HOW TO RESALE OFF-PLAN PROPERTY IN DUBAI
To start the selling process you must have:
ā Certificate of ownership for property under construction ā Oqood
It is received by the developer and sent to the buyer by email.
ā No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer
You must pay a certain percentage of the property value. Usually, 30%, unless otherwise specified in the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA).
SALES PROCESS
The agent lists the property on real estate portals
ā
When a buyer appears, the transaction process starts
ā
Several documents are signed, and can be done remotely:
⢠Form F or MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) ā an agreement between the seller and the buyer
⢠Agreement between the buyer and the agent, as well as between the seller and the agent
⢠Addendum to contact ā an additional agreement where the costs of the parties are signed
ā
The buyer deposits 10% to guarantee the transaction
ā
Registration of NOC at the developer's office
ā
Registration of the transaction in the Trustee office ā a licensed office where the sale, exchange of funds and re-registration takes place
SELLER'S EXPENSES
ā Agent commission 2%
ā NOC ~$1,400
ā Power of attorney (POA), if the transaction takes place remotely ~$550
WHAT IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID THE REQUIRED % TO THE DEVELOPER
The buyer can pay it for the seller, however, the buyer must have a sufficient incentive:
ā Low price
ā High demanded unit
For example, you buy an apartment for $1 million at the launch, invest 40%, that is, $400,000, and resell it for $1.2 million at a later stage of construction.
Profitability: 200,000 Ć· 400,000 = 50%
But you should be financially prepared as reselling may take time. You might have to pay more than 30% or even full cost to the developer while you wait for a buyer or a good resell price.
