How it works

Simple process. Clear responsibility.

Four steps from first message to a transaction-ready file.

  1. 01

    Send the transaction details

    Tell us if it's a sale transfer, gift transfer, mortgage release, title deed or valuation support.

  2. 02

    We review the papers

    Identity documents, ownership papers, POA, NOC, bank documents, company papers and any missing items.

  3. 03

    You receive the action list

    We tell you what's ready, what's missing and what must be arranged before trustee submission.

  4. 04

    Proceed with confidence

    Once the file is ready you move to appointment, payment, signing and completion.

Why this matters

A trustee visit should be the final step, not the first confusion.

Many people go to a trustee office without knowing what is missing — that creates delay, frustration and extra visits. We check the file first and tell you exactly what has to be arranged.

Avoid missing documents

We review every paper before the appointment is booked.

Move faster

Understand the exact transaction flow before visiting.

Practical guidance

Clear advice without complicated legal language.

Support for agents

Built for brokers handling multiple client files at once.

Document checklist

Common documents required for trustee transactions.

Exact requirements depend on the transaction type, property status, buyer and owner profile, mortgage status and whether any party is represented by POA.

Passport copies

Buyer, seller, owner or authorised signatory.

Emirates ID

Where applicable for UAE residents.

Title deed / Oqood

Ownership proof for the property.

Developer NOC

Usually required before any transfer.

Bank NOC

For mortgaged properties or release cases.

Power of attorney

If someone signs on behalf of another party.

Company documents

Licence, MOA, board resolution, UBO or signatory proof.

Relationship proof

For gift transfers or family-related transactions.

Fees

What a Dubai transfer actually costs.

Government and trustee charges are fixed and published — the numbers below are the ones that appear on a standard resale transfer.

4%

DLD transfer fee

4% of the sale value, normally split or negotiated between buyer and seller.

4,000 + VAT

Trustee office fee

Properties from 500,000 dirhams; below that the fee is 2,000 + VAT.

250

Title deed issuance

Issued electronically on the day of the transfer.

0.25%

Mortgage registration

0.25% of the loan amount plus roughly 290 in admin fees.

~1,300

Mortgage release

Completed at the trustee office in minutes once the bank issues clearance.

0.125%

Gift transfer (first degree)

0.125% of value instead of 4% for spouse, parents and children — minimum 2,000.

Fees are set by the Dubai Land Department and the registration trustee, plus small knowledge and innovation charges. Developer NOC fees (roughly 500–5,000) are charged separately by the developer.

Know the difference

Registration trustee vs the Land Department.

Both complete valid transactions — the trustee office is where most private sales are executed.

Option one

Registration trustee office

Private centre licensed by DLD

  • Executes ownership transfers, mortgage registration and title deed services on DLD's behalf
  • Where buyer and seller meet to complete a resale
  • Appointment usually takes under an hour
  • Title deed issued electronically the same day

Option two

Dubai Land Department / Real Estate Services

Direct government counters

  • Used for developer transactions, Oqood registration and special cases
  • Corrections, ownership record updates and disputes handled here
  • Some transactions must be routed through DLD directly
  • We map your case to the right counter before you travel

Transaction-ready checklist

A single list your client can action in one go.

“One missing paper — an expired NOC, a cheque in the wrong name — sends the whole appointment back to the start. We check the file first so the trustee visit is the last step, not another one.”

A registration trustee office is a private centre licensed by the Dubai Land Department to execute property transactions on its behalf — ownership transfers, mortgage registration and title deed services. Trustee transactions are document-sensitive, and one missing paper sends the whole appointment back to the start. We review the buyer and seller file, map the transaction type, coordinate developer and bank NOCs, calculate the DLD and trustee fees, and hand you a clear action list before you book the slot — so the trustee visit is the final step, not the first confusion.

Frequently asked

A private centre licensed by the Dubai Land Department to execute property transactions on its behalf — ownership transfers, mortgage registrations and title deed services. It is where buyer and seller meet to complete a sale.

The 4% DLD transfer fee, a trustee office fee of 4,000 + VAT (2,000 + VAT below 500,000), 250 for the title deed and small knowledge and innovation fees. On a 1.5M apartment that is roughly 64,700 in transfer costs.

Same day. With the NOC, cheques and documents ready, the trustee appointment itself usually takes under an hour and the new title deed is issued electronically the same day.

Original Emirates IDs or passports for all parties, the original title deed, the digitally signed Form F (MOU), the developer's NOC and manager's cheques for the price and fees. POA holders bring the verified power of attorney.

The property price as a manager's cheque in the seller's name exactly as it appears on the title deed, and the 4% fee in favour of the Dubai Land Department. Cheques in an agent's or attorney's name are refused unless the POA explicitly allows it.

A no-objection certificate confirming the seller has cleared service charges and the developer does not object to the sale. Developers charge roughly 500–5,000 and take about 5–10 working days, and the NOC is usually valid for 30 days — so timing matters.

Transfers to first-degree relatives (spouse, parents, children) pay 0.125% of the property value instead of 4%, with a minimum of 2,000. The reduced rate applies once per property; siblings and other relatives pay the full 4%.

Registration costs 0.25% of the loan amount plus about 290 in admin fees. A mortgage release costs about 1,300 plus trustee charges and is completed at the trustee office in minutes once the bank issues clearance.

Yes — trustee offices accept POAs that are UAE-notarised (or fully attested if signed abroad), transaction-specific and within validity; sale POAs are treated as valid for 2 years from notarisation. We verify your POA meets the current DLD circular before the appointment.

Oqood is the interim registration for off-plan property bought from a developer; the title deed is issued once the project is complete and is what changes hands at the trustee office in resale transactions.
