Seller FAQ
Selling property in Abu Dhabi: common questions
How do I sell my property in Abu Dhabi with Masterpiece Property?
Request a free valuation, agree the asking price and sign a listing agreement. We get the advertising permit, market the home, run viewings and manage the offer, the NOC and the transfer.
How much is my property worth?
It depends on the building, floor, view, size and condition, and on recent sales nearby. Our consultants assess comparable sales and discuss an indicative price range and next steps with you.
What does a seller pay when selling property in Abu Dhabi?
Listing with us costs nothing upfront. At transfer, plan for the developer's NOC fee and, if the home has a loan, the mortgage release: AED 900 plus AED 55. The sale contract sets who pays the 2% registration fee; in ADGM (Al Reem and Al Maryah Island) the seller pays the 2% transfer fee.
How long does it take to sell a property in Abu Dhabi?
Most well-priced homes sell within 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the area, the price and the buyer's financing. The registration itself usually takes one working day once the papers are ready.
Do I need to be in Abu Dhabi to sell my property?
No. We run the sale for owners who live abroad, and a representative can sign for you under a power of attorney.
What documents do I need to sell my property?
Your title deed, your Emirates ID or passport, the developer's NOC and, if the home has a mortgage, a liability letter from your bank. If someone signs for you, add the power of attorney.
Can I sell my off-plan property before handover?
Yes, once you have paid the share of the price your developer requires for a resale and the developer issues its NOC. The share differs by developer and project, so we check your contract first.
What is an NOC and do I need one?
A No Objection Certificate from the master developer confirms there are no unpaid service charges or other dues on the property. It is needed before the transfer.
Where will my property be advertised?
On our website and on Bayut, Property Finder and Dubizzle, always with an official advertising permit. Under ADREC's Madhmoun rules, no more than three approved brokers can advertise the same property.
Can I sell a property that is rented out?
Yes. The tenancy stays in place and the buyer takes over the landlord's side of the contract until it ends.
