Who registers the sale in Dubai
A sale in Dubai is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the transfer itself is done at a registration trustee office rather than at the department. The charges you will meet are the department transfer fee, the trustee office fee, agency commission and, on a resale, the developer’s no-objection certificate.
The calculator below pre-fills nothing. What DLD charges, and what it is charged on, is Dubai Land Department’s to publish and ours to link to.
