Property documents we translate

The title deed is your official proof of property ownership registered with DLD. Translation is needed when the original is in Arabic and you need an English version for mortgage applications, legal proceedings, or international use.

We accurately translate all property details including plot numbers, building names, unit specifications, and ownership percentages.

Oqood is the interim registration document for off-plan properties before the title deed is issued. Translation may be needed for financing applications or when selling your off-plan unit before completion.

We handle Oqood translations for all Palm Jumeirah off-plan developments.

If you cannot be present for property transactions, a POA allows your representative to act on your behalf. We translate Special POAs for specific transactions and General POAs for broader property management.

Remote investors often need POA translation for handovers and resales. See our POA translation services for detailed information.

The SPA is your contract with the developer or seller. Translation is useful when one party needs the document in their preferred language or when disputes arise that may involve court proceedings.

We handle both developer SPAs and resale agreements.

Palm Jumeirah property scenarios

If you cannot travel to Dubai for your property handover, you will need to authorize a representative through a POA. We translate the POA and any supporting documents needed for the handover process.

We can coordinate timing with your representative to ensure documents are ready when needed.

Selling your Palm Jumeirah property through an agent requires POA translation and may require translation of the original title deed, previous contracts, or NOCs from the developer.

We handle complete resale documentation packages.

UAE banks may require English translations of Arabic property documents for mortgage applications. This includes title deeds, Oqood, and SPAs depending on the bank's requirements.

We can advise on typical documentation needs based on which bank you are approaching.

If property disputes arise, court proceedings may require certified translations of all relevant documents. We provide court-ready translations that meet judicial submission requirements.

For legal translation of property disputes, we work with law firms across Dubai.

Understanding Palm Jumeirah Property Documentation

Palm Jumeirah stands as one of Dubai's most recognizable developments, attracting property buyers from every continent. The island's unique structure and prestigious address have made it a focal point for high-net-worth investors, many of whom manage their properties from abroad. This international ownership base creates consistent demand for accurate property document translation.

Property transactions in Dubai involve documentation registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD). These documents are typically issued in Arabic, the official language for government records. International buyers and sellers frequently need translations for various purposes: communicating with banks abroad, satisfying legal requirements in their home countries, or simply understanding the documents they are signing. Our legal translation services meet all DLD submission requirements.

The translation of property documents differs from general translation in important ways. Property terminology has specific meanings within UAE real estate law. A title deed contains particular elements—plot numbers, building identifiers, unit specifications, and ownership percentages—that must be rendered accurately. Mortgage documents reference security interests and repayment obligations with legal effect. Errors or ambiguities in translation could cause problems during transactions or future disputes.

The Remote Investor Challenge

Palm Jumeirah attracts many investors who do not reside in the UAE. Some purchase properties as vacation homes, visiting Dubai periodically. Others invest purely for rental income or capital appreciation, managing their properties entirely through local agents. Still others relocate to the UAE temporarily, then move elsewhere while retaining their property.

For these remote investors, every property transaction requires careful coordination. Documents need to move between parties in different time zones. Powers of Attorney must be prepared, translated, and properly attested before representatives can act. Communication happens through WhatsApp messages, emails, and video calls rather than in-person meetings.

We designed our service with these challenges in mind. Our WhatsApp-based workflow allows investors to submit documents from wherever they are, at whatever time suits them. We coordinate with their local representatives—whether lawyers, property managers, or trusted individuals—to ensure translated documents reach the right hands at the right time.

Developer Handovers and Nakheel Properties

Palm Jumeirah developments come from various developers, with Nakheel being the original and most prominent. Developer handovers—the process of taking possession of a completed property—involve significant documentation. Completion certificates, snagging lists, warranty information, and various forms all change hands during this process.

International buyers often cannot attend handovers in person. They authorize representatives through Powers of Attorney, a process that itself requires translation when the POA originates in a language other than Arabic. We handle these translation chains efficiently, ensuring that the final Arabic POA accurately reflects the authority granted in the original document.

Post-handover, owners may need translations for building management communications, community rules, or maintenance notifications. While not legally required, many international owners prefer English versions of these documents for practical understanding.

Document Types in Detail

Title Deeds and Ownership Records

The title deed (Mulkiya) serves as the fundamental proof of property ownership in Dubai. Registered with DLD, it contains the legal description of the property, the owner's details, and any encumbrances such as mortgages. Title deeds for Palm Jumeirah properties include specific identifiers for the island's unique structure—frond locations, trunk positions, and crescent placements. For complex ownership structures, you may also need MOA translation.

Translation of title deeds requires precision. Each element has legal significance: the plot number identifies the exact location, the floor and unit numbers specify the property within a building, and the stated area determines fees and entitlements. We translate these elements exactly as they appear, maintaining the document's evidentiary value.

Common reasons for title deed translation include mortgage applications with international banks, estate planning involving foreign jurisdictions, and sales to international buyers who require English documentation for their records or their home country requirements.

Off-Plan Registration (Oqood)

Properties purchased before completion are registered through the Oqood system. This interim registration protects the buyer's interest during construction, with the full title deed issued upon completion. Oqood documents contain similar information to title deeds but reflect the incomplete status of the property.

Investors may need Oqood translations when seeking financing during the construction period, when selling their interest before completion, or when demonstrating asset ownership for Golden Visa or residency purposes. The translation must accurately reflect the registration status and any payment schedules or milestone dates.

Powers of Attorney

Powers of Attorney are essential for remote property management. General POAs grant broad authority for various transactions, while Special POAs limit authority to specific actions—a single sale, a particular handover, or defined property management activities.

POAs created outside the UAE typically need translation and attestation before use here. The translation must precisely convey the scope of authority granted. Overly broad translation could grant unintended powers; overly narrow translation could prevent necessary actions. We pay careful attention to the specific language of authorization, particularly for property-specific POAs.

For POA translation services, we handle both directions: foreign-language POAs translated into Arabic for UAE use, and Arabic POAs translated into other languages for international communication or proceedings.

Sale and Purchase Agreements

SPAs govern the relationship between buyer and seller, whether the seller is a developer or an individual. These contracts typically run to many pages, covering payment terms, completion dates, default provisions, and numerous other matters. Translation of SPAs requires maintaining the legal effect of each clause while rendering it clearly in the target language.

Developer SPAs often use standardized formats, but variations exist between developments. Resale SPAs may be more varied, sometimes based on templates from real estate agencies or law firms. We handle both types, adapting our approach to the specific document's structure and terminology. For related agreements, see our contract translation services.

NOCs and Developer Correspondence

No Objection Certificates from developers are required for resales and certain other transactions. These relatively brief documents confirm that the developer has no objection to the proposed transaction, typically because service charges are current and any outstanding obligations are settled.

Other developer correspondence—maintenance notices, community updates, meeting minutes—may also require translation for international owners who prefer English communication. While less formal than legal documents, accuracy remains important for understanding obligations and deadlines.

Supporting Your Property Journey

First-Time Buyers

If you are purchasing your first Palm Jumeirah property, the documentation process may seem daunting. Different documents serve different purposes at various stages of the transaction. We can help you understand which documents need translation and when, reducing confusion and ensuring you have what you need when you need it.

Many first-time buyers benefit from having all transaction documents translated, even when not strictly required. This allows full understanding of the commitments being made. We can prepare translation packages covering the full transaction for a bundled rate.

Property Investors and Portfolio Owners

Investors with multiple Palm Jumeirah properties—or properties across various Dubai developments—often establish ongoing translation relationships with us. Regular needs like tenancy contract translations, bank communications, and periodic developer correspondence can be handled efficiently with established procedures and pricing.

For portfolio investors, we maintain records of previous translations, allowing us to work more efficiently on related documents and maintain terminology consistency across your property documentation.

Sellers and Exiting Investors

Selling a Palm Jumeirah property involves its own documentation requirements. Buyers—particularly international buyers—may request English translations of title deeds, previous SPAs, and other ownership documents. NOCs need translation for some transactions. Exit through the Dubai courts, should disputes arise, requires certified translation of relevant documents.

We support sellers through this process, coordinating with real estate agents and lawyers to provide translations when needed throughout the sales process.

Estate and Succession Planning

Palm Jumeirah properties often form part of international estates. Estate planning involving UAE property requires consideration of both UAE law and the laws of the owner's home jurisdiction. Property documents may need translation for wills, trusts, or succession planning undertaken abroad.

In the event of an owner's death, succession proceedings may require certified translations of title deeds, any wills, and court orders from various jurisdictions. We handle these sensitive matters with appropriate discretion, supporting families and legal representatives through difficult times. Related documents may include death certificate translation for probate proceedings.
