Want to sell property in the UAE?
A sale POA lets your agent act for you with the buyer, the broker, the bank and the land department or trustee office. We name the property precisely and list only the powers you approve, such as signing the sale contract, receiving the price, clearing a mortgage, collecting the NOC from the developer and completing the transfer.
Tell us whether the property is ready or off-plan, mortgaged or free, and whether the price should be paid to you or to the agent. These details change the wording that land departments, developers and banks expect.
- Sale of ready property or off-plan unit
- Signing the sale agreement (Form F / MOU) and transfer
- Receiving the sale price or managers' cheques
- Mortgage clearance and liability letters
- Developer NOC and service-charge clearance
Want to buy property in the UAE?
A purchase POA allows your agent to reserve, sign, pay and register on your behalf, and to receive keys and title documents. Investors overseas often use it to buy off-plan from a developer or to complete a secondary-market purchase without travelling.
- Reservation and signing of the SPA with the developer
- Purchase and registration of a ready property
- Payments, mortgage application and bank signatures
- Handover, keys, snagging and title deed collection
- Utility connection and owners' association matters
Property management, leasing and disputes
Owners abroad can appoint an agent to lease, renew tenancies, collect rent, deal with Ejari and service providers, and send legal notices to tenants. Separate powers may be needed for court cases or rental disputes.
- Leasing, renewal and rent collection
- Ejari registration and tenancy matters
- Notices to tenants and rental dispute representation
- Revoking or amending an earlier property POA
Signing from outside the UAE
If you are abroad, the POA may be signed at a UAE embassy or before a local notary, then legalized by the relevant authorities and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and translated into Arabic where required. The UAE does not accept an Apostille on its own for this purpose.
Remote notarization may be available for eligible transactions. We confirm the route for your country, the property and the receiving authority before you sign, so the document is not rejected at transfer.
Foreign investors and expats: property POA in English
Many owners and buyers in the UAE are foreign investors, non-resident landlords and expats who are relocating. We draft bilingual English/Arabic property powers of attorney so you understand every power you sign, while the Arabic text meets what UAE authorities expect.
Typical cases: selling a Dubai apartment after moving back home, buying an off-plan unit from London, Mumbai, Moscow or Riyadh, letting a relative complete handover, or appointing a broker to manage rentals while you live abroad.
- UK, Europe, India, Russia, GCC and other overseas owners
- Non-resident landlords managing rentals remotely
- Expats leaving the UAE who still need to sell
- Investors buying off-plan or golden-visa eligible property
- Couples and co-owners appointing one agent
Specific vs general POA for real estate
Land departments, trustee offices, developers and banks usually expect a specific property POA that names the unit, plot or project and lists exact powers. Broad general wording is often questioned. We also handle revocations of older property POAs and new POAs for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah properties where eligible.
- Specific POA naming the property and powers
- Mortgage and bank-specific powers
- Developer handover and NOC powers
- Revocation of a previous property POA
Passport, Emirates ID and fees
Owners and buyers without an Emirates ID can sign eligible property POAs with a valid passport. The receiving authority, developer or bank may ask for additional documents.
Property powers of attorney start from AED 200 for our service, with government and land-department charges separate. You receive a written quote before we start. Acceptance by the land department, developer or bank depends on their own requirements and cannot be guaranteed.
