Rule of thumb: 7–8% of price with mortgage, 5–6% cash. Trustee fees vary slightly by office; some pre-2020 buildings add developer NOC charges.
We handle DLD submissions, trustee appointments, and buyer-side escrow end-to-end.
Answers
Frequently asked.
4% of the property value. Technically the DLD specifies a 2%/2% buyer/seller split, but in practice the buyer almost always pays the full 4% unless explicitly negotiated otherwise in the Form F MOU.
AED 4,200 for ready properties over AED 500,000 and AED 5,250 for off-plan registrations. Below AED 500,000 the fee drops to AED 2,100. Paid at the DLD trustee office at transfer.
Yes — 0.25% of the loan amount, plus AED 290 admin. Paid only if purchasing with a mortgage. This is separate from the 4% property transfer fee.
Residential sales are VAT-exempt. Agency commission is subject to 5% VAT (charged on the 2% commission). Off-plan property is subject to VAT at the standard rate but this is usually absorbed by the developer.
Annual service charges (AED 10–35 per sqft), community fees (villas), utility connections (DEWA deposit AED 2,000–4,000), Ejari (AED 220) if renting out, and home insurance (~AED 1,000–3,000/year).
