Questions and answers

What is the NOC and who gets it?

A no-objection certificate from the developer confirming there are no debts on the property. The seller applies for it; we organise it.

Can the deal be done without me in Dubai?

Yes, by a power of attorney: notarised in the UAE, or attested abroad and translated into Arabic.

How is the payment made?

By manager's cheques in the names agreed in the contract, handed over at the trustee office.

How long does the transfer take?

The visit to the trustee office takes about half an hour; the preparation — NOC, cheques, the bank if there is a mortgage — takes from a few days to a few weeks.
