Off-Plan (Oqood) Registration

This guide covers how to register a sale under the “Oqood” system for off-plan properties before the title deed is issued.

Step 1: Prepare the documents

You’ll need:

• Initial Oqood contract from developer
• MOU or Contract F
• NOC from developer
• Passports & Emirates IDs of both parties
• Contact details
• Power of Attorney (if applicable)
• Latest Statement of Account from developer

Step 2: Fees

• DLD fee: 4% of sale price + AED 40
• Trustee fee:
• AED 5,000 + AED 250 (VAT) for properties ≥ AED 500,000
• AED 3,500 + AED 175 (VAT) for properties < AED 500,000

Step 3: Application

Submit all documents and payments through an approved trustee. DLD will issue the Oqood confirming buyer’s ownership interest.

Step 4: After registration

The buyer officially holds the property under Oqood until the title deed is issued upon completion.

Tips

• Verify developer’s DLD registration
• Review payment plan and timelines
• Keep developer statements
• Monitor transition to title deed
