Steps at the authority

  1. Client arranges the transfer with both banks and collects the letters and three certified contracts.
  2. Our centre checks the file and submits it at a Real Estate Registration Trustee office; all documents are uploaded to the DLD digital vault.
  3. The fees are paid (e-pay, Dubai Pay, Noqodi or a manager's cheque to DLD) and a receipt is issued.
  4. DLD audits and registers the transaction; the updated title deed / certificate is sent by email.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Most banks handle the transfer online themselves; check with the new bank before booking a trustee visit.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Old bank's no-objection letter missing or expired.
