Reviewing a property sale or purchase agreement
A review should go beyond price and completion date. It should address identity and authority, property description, title deed, restrictions, developer approval, payment schedule, fees, commission, security, termination, compensation, governing law and jurisdiction. The Dubai Land Department emphasises registration of real-estate transactions with the competent authority to protect rights.
Off-plan property and developer disputes
Off-plan agreements require review of project and unit registration, construction status, escrow arrangements, payment and handover dates, permitted changes, remedies and force-majeure clauses. Where delay or specification changes arise, collect the agreement, addenda, receipts, correspondence and official project-status information before defining the claim.
Rental disputes in Dubai
Rental disputes include non-payment, increase, renewal, eviction, maintenance, deposit, refusal to receive rent and interruption of services. Notice requirements and time limits depend on the ground. Rental Disputes Center services have moved to the official RDC portal, while Dubai Land Department publishes service and document guidance in its official frequently asked questions.
Complaints against a real estate company or broker
Dubai Land Department distinguishes a regulatory complaint about a company or broker violation from a contractual or financial claim. Its Complaint Against a Real Estate Company service explains that the system does not decide financial claims or contract cancellation and that rental disputes fall under the RDC. The request must therefore be classified before selecting the forum.
Registration and title-deed disputes
Issues may arise from non-registration, inconsistent unit descriptions, restrictions, mortgages, insufficient authority or an earlier transaction. A review starts with the title deed, plans, party details, agreement, payment record and no-objection documentation. Dubai Land Department is the authority responsible for registration and documentation of real-estate transactions in Dubai.
Brokerage and commission disputes
Review the broker’s licence, appointment terms, scope, event triggering commission and the transaction completed. A commission dispute may be different from a regulatory complaint about broker conduct and may require a separate contractual claim.
Property powers of attorney
Where a representative sells, buys or manages property, the authority must be clear and suitable for the transaction. Review identity, capacity and powers to sell, receive payment, mortgage, assign and register. See the firm’s power of attorney support in Dubai.

Real estate lawyer questions
Can a lawyer review the agreement before the deposit is paid?
Yes. Early review is usually more useful than dealing with a dispute after payment. Provide the agreement, title deed, project, broker and payment information before committing.
Does every property dispute go to the same authority?
No. Dubai Land Department, the Rental Disputes Center, Dubai Courts or another forum may have jurisdiction depending on the property, agreement, claim and relief sought.
Can termination or a refund be guaranteed?
No result can be guaranteed. The route depends on the contract, registration, breach, evidence, procedures and competent forum.
