How Much Does It Cost to Sell Property in Dubai?
One of the first questions sellers ask is: what will selling my property in Dubai actually cost me? Understanding your seller costs before you list helps you price correctly and avoid surprises at transfer. Here is a complete breakdown:
Dubai Land Department (DLD) Transfer Fee - 2% Paid by Seller
The DLD transfer fee is 4% of the sale price, split equally between buyer and seller. As the seller, you are responsible for 2% of the agreed sale price at the point of transfer.
Agency Commission - 2% of Sale Price
RERA guidelines set real estate agent commission in Dubai at 2% of the sale price. At Takween Aldar, this covers professional photography, premium portal listings, buyer qualification, negotiation, and full transaction management - not just a listing.
NOC Fee - AED 500 to AED 5,000
Your developer will issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) confirming the property is free from liabilities. NOC fees vary by developer but typically range from AED 500 to AED 5,000. We apply for this on your behalf.
DLD Trustee Office Fee - AED 4,000
A flat fee of AED 4,000 applies for properties above AED 500,000 at the DLD trustee office, where the Title Deed transfer is completed.
Mortgage Settlement (If Applicable)
If you have an outstanding mortgage, it must be settled before transfer can proceed. Your bank will advise on any early settlement fees. We coordinate the mortgage clearance process as part of your sale.
Our consultants walk you through your full cost picture during your free valuation - before you commit to anything.
How to Sell Your Property in Dubai - Step by Step
Selling property in Dubai follows a clear, legally regulated process. Here is exactly what happens when you list your property with Takween Aldar:
Step 1 - Free Market Valuation (The Most Important Step)
Pricing is everything. Overpriced properties sit on the market while buyers move on. Underpriced properties cost you money you have legitimately earned.
Our consultants provide a free, data-backed market valuation using real DLD transaction records and live comparable sales in your building and community. We tell you what your property is genuinely worth - not what you want to hear, but what the market will realistically pay today.
Book your free valuationStep 2 - Gather Your Documents
To list legally and avoid delays at any stage, you will need:
- Original Title Deed from the Dubai Land Department
- Emirates ID (UAE residents) or notarised passport copy (non-residents and overseas sellers)
- No Objection Certificate from your developer - we guide you through this
- Service charge clearance certificate from your building
- Mortgage liability letter from your bank (if the property has an outstanding mortgage)
- Power of Attorney (if you are selling from outside the UAE)
Not sure what you have? Our team will review your documents and tell you exactly what to collect.
Step 3 - Sign Form A and Go Live on All Portals
To legally market your property in Dubai, a Form A (Listing Agreement) must be signed with a RERA-licensed broker. This registers your listing with RERA and authorises us to market your property on Property Finder, Bayut, Dubizzle, and all major portals.
We arrange professional photography, write your property description, and go live within 48 hours of Form A signing.
Step 4 - Marketing, Buyer Outreach, and Viewings
Your listing going live is just the starting point. Our marketing covers:
- Featured placement on Property Finder, Bayut, and Dubizzle
- Direct outreach to our pre-qualified buyer database - UAE, GCC, and international buyers
- Targeted WhatsApp campaigns to active buyers searching in your community
- Social media promotion across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn
We screen all enquiries and manage viewings so only serious, qualified buyers visit your property.
Step 5 - Offer, Negotiation, and Form F (MOU)
When an offer comes in, our negotiators work to secure the strongest possible price while keeping momentum in the deal. Once you and the buyer agree on price and terms, Form F (the Memorandum of Understanding) is signed by both parties. At this point, the buyer pays a 10% deposit held by the agency.
Step 6 - NOC Application and Mortgage Clearance
We apply for the developer NOC immediately after Form F is signed. The NOC process typically takes 5 to 10 working days. If you have a mortgage, the outstanding balance is cleared from sale proceeds during this stage.
Step 7 - DLD Transfer and You Receive Your Money
Once the NOC is issued, both parties attend a DLD-registered trustee office. The Title Deed transfers to the buyer, the sale proceeds are released to you, and the transaction is officially registered with the Dubai Land Department.
From signed Form F to completed transfer, most transactions close within 3 to 4 weeks.
Sell Any Property Type in Dubai - Apartments, Villas, Townhouses, Off-Plan
Sell an Apartment in Dubai
Apartments are the most traded property type in Dubai's secondary market. Well-priced units in high-demand areas - Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay, and Dubai Creek Harbour - typically attract offers within 2 to 4 weeks. Our consultants have active buyer pipelines for studios through to 4-bedroom apartments at every price point.
Sell a Villa in Dubai
Villas command a more selective buyer pool, and positioning matters significantly. Strong secondary market demand continues across Arabian Ranches, The Springs, Emirates Hills, DAMAC Hills, and Dubai Hills Estate. Our consultants carry detailed knowledge of villa transaction values across every major community - we price to sell, not to sit.
Sell a Townhouse in Dubai
Townhouses in master communities like Mudon, Town Square, Villanova, and Nshama attract both families upgrading from apartments and buy-to-let investors seeking rental income. These properties move quickly when priced within the community comparable range.
Sell Off-Plan Property in Dubai - Before Handover
You can sell an off-plan property in Dubai before handover, subject to the developer's resale policy and a minimum payment threshold - typically 30-40% of the purchase price paid. We advise on SPA terms, resale eligibility, and how to structure the transfer correctly.
Sell a Tenanted Investment Property in Dubai
A tenanted property can absolutely be sold in Dubai. In many cases, an existing tenancy is a selling point for investor buyers who want immediate rental income. We advise on RERA notice requirements, tenant communication, and how to market a tenanted unit to the right buyer.
Sell Your Dubai Property from Overseas
You do not need to be in Dubai to sell. A Power of Attorney allows Takween Aldar to manage every stage of the process on your behalf. We coordinate with DLD trustee offices, handle all documentation, and keep you updated remotely throughout the sale.
How Long Does It Take to Sell Property in Dubai?
Dubai is one of the most active property markets in the world, with over 270,000 transactions recorded in 2025. With the right pricing and the right marketing, realistic selling timescales are:
- Studios and 1-bed apartments in high-demand areas: 2-4 weeks to first offer
- 2 and 3-bedroom apartments: 3-6 weeks
- Villas and townhouses priced competitively: 4-8 weeks
- Luxury properties above AED 5 million: 6-16 weeks (smaller buyer pool, but highly motivated)
- Off-plan resale properties: 4-10 weeks from NOC approval, depending on developer timelines
The single biggest factor in how fast you sell is pricing accuracy. An overpriced property can sit for months regardless of market conditions. Our free property valuation is the most important first step - and it costs you nothing.
Free Property Valuation in Dubai - What Is Your Property Worth?
Getting an accurate property valuation in Dubai is essential before you list. Values vary significantly - not just by area, but by floor, view, renovation quality, building quality, and proximity to key amenities. A unit on the 20th floor with a sea view can sell for 20-30% more than a similar unit on the 5th floor in the same building.
Our free market appraisal covers:
- Comparable sold prices in your building or community from DLD transaction records
- Current active competition - what similar properties are listed for right now and how long they have been on the market
- Demand indicators - how many buyers are actively enquiring for your property type in your area
- Rental yield context - relevant if your buyer pool is likely to include investors
The valuation takes around 30 minutes and can be conducted in person at the property or remotely via video call for overseas owners.
