Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about selling property fast in Dubai

How quickly can I get a cash offer for my Dubai property?

We provide an initial cash offer within 24 hours of receiving your property details. Once we verify the information and conduct checks, we confirm the final offer, typically within 1-2 business days. See our cash sale guide for the full process.

What’s the difference between a cash sale and selling through an estate agent?

With an estate agent, your property is publicly listed, which can often take 3-6 months or longer. Sales can fall through due to financing or chain issues. A cash sale avoids public marketing and chain risk. Cash payment can be within 14 days from accepting an offer, case by case, subject to NOC processing, mortgage discharge (if applicable), and DLD transfer readiness. See our detailed comparison.

What does ‘cash payment within 14 days’ actually mean?

This is the typical timeframe from accepting an offer to receiving funds and transferring title at DLD, case by case. Actual timelines depend on NOC processing, mortgage discharge (if applicable), and DLD appointment availability. See our timeline guide for a detailed breakdown.

What is an NOC and why do I need one?

An NOC (No Objection Certificate) is a document from your developer confirming they have no objection to the sale. It’s required for most Dubai property transfers. Processing time and fees vary by developer and project. Our RERA-registered brokerage partners handle the application and will confirm the expected timeframe for your building before you proceed. See our NOC and DLD guide.

Can I sell my Dubai property if I’m living overseas?

Yes. Many clients sell remotely from the UK, Europe, and other countries. You’ll need a Power of Attorney (POA) to allow our partners to act on your behalf. We guide you through the POA process and coordinate everything remotely.

What fees will I pay when selling?

We do not charge a public listing commission. Standard selling costs may include a developer NOC fee (an admin fee of AED 500 is common, with other developer charges varying by project) and DLD transfer fee (commonly 4% of the sale price, typically paid by the buyer unless agreed otherwise), plus trustee office/admin charges. If the property is mortgaged, bank discharge and settlement steps may also apply. If a brokered route is used, any brokerage fee is agreed and disclosed in writing before you proceed. See our fees guide for the full breakdown.

How do I know SellPropertyFast.ae is legitimate?

We work with RERA-registered brokerage partners who handle transactions through the official DLD transfer process. You can independently verify the brokerage is licensed via Dubai Land Department’s licensed brokerage company listings, and confirm broker credentials using Dubai REST where applicable before you proceed.
