Both parties sign a legally binding contract, an Agreement Of Sale (also known as an MOU – Memorandum of Understanding). A 10% deposit is paid to MIRE, held in trust on your behalf.

Seller Applies for Liability Letter (mortgage statement)
You will need to request your bank to provide the exact amount owing to them. This process typically takes approximately a week and has a shelf life of 14 days from date of issuance. This letter typically costs AED 1000.00.

Buyer Pays Finance Off
Where you are unable to do so, your Buyer settles your finance, naturally, deducted from the purchase amount owed on Transfer. Prior to your Buyer making payment, both parties (or their appointed Power Of Attorney), agree to meet in the DLD. A ‘Manual Transfer’ is now executed. This process requires the Buyer issuing payments (as Managers Cheques) to the your bank (liability amount), the outstanding balance payable to the you (your equity) and all Transfer & Professional fees. With the exception of the liability amount, all Managers Cheques remain in the custody of the DLD until transfer is complete. The DLD now register the property in the name of the Buyer. You are now comfortable the Buyer has made all payments, and the Buyer is secure in the knowledge that the property is registered to them – with Title Deed being released upon completion. Both parties now visit the your bank and the Managers Cheque for the liability is released. Clearance of your loan takes approximately one week, where after a clearance certificate is issued to the Buyer – this is required to apply for the NOC. As with all stages of the home buying process, MIRE will guide you, managing all of your exposure.
