Can I get a property I have purchased transferred to my name if the New Development is not yet registered or title has not been issued to the Master or Sub-developer?
No. Unfortunately the Sub-developer and/or Master Developer has to be granted title first prior to them transferring it to you even if you have fully paid for your property.
Can I obtain multiple original copies of the Title Deed once the property has been transferred?
Only one (1) original title deed is available per property. Attested and certified copies can be arranged if they are required. Additional copies may incur fees.
What is an NOC?
An NOC is a “No Objection Certificate”.
These are usually required from Lenders, Sub/Master Developers, Community Title Managers (Body Corporates) and various other stakeholders prior to settlement and before transfers can take effect.
MAK Property Conveyancers will be able to fully explain what you require and also assist in obtaining your required NOCs.
Do I have to personally attend to NOCs or attend the final Transfer and Settlement?
No. Not in all cases.
In most cases MAK Property Conveyancers can attend and complete all required matters on your behalf but only if MAK Property Conveyancers has your POA (Power of Attorney). This usually occurs when someone is not in Dubai but has sold or purchased a property.
MAK Property Conveyancers can assist you with this process.
Are Powers Of Attorney (POA) fees, just fees to MAK Property Conveyancers?
No. Powers of Attorney fees are for attendances to various government departments including the Dubai Judicial Ministry and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and related fees that they charge.
Fees are also in relation to Translations that are also required and also in relation to coordination of these matters on behalf of the client.
