Sell successfully with Davies+Harrison

Yes, provided you meet the developer’s minimum payment threshold (usually 30–40%) and receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to assign the property. We confirm eligibility upfront and manage the entire assignment process on your behalf.

The best time to sell an off-plan property often depends on how far along the payment plan stands and where the project sits in the construction timeline. Investor appetite tends to increase as handover nears, but factors such as developer launches, pricing trends, and global sentiment all influence outcomes. We advise on timing in the initial consultation.

Timelines vary based on pricing, presentation, and demand. Properties that are priced accurately and presented professionally tend to sell faster. Overpricing or poor presentation may lead to extended time on market. At Davies+Harrison, we use DLD data, market analytics, and project-specific intelligence to price correctly from day one and attract serious buyers early.

Working with a qualified, RERA-licensed agent ensures your sale is handled professionally from valuation to closing. At Davies+Harrison, we provide accurate pricing, high-quality marketing, buyer screening, skilled negotiation, and full transaction management — and weekly performance reporting through your Seller Module, so you are never left waiting for an update.

For off-plan resale: Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) and payment receipts, Oqood certificate (if issued), No Objection Certificate (NOC) and related developer paperwork, Emirates ID and passport, visa if applicable. For ready property: Title deed, Emirates ID and passport, NOC from developer or master developer if applicable, tenancy agreement and Ejari certificate if the property is currently let. We review your documents in the initial consultation and confirm what is needed for your specific property.

No. Dubai currently does not charge capital gains tax or income tax on property sales. Sellers retain the full sale proceeds, making Dubai one of the most tax-efficient markets globally.

Once a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed, the full transfer process — including No Objection Certificate (NOC) issuance and Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer — typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the developer’s internal process, financing if applicable, and the completeness of documentation from both parties.

Off-plan resales are typically purchased by two main groups: investors and end users. Some investors seek units in developments that have reached key construction milestones, reducing risk while securing properties in sold-out projects and positioning for rental yield post-handover. End users often seek resales within 6 to 12 months before completion, allowing time to plan their move and arrange mortgage financing for the final payment. At Davies+Harrison, we pre-qualify all buyers to ensure they meet developer requirements and are ready to proceed.
