It is paramount for you to find an agent who you can trust and build, not only a
professional but friendly relationship with. It is so important that you feel you
can have an open and honest conversation with your agent.
They will share advice and insight into the Dubai property market and the area
you are selling in. They will provide you with market appraisals and show you
the prices of properties which have recently sold.
In your mind, you already have a price you are willing to sell at but is this
achievable and realistic in the Dubai property market? Jump on property
portals and have a real good look around to compare your property to those
that have sold in your area. Perhaps it would be helpful to look at similar
properties in other areas and see what buyers can get for the sale price you
have in mind for your own property. Market price indexes will be sent to you on
a monthly basis, so you are aware of what is selling in your area and for what
price.
Exclusivity with one Dubai real estate broker ensures your property is
marketed with one message and in one specific way. This will avoid the

clean and attractive as possible. If there are any snagging jobs to be done, we

commenced.

Again, make sure your property is in the best condition before a potential
buyer comes to view. We advise you to share property highlights with your
broker. Tell them what it is that you love about the home! Perhaps it’s the
sunset view from the balcony or the sunrise over your garden whilst you’re
drinking your morning coffee. Our brokers can relay this message to potential
buyers and point out aspects that are not obvious to the naked eye but could
be a swaying point for a buyer.
Your broker will start to bring offers from prospective buyers to you. This is
another point where having a very good relationship with your broker is key.
Use information from past viewing feedback, similar property sales and an
array of data points a good broker will provide to help you come to a decision.
Once a verbal agreement is made, both you and the buyer will enter into the
contract stage, this process will be led by your broker.

It is paramount for you to find an agent who you can trust and build, not only a
professional but friendly relationship with. It is so important that you feel you
can have an open and honest conversation with your broker.
Once you have found a broker you would like to work with, it’s important to be
aware of the documents needed to lease out your property and to get it listed
online as soon as possible. You will need to have the property Title Deed, your
passport or Emirates ID and a signed Form A which your broker will give to
you and explain what is needed.
You have a price you would like to achieve in mind, but is this achievable and
realistic in the Dubai property market? Jump on property portals and have a
real good look around to compare not only the properties in your area but
areas further afield which offer similar properties to your own.Your broker will also share advice and insight into the property market and the

the property, so they can relay this message to potential tenants and highlight
the property’s key features that are perhaps invisible to the naked eye.
This may be your only investment property in Dubai or you may have a healthy
portfolio, either way it would be our pleasure to offer you a helping hand to
manage this investment. The DIGITECH Properties property management team
can take away the stress and strain which may occur when renting out your
property and can give you peace of mind that your property will be looked

When an offer of multiple cheques is brought to the table, please be willing to
compromise. Gone are the days where companies will pay rent in one cheque.
More often than not, rent is paid by the tenant themselves and you are more
likely to get a higher price if you are willing to accept multiple cheques. The
majority of properties leased in DIGITECH Properties are paid for in multiple
cheques.
You have received an offer that you’re ready to accept. It is now time to check
everything over and sign! Be sure to ask your broker if there is a certain part
of the contract which you need to get clarification on.
If you are looking for a property for sale in Dubai to turn into a family home or

As a company, we like to provide you with quality property listings. All of our
properties listed on property portals in Dubai hold a trakheesi number. A
number which verifies the property as being available for sale. You can trust
that you are being shown around the exact property you clicked on online and
can avoid calling up about a property only to be told it is no longer available or
worse – be shown around a completely different property.
DIGITECH Properties know that buying a property in Dubai is often a very
different process to buying a property in your home country which can add
stress. Our in-house sales progression team will be by your side throughout
the entire process in order to explain the steps and ensure you have all your
documentation in order. Their aim is to make the process as seamless as
possible from start to finish. They coordinate between you, the seller, the
developer and the banks involved and with all the experience they have
gathered over the years they are extremely proactive and know the process
inside out. Your sales progressor will make sure all of your documents are in
order before beginning the process in order to avoid delays.
It is so important to work with a brokerage you can trust and who will
support you and guide you through the entire process. DIGITECH
Properties will become your house buying ally. Here is a simple step by
step guide to buying an apartment or a villa in Dubai.
So many of us are guilty of starting the buying process by browsing through
properties advertised online only to end up disheartened when your dream
home is way out of budget. Keep in mind that the deposit is not the only fee
that you need to think about; there are transfer fees, agency fees, sales
progression fees, mortgage arrangement fees and mortgage insurance fees.
We advise you to speak to a mortgage advisor to get all the information you
need – they are experts in their field and can talk you through all costs
involved in buying your first property in Dubai. DIGITECH Properties have an
in-house mortgage team ready and waiting to take your call.
Now you have a budget in mind you can start to make a list of must-have
property features such as the number of bedrooms required, the driving
distance to a school or a workplace or whether you prefer a villa or an
apartment. Be prepared to compromise! It is very rare that a property will tick
every box so put this list in order of importance.
It is imperative that you get your broker to talk you through the entire sale
process in Dubai from start to finish; From how to make an offer, the
negotiation process, the paperwork required, the NOC, transfer appointments
and the handover. You are about to take a very large leap and spend possibly
the most money you have ever spent so it is time to do as much due diligence
as possible and ask every single question that pops into your head.
During the viewing process, keep an open mind and don’t rule out a property
because of one factor – your broker may be able to come up with a solution. It
is often difficult to see past a décor that is not your style, but it is important
that you don’t focus too much on things that can easily be changed. Buying a
property is a huge step so be sure to ask your broker as many questions as
you need to – they will be happy to oblige.
Once you have found a property to buy, make a decision on what you would
like to offer. Put the offer to your broker and they will start the negotiating
process with the seller. This is the most nerve-racking time, but your
DIGITECH Properties broker has it under control and will keep you updated
imminently with every advance.
The Agreement of Sale is the first stage in the formation of a formal contract. It
is a binding agreement between the buyer and seller outlining the terms and
details of an understanding, including each parties’ requirements and
responsibilities. Your broker will run through this with you to ensure you are
happy to go ahead before moving onto the transfer stage of the sale. The
agent will create a Unified Form F which is generated from the DLD REST App
by the broker. This is a form of contract that is registered with the DLD.
The DIGITECH Properties in-house sales progression team will be with you
every step of the way to ease you through the sale process and make it as
seamless as possible from the No Objections Certificate (NOC) from the
developer through to the transfer. They coordinate between you as a buyer, the
seller, the developer and the banks involved and with all the experience they
have gathered over the years they are extremely proactive and know the
process inside out. Your sales progressor will make sure all of your

moving process into a well-oiled machine which is organised and thought out

We know how frustrating it can be for you as a tenant to find a property online
which meets your criteria only, when you call the broker they advise you it has
already been rented. At DIGITECH Properties we like to provide you with
quality property listings. All of our properties listed on property portals in
Dubai hold a trakheesi number. A number which verifies the property as being
available for rent in Dubai and the seller has approved the marketing of the

you need moving forward. They will talk you through how to set up DEWA and
DU and can even arrange this for you for a small fee.
Read on for our step by step guide to renting an apartment or villa in
Dubai for the first time.
Calculating a budget is the first and most important step in the rental process
in Dubai. You can use this budget as a base in which you can begin your
search. When calculating a rental budget, please keep in mind the fees that go along
with the rental process in Dubai – 5% of the total rental value will be needed for
a deposit and 5% will be needed for agency fees subject to a minimum fee of
AED 5000
Think about the essentials you require from your rental home. Are you looking
for an apartment or a villa in Dubai? Which area would you prefer? How many
bedrooms do you need? Think of the driving distance to the nearest schools
or your workplace.
Be prepared to compromise! It is very rare that a property will tick every box
so put this list in order of importance and narrow down your search to within
your criteria guidelines.
It is paramount for you to find a real estate broker in Dubai who you can trust
and build, not only a professional but friendly relationship with. It is so
important that you feel you can have an open and honest conversation with
your broker.
Our brokers are trained to offer impeccable service to our clients and
genuinely enjoy getting to know you all. At DIGITECH Properties, our speciality
is listening to your needs and wants and matching you appropriately to the
right community and perfect property.
As we are involved in thousands of leases each year, we have perfected our
moving process into a well-oiled machine which is organised and thought out
for you.
The viewing process can often be rather overwhelming, and it is easy to get
excited about a property and forget to ask the questions you had in your head
before you walked through the front door. DIGITECH Properties advise you to
write down a potential list of questions to ask your broker about the property
you are viewing.
Alternatively, you may dislike a property because of one or two factors but
don’t rule it out completely. Voice your concerns to your broker, they may be
able to come up with a solution as I am sure they have experienced something
very similar in the past.
Once you have found a property to rent in Dubai, make a decision on what you
would like to offer. Put the offer to your broker and they will start the
negotiating process with the landlord. This is the most nerve-racking time, but
your DIGITECH Properties broker has it under control and will keep you
updated imminently with every advance.
To seal the deal your agent will talk you through the documents needed. Make
sure you have an Emirates ID, passport and visa. Take your time to check the
contract thoroughly before signing, if you have any questions or queries our
brokers can clarify.
It is now time to register your rental agreement in Dubai through EJARI which
means ‘your rent’ in Arabic. Your broker will talk you through this process and
assist you with the documents. DIGITECH Properties also have a home move
service who will be in touch after the contract signing and will make you aware
of which permits are needed in order to move forward.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) will need to be registered under
your name and it is a good idea to connect your internet before you move in.
Our home move team can arrange this for you for a small fee.
Congratulations, you have successfully rented a property in Dubai! Be aware
of the move in policies put in place by the community or building security.
Once in, put your feet up and enjoy your new home!!
Sales progression is often an afterthought when the negotiations are underway and
then all of a sudden, you’re ready to process the sale!
So, how do you process the sale of a property in Dubai?
A finance to finance sale progression is a lengthy, time consuming process which
can often bring confusion and stress to both parties. It is highly advisable to use the
expertise of a sales progression team.
Once an agreement on the price has been met between the buyer and seller, both parties
will sign a Unified Form F and an Agreement of Sale which are binding agreements between
the buyer and seller outlining the terms and details of an understanding, including each
parties’ requirements and responsibilities. Ideally the buyer will have their pre-approval in
place at this stage. This is usually something that sellers will insist on before agreeing to a
sale.
After the contracts are signed and the buyers’ pre-approval is in place, the buyer will need to
pay for the property to be valued by the bank who is issuing their mortgage. Once this fee
has been paid, the bank will instruct the valuation.
Mortgage lenders carry out property valuations to ensure the property is suitable security for
a loan and that the market value is enough to cover the mortgage if there is a forced sale.
The bank will instruct a valuation company to carry out the valuation on their behalf. The
valuer will need to have access to the property. It is the seller’s responsibility to ensure this
access is available. It is not necessary for either party to be at the property valuation,
however, the real estate agent will often be present.
The property valuer will then submit a report to the bank including the price they have valued
the property at. The bank will then make progress with the final mortgage offer.
When the mortgage lender has given the go ahead for the mortgage, the buyer will submit a
number of documents requested by their bank to get their final mortgage approval. This
process will revolve around their finances and the bank may ask for credit card statements
or other private financial documents.
Depending on circumstances, the bank can take around 7 calendar days to release the
mortgage final offer letter.
During this time, if there is no sales progression officer in place, the buyer seller will most
likely need to be made aware of the status quo and the processes and timeline.
Once the Final Mortgage Approval letter has been released, the seller can apply for the
liability letter from their bank. A liability letter will outline the exact amount of the remaining
mortgage owed to the Sellers bank.
The liability letter must include the property details including the plot no and will be
addressed to the buyers bank.
The timing here is key! A liability letter can take up to 14 calendar days to be issued and
then may only be valid for 7-15 calendar days.
Once the liability letter is available, the buyer must take this to their bank. The bank will then
prepare a managers cheque to pay off the sellers mortgage. The seller may need to be
present at the settlement, so this must be clarified before the settlement goes ahead.
The buyer must make sure to take copies of the cheques presented as proof of liability
settlement.
The sellers bank will now release the clearance documents. This could take between 1-4
weeks depending on the circumstances. These include the original title deed, a letter to
Dubai Land Department, a letter to the developer, and a letter addressed to the seller.
Each letter will state the same information – that the mortgage is released on the property
and the property can be sold.
It is the responsibility of the buyers bank to collect the documents from the seller’s bank.
This cannot be done by either the buyer or the seller.
Ensure all your documents are ready and organised to apply for a No Objection Certificate
(NOC) from the developer. The NOC is a document from the developer to say that all
charges have been settled and they are happy for the property to be sold.
The seller must settle any service charges at least a quarter in advance. These charges will
then be reimbursed by the buyer at transfer of the property.
Each developer process can vary slightly and require different documents and may request
the presence of both the buyer and seller at the NOC.
Once the NOC has been received, a copy must be sent to the buyer’s bank for them to book
the property transfer date.
It is a good idea for the buyer and seller to calculate how much money they will be giving out
and receiving at the transfer to avoid any complications on the day. It is also essential to
have all cheques written out before the transfer and double check that all details on the
cheques are precise in advance.
