They found us a buyer in less than a month
We were struggling to sell our units for over five years, and Steve and Rajvir were able to find a buyer in less than a month. The entire sale process was smooth. Both made sure to communicate all the requirements ahead of time and were able to get us an excellent sale price. From finding a buyer and agreeing on a price to setting up the transaction and executing the sale…

The best professionals we ever encountered
We had an excellent experience dealing with Tommy Burden and Joy Kirby. Both of them were probably the best professionals we had ever encountered. Tommy was responsible for identifying the buyer and closing the sale… Joy was responsible for the complex paperwork… It would be an honor to recommend both Tommy and Joy to friends who are looking to sell property in Dubai.

My first choice if I ever need to move again
Samson was truly exceptional and his responsiveness incredible! He made the selling process of my apartment so easy while helping me to find a new one in a short time. I recommend Samson to anyone looking to buy or sell. He is hands down the best I have met and if ever I need to move again, he will be my first choice.

Your questions answered

Everything you need to know about listing your property with Betterhomes.

How long will it take to rent my property?

Here at Betterhomes, our community brokers are experts at finding great tenants. Once we have found you a tenant, the rental process is very quick. Once your property has become available, you should ensure that the tenant has a move-in permit from the master developer and that you have paid any outstanding service charges on the property.

What documents are required to sell my property in Dubai?

To sell your property, you should have the following documents ready: 1. The original title deed of the property from the Dubai Land Department (DLD). 2. Your passport and proof of address 3. Any documents and receipts relating to the original sale and current state of the property. 4. No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer to confirm that the property is free from any liabilities. 5. A signed seller’s agreement, also known as Form A, when selling the property through a real estate agency. 6. (If rented) A copy of the tenancy contract if the property is rented. 7. (If owned by a company) All relevant company documents.

How long will it take to sell my house?

Having sold over 30,000 homes, we're experts at finding you a buyer quickly and for the best possible price. Once we have found you a buyer, the sales process will typically take between 30-60 days. A cash transaction will be faster, sometimes happening in as little as 2 weeks, with a mortgage based transaction taking a bit longer.

How much is my house worth?

Do I need to involve a lawyer when selling my property?

You do not need to have a lawyer when selling your property, but it is highly advisable to use an independent conveyancer to ensure a safe and complete transfer of the property. A conveyancer will prepare, clarify and review all legal documents, calculate any fees and taxes and ensure that you safely receive the proceeds of the sale. Betterhomes works exclusively with Clarity, a team of expert conveyancers who can assist you with every stage of your sale.

Can I sell my property if it is tenanted?

Having a tenant does not prevent you from selling your property. We regularly sell tenanted properties, with many investors happy to buy them. When you sell your property, the name of the landlord on the tenancy agreement will be changed from you to the buyer. The new property owner will inherit the terms of the rental agreement. They will then have the option to serve the tenant with a 12-month eviction notice should they wish to occupy the property themselves.

How long does it take to transfer a property in Dubai?

On average, a property transaction in Dubai takes around 30-60 days. Use a trusted conveyancer like Clarity to ensure a swift and efficient property transfer.

What do I need to know before renting out my property?

A reputable broker can talk you through the things you should know before renting your property. But, it's a good idea to have an idea of the general steps involved. These are: 1. Getting a property valuation – get a free, evidence-based valuation from a broker. 2. Finding a good tenant - use a reputable broker to ensure tenants are adequately screened. 3. Signing a tenancy contract - protect both your rights as a landlord and those of the tenant. 4. Clearing all service charges - any outstanding service charges could prevent a tenant from moving in. 5. Getting your property insured - cover yourself from all the potential risks from leasing. 6. Hiring a property manager - consider involving a rental management company. Betterhomes are here to make your life easier by guiding you through every step of the process.

Can I rent out my property if I have a mortgage?

You should check this with your mortgage provider. Some providers will allow you to rent out your property at the same rate and terms as before. Others will charge you a fee, ask you to wait a certain length of time, or require you to refinance.

What is a good ROI on rental property in Dubai?

The ROI of rental properties varies significantly based on many factors, such as size, location and current market conditions. But, many real estate experts agree that a good ROI is usually around 5-7%. Speak to one of our Area Specialists to understand current market conditions and how you could maximise your ROI.

Can landlords increase the property rent?

A landlord can only increase the rent at the point of tenancy renewal in line with the RERA Rental Calculator. A landlord can raise the rent by: • 5% if the annual rent is 11-20% less than the average rent for comparable properties. • 10% if the annual rent is 21-30% less than the average rent of comparable properties. • 15% if the annual rent is 31-40% lower than the average rent of comparable properties. • 20% if the annual rent is more than 40% lower than the average rent of comparable properties Importantly, any increase in rent at renewal must be communicated to the tenant at least 90 days before the end of the tenancy to be valid.

Can you rent an apartment to a tenant without a residence visa?

To get the required utilities connected to the property, the tenant will need a valid residence visa. As a landlord, you will also be unable to register the lease and protect your legal rights without it. An individual without a residence visa could consider a short-term rental until they obtain their residence visa. Betterstay is here to help with amazing short-term rental options.
