Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Under freehold laws, non-UAE nationals can purchase, own and sell real estate in designated freehold zones such as Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah and many others. Our team advises on the right zones, title deed registration and due diligence before any transaction.
You can file a complaint with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) or initiate a civil claim in the Dubai courts or DIFC courts. In cases of project cancellation, escrow regulations protect your payments. Our property lawyers have recovered AED millions for clients in delayed and cancelled project disputes.
Under Law No. 33 of 2008 (the Dubai Landlord-Tenant Law), a landlord can only evict a tenant for specific reasons (personal use, sale, major renovation) and must give 12 months' written notice via the notary. If proper notice was not given, the eviction may be illegal. Contact us immediately.
Dubai courts aim to resolve property disputes within 3–6 months for first instance. RERA's Rental Disputes Centre is typically faster — 30–90 days for straightforward cases. More complex construction or off-plan disputes may take 12–18 months including appeals.
Conveyancing is the legal transfer of property ownership. While Dubai law does not mandate a lawyer for simple transactions, unrepresented buyers regularly miss undisclosed mortgages, service charge arrears, boundary disputes or developer defaults. Our conveyancing team ensures your transfer is clean, complete and protected.
