Real Estate Translation in Dubai

Property Documentation Experts

Dubai's property market involves buyers, sellers, and investors from around the world. We translate the documents that make property transactions possible, from initial SPAs to title deed transfers.

Understanding the Real Estate Document Landscape

Property transactions in Dubai involve multiple authorities:

Dubai Land Department

Registration and ownership records

Developers

Sales agreements and handover docs

Banks

Mortgage processing documents

Each party has specific requirements. Missing or incorrect documentation causes delays.

International Buyers

Additional requirements include:

Home country documents may need attestation
Powers of Attorney for remote transactions
Marriage certificates for joint ownership
Company documents for corporate purchases

The Role of MOJ-Certified Translation

Dubai Land Department requires Arabic documentation. Foreign-language SPAs, title deeds, and supporting documents must be translated by MOJ-licensed translators.

Banks similarly require certified translations for mortgage applications. This includes personal documents, income documentation, and corporate documents for company-owned properties.
