Steps at the authority
- Client agrees the change with the financier and collects its letter.
- Our centre checks the file and submits it at a Real Estate Registration Trustee office; all documents are uploaded to the DLD digital vault.
- The fees are paid (e-pay, Dubai Pay, Noqodi or a manager's cheque to DLD) and a receipt is issued.
- DLD audits and registers the transaction; the updated title deed / certificate is sent by email.
Tips that save you a trip
- Tell us whether the amount or only the term changes; the fee differs.
