Property handover in Dubai — stress-free, with experts by your side
Handover is the formal transfer of a completed property from the developer to the buyer. It is a key moment — the point at which you sign the acceptance and the property officially becomes fully yours. A properly conducted handover ensures that the property is in the condition agreed in the contract and that all defects are identified before it is too late.
Handover in the UAE follows specific procedures and timelines set by RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency). The developer will notify you of the handover date; however, the process includes several steps — from technical inspection to property registration and activation of essential utilities (DEWA, chiller, etc.).
If you are on the other side of the world and cannot attend the handover in person, we are here to represent you.
