What Documents Are Filled in to Purchase a Property on the Primary Market, i.e., Directly from The Developer?

For individuals buying directly from the developer, a copy of the passport is required. Companies need to provide the developer with registration documents, such as Articles of Incorporation, Registration Certificate, Power of Attorney (POA) for the person signing, and Board of Directors Resolution. A property reservation contract is then signed with the developer. Upon handover, the buyer must register the property with the Dubai Lands Department to obtain a title deed, which entails a fee typically amounting to 2% of the property value.
