So you've decided to buy a property. Your mortgage in Dubai has been pre-approved, and you've found the perfect unit. Now there are processes and due diligence to complete before that property officially, and legally becomes yours. A conveyancer is appointed to help manage the transfer of a property from the seller to you. In this article, we'll break down the role of a conveyancer, their fees, and the services you can expect them to deliver as part of your property transaction.

Once you've made an offer and it has been accepted, the seller's representative will draft a contract or Form F as it is known in the UAE outlining the conditions of sale. You may also see the Form F referred to as an MOU. Once this has been signed, this is the stage at which a conveyancer can step in.

On the buyer's side, the conveyancer will work with the seller's agent and your real estate agent to prepare all the legal documentation required. This includes arranging NOCs from the developer, deposit holding, final settlements, and right the way through to title registration and transfer.

The conveyancer can also put a process into effect to protect the buyer known as property blocking. If the seller has a mortgage, the buyer clears the seller's mortgage loan with the sale. Property blocking ensures that the seller can then not sell the property to anyone but the buyer. It is important to note that not all banks or lenders will apply a property block as part of the mortgage terms.

Can a conveyancer act on your behalf?

Yes. Your conveyancer can act on your behalf if you appoint them as power of attorney. There are additional fees involved in the drafting, translating, and attesting of a power of attorney arrangement for your conveyancer to represent you and act on your behalf.
