budget — this includes more than the property price.
Here’s what to consider:

  • Dubai Land Department (DLD) Transfer Fee: 4% of the property price

  • Agency Fee: 2% (standard for real estate transactions)

  • Down Payment: Minimum 25% for expats and 20% for UAE nationals

  • Service Charges: Vary by community and property type

  • Mortgage Costs: Include valuation fees, life insurance, and bank charges

💡 Tip from HT360 Properties: Always keep a buffer of 5–7% above your budget for unforeseen expenses or closing costs.

 

 

🏦 2. Get Mortgage Pre-Approval

A mortgage pre-approval helps you understand how much you can borrow and speeds up the buying process. Most UAE banks offer pre-approvals valid for 60 days.

At HT360 Properties, our in-house mortgage advisors work with leading banks to secure the best mortgage rates in Dubai, saving you time and money.

Documents typically required:

  • Passport and visa copy

  • Emirates ID (if applicable)

  • Salary certificate or proof of income

  • Bank statements (last 3–6 months)

  • Payment plans and handover dates

HT360 Properties’ experts provide virtual tours and ROI calculators to help investors make informed decisions.

 

 

✍️ 5. Make a Formal Offer

When you find the right property, make a formal offer.
You’ll usually need:

  • A 10% deposit cheque (held in escrow)

  • A copy of your passport and Emirates ID

HT360 Properties negotiates directly with sellers and developers to ensure you get the best possible deal.

 

 

🧾 6. Sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

The MOU (Form F) outlines agreed-upon terms, including sale price, payment method, and timeline.
It’s signed at a Dubai Land Department–approved Trustee Office with both buyer and seller present.

HT360 Properties ensures that all documents are legally compliant and transparent before signing.

 

 

🧩 7. Apply for the No Objection Certificate (NOC)

Before ownership transfer, the developer issues an NOC confirming there are no outstanding service charges or dues on the property.
This process usually takes 3–5 working days.

 

 

🏛️ 8. Transfer Ownership at the Dubai Land Department (DLD)

The final step is transferring the property at a DLD Trustee Office.
During this stage:

  • Buyer pays the remaining balance via manager’s cheque

  • Seller receives payment

  • DLD issues the Title Deed in the buyer’s name

Congratulations — you are now a Dubai property owner with HT360 Properties by your side.
