Whether you’re looking for a new home, an investment, or a mix of both, this city offers unmatched opportunities in lifestyle and return potential.
However the process can feel a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with how things work here. That’s where we come in. At EasyAcres, we’ve walked clients through this process countless times, and we’ve lived through the fine print ourselves. We’ll guide you through each step and ensure you get clarity and zero pressure.
Start by knowing what you can comfortably spend. If you're buying with cash, make sure the funds are accessible in the UAE when it's time to transfer. If you're financing, factor in your deposit, mortgage interest (typically 3–4%), a 2% agency fee, and a 4% DLD transfer fee.From there we can help you think about the different areas to buy in. Not all areas are open to expat buyers and not all areas see capital appreciation. Based on your goals, we can help identify different options whether they are offplan or ready properties.
Buying with a mortgage? You’ll need pre-approval before you get serious. This helps define your budget and shows sellers you’re ready to go. If the property is under AED 5 million, you'll need a 20% deposit. Over AED 5 million? Expect 30%.
We work with trusted mortgage advisors who can break it all down for you, help you compare banks, and fast-track the approval process and guide you every step of the way.
This isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a must. A RERA-certified agent is licensed, trained, and regulated by the Dubai Land Department. They know the rules, the timelines, and the negotiation strategies that get deals across the finish line.
At EasyAcres, we’re fully RERA-licensed and transparent about who you’re dealing with, so feel free to ask for our Broker Registration Number anytime. As part of the paperwork, you will also sign an agreement, which formalizes our role in representing you.
Once you find the right property, we’ll help you make a serious offer backed by a 10% refundable deposit (held in escrow). If you’ve got mortgage pre-approval in place, you’ll be in a strong position to move quickly.
After the price is agreed, both parties sign a Memorandum of Understanding (Form F). This outlines everything from service charges to the transfer timeline. At this point, you’ll hand over:
A 10% deposit cheque to the seller
A commission cheque to us
And give the go-ahead for the legal process to begin
A good conveyancer is your legal safety net. They’ll verify ownership, review the title deed, check for restrictions or unpaid fees, and oversee the full transfer. We work with vetted professionals who’ll explain things clearly and keep things moving
Before you can transfer the property, the seller needs a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer. This confirms there are no outstanding service charges or disputes.
We coordinate this behind the scenes so you don’t have to chase paperwork.
If the seller still has a mortgage on the property, this step protects your position. The seller will get a liability letter from their bank, and then we’ll head to the Dubai Land Department to “block” the property from being sold elsewhere while we finalize payment.You’ll issue four manager’s cheques at this point: one for the seller’s bank, one for the seller, one for DLD, and one for the agency commission.
This is where it all becomes official. You, the seller, and your conveyancer will meet to sign off, hand over cheques, and complete the deal with DLD. Once registered, you’ll receive the new title deed and the keys to your property.
We’ll be with you the whole way.
Congrats—you’re officially a property owner in Dubai. All that’s left is to get your DEWA (electricity/water), AC, and other utilities set up in your name.
Need help with this too? We've got you.
