  • By Sharon David

Buying or selling a property is one of the biggest financial moves most people will make. Behind every sale or purchase lies a complex legal process that must be handled with precision to protect your rights. This is where conveyancing services become essential.

At fäm Conveyancing, we ensure your property transaction is handled securely, smoothly, and in compliance with Dubai Land Department (DLD) regulations — protecting you from costly mistakes and legal complications.

Why Every Home Buyer Needs a Conveyancer

Buying a property is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between inspections, negotiations, and arranging finance, it’s easy to miss important legal details. A conveyancer ensures you are protected at every step.

What the Conveyancer Does for Buyers:

  • Contract Review – Ensures the Sale and Purchase Agreement or Unified Contract F is well written, fair, transparent, and compliant with DLD requirements.
  • Ownership Verification – Confirms that the seller is the rightful legal owner.
  • Legal Searches – Identifies restrictions, easements, or other issues that may affect property use.
  • Settlement Coordination – Manages the transfer and arrangement of funds between the parties, lodges ownership changes, and liaises with the trustee office to execute the transfer.
  • Escrow Oversight – When escrow is used, ensures secure and timely transfer of funds with the escrow manager.
  • Payment Guidance – Provides detailed payment instructions for resale transactions.

Why it Matters:

Without a conveyancer, you risk buying a property with hidden debts, disputes, or legal issues. We make sure you get exactly what you are paying for — with no unpleasant surprises.

Why Real Estate Agents Should Work Closely with Conveyancers

For real estate agents, client satisfaction is everything. A delayed or problematic settlement can undo months of effort. Partnering with a conveyancer ensures transactions close on time, keeping both buyers and sellers happy.

How Conveyancers Support Agents:

1. Handling Legal Compliance
  • Reviews contracts, including SPA/Contract F, commission agreements, contract amendments (addenda), and transfer documents.
  • Ensures all paperwork meets DLD or other governing body requirements.
  • Advises on legal clauses that protect both clients’ and agents’ interests.

2. Facilitating Smooth Transactions
  • Coordinates between buyers, sellers, agents, mortgage providers, and developers.
  • Manages timelines and milestones, including transfer appointments.
  • Keeps all parties informed on progress and requirements.

3. Resolving Complex Issues
  • Identifies title deed problems, unpaid service charges, or delays in developer NOCs early.
  • Provides solutions for financing delays, mortgage approvals, or contractual disputes.
  • Prevents deals from collapsing due to overlooked legal issues.

4. Time-Saving for Agents
  • Handles regulatory steps so agents can focus on new business.
  • Tracks deadlines for payments, NOC issuance, mortgage registration, and final transfer.
  • Prepares payment schedules and pro-rata service charge calculations.

5. Enhancing Client Trust
  • Offers professional guidance on complex terms, fees, and timelines.
  • Acts as an impartial party to reduce misunderstandings.
  • Strengthens the agent’s professional image through smooth closings.

6. Post-Sale Support
  • Registers the property in the new owner’s name at the Dubai Land Department.
  • Advises on and facilitates utility registrations with DEWA, telecoms, and other service providers.
  • Keeps transaction records for future reference or resale.
  • Tenancy Transfer & Rent Refunds – If the property is rented, reviews the Ejari tenancy contract, calculates prorated rent refunds between seller and buyer, and ensures the security deposit is properly transferred to the new owner.
  • Updates Ejari records to reflect new landlord details in compliance with RERA regulations.
  • Provides guidance on any post-transfer developer obligations or service charge adjustments.

Why it Matters:

A strong agent–conveyancer partnership delivers smoother settlements, builds client trust, and increases the likelihood of referrals and repeat business.

How a Conveyancer Protects the Seller’s Sale

Selling a property is not just about finding a buyer. There are strict legal requirements to meet, outstanding payments to settle, and documents to prepare. A conveyancer ensures your sale is compliant, transparent, and free from unnecessary delays.

What the Conveyancer Does for Sellers:

  • Contract Review – Ensures the SPA/Contract F protects your interests and meets DLD standards.
  • Title Clearance – Verifies that there are no legal issues that could delay settlement.
  • Buyer Coordination – Manages communication with the buyer’s conveyancer.
  • Settlement Management – Ensures timely receipt of sale proceeds.
  • NOC Procurement – Secures the No Objection Certificate from the developer.
  • Mortgage Discharge – Arranges for the release of any existing mortgage.
  • Outstanding Dues Settlement – Ensures service charges, utility bills, and developer fees are paid before transfer.
  • Pro-Rata Calculations – Prepares reimbursement figures for rent and service charges.

Why it Matters:

Mistakes, missing disclosures, or unpaid dues can lead to disputes, lower sale prices, or even contract cancellations. Our role is to ensure a compliant, timely, and stress-free sale.
