Registering a Dubai sale costs 4% of the sale value, and a mortgage 0.25% of the debt (Executive Council Resolution No. 30 of 2013). Unless the parties agree otherwise, the sale fee is shared equally.
"The buyer pays the 4%" is market practice, written into the deal. The resolution's default rule (Art. 3(1)) is an equal split. DLD and trustee offices also charge service and admin fees not shown here; check DLD's current schedule before quoting a client.
