Before immersing yourself in property listings online, it is vital to first establish your financial groundwork. Many individuals often start by browsing properties only to realize their dream home surpasses their budget. Remember, besides the deposit, there are additional expenses to consider such as transfer fees, agency fees, sales progression fees, mortgage arrangement fees, and mortgage insurance fees.
We recommend consulting a mortgage advisor for comprehensive insights. Mortgage advisors specialize in this area and can provide a detailed breakdown of all costs associated with purchasing your initial property in Dubai. IQPRO has partnered with a mortgage consultancy company that is prepared to assist you – do not hesitate to contact us for guidance.
With your budget established, it's time to create a list of essential property features. Consider factors like the desired number of bedrooms, proximity to schools or workplaces, and the preference between a villa or an apartment. Flexibility is key here; properties rarely meet every criterion, so prioritize your list in terms of importance.
To ensure a smooth transaction, it is crucial to have your broker provide a detailed overview of the buying process in Dubai, covering aspects from making an offer to negotiations, necessary documentation, obtaining a Non Objection Certificate (NOC), scheduling transfer appointments, and the final handover. Given the significant financial investment involved, thorough due diligence is essential. Feel free to inquire about any queries or concerns that arise during this crucial phase.
When attending viewings, maintain an open mindset and avoid dismissing a property based on a single aspect as your broker might offer solutions. It's common to struggle to look beyond décor that doesn't align with your taste, but remember not to overly fixate on easily changeable factors. As buying a property is a significant milestone, feel free to ask your broker any questions that come to mind – they are there to assist you.
After identifying a property for purchase, determine your offer amount. Present this offer to your broker who will then initiate negotiations with the seller. This phase can be anxiety-inducing, but rest assured that your IQPRO broker will manage the process adeptly and promptly update you on each development.
The Agreement of Sale serves as the initial step in creating a formal contract. It is a binding agreement outlining the terms and specifics of the arrangement between the buyer and seller, clarifying each party's obligations and expectations. Your broker will guide you through this document to confirm your willingness to proceed before progressing to the transfer phase of the sale. Subsequently, the agent will prepare a Unified Form F using the DLD REST App, registering this contract with the Dubai Land Department.
