Dubai Property Due Diligence Checklist
Due diligence converts a property story into a file of evidence. Missing answers stay visible until they are verified or priced into the decision.
People and authority
Verify the identity and authority of the seller, developer, broker and any representative. Confirm payment instructions independently before transfer.
- Seller or developer identity
- Broker and company details
- Authority of any representative
- Official payment beneficiary
Property and contract
Match the property description, title or project details, area, parking, inclusions and occupancy with the documents. Read contract provisions for dates, deposits, default, cancellation and handover.
Building and money
Inspect condition and identify known or potential capital work. Verify service charges, arrears, rental evidence, tenancy terms and the full acquisition cost. Finance approval should be checked against the property and completion timetable, not treated as automatic.
Independent review
Use appropriately qualified legal, technical, mortgage and tax professionals where the transaction requires them. A checklist organises the questions; it does not certify the answer.
