Common questions
Can I buy property in Dubai without visiting?
Yes — by granting a power of attorney to a representative, the entire purchase including DLD registration can be completed remotely.
What is a power of attorney for a Dubai purchase?
A notarised document letting your agent or lawyer sign the MoU, obtain the NOC, transfer funds and register the title in your name. It must be attested by the UAE embassy in your country.
How long does a remote purchase take?
Typically 2–3 weeks for a ready property from signed MoU to title deed.
Is buying remotely safe?
Yes if you verify the title deed, use a RERA-licensed brokerage, and transfer funds only through licensed channels and developer escrow accounts.
Will the title deed be in my name?
Yes — the property is registered at the Dubai Land Department in the buyer’s name, even when bought by power of attorney.
