To initiate a property purchase in Dubai, you will typically need:
– Passport copy (with valid UAE visa or entry stamp if available)
– Emirates ID (for UAE residents)
– Signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Sale Agreement
– Proof of funds or mortgage pre-approval

Yes, buyers under the age of 21 can purchase property in Dubai.
However, a registered legal guardian must sign on their behalf through a notarised Legal Guardianship Document in compliance with DLD regulations.
EliteLux can assist in preparing the Legal Guardianship and act on behalf of the minor to complete the transaction smoothly and legally.

In most cases, the property cannot be registered in your name at the Dubai Land Department (DLD) until the developer has completed registration of the project and obtained the Title Deed from the DLD.
However, interim registration through Oqood (for off-plan projects) may be possible, ensuring your ownership rights are protected until full registration.

No. Dubai Land Department issues only one official digital Title Deed, which is considered the original and is stored securely within the DLD’s online system.
However, you can download or request certified digital copies for official use. For off-plan properties, Oqood registration acts as the interim ownership proof until the final digital Title Deed is issued upon project completion.
