Prepare your transfer-day documents

Transfer day usually brings buyer, seller, banks and agents together around one appointment, and a missing document can push it back. Rescheduling may affect the seller's plans, your bank's arrangements and your moving date. Most of what you need is already in your hands; the task is to gather it, check it is current and confirm the list before the appointment. Prepare your passport and Emirates ID, the signed memorandum of understanding or sale agreement, your bank's arrangements for releasing funds if you are financing, and proof of your own funds. If someone acts for you, they need the power of attorney in the required form. A few days before, ask your agent and bank to confirm the final list in writing, then check each item against it.
