Does the cheque have to be in my name?

Manager's cheques for the purchase are issued in the buyer's name. Your attorney presents and handles them, but the funds are tied to you as the buyer. We confirm the details before completion.

How long is a purchase POA valid?

A purchase POA issued abroad may be valid for up to five years — longer than a sale POA. Windows differ by case and source, so we confirm the exact validity for your situation before you sign.

§Get the type right

A Special POA for buying — unless your agent is close family.

Dubai requires a Special POA that specifically authorises the purchase. A General POA is accepted only when your agent is an immediate family member; for anyone else, Special is mandatory. Buying off-plan adds one more rule — ownership registers through Oqood, so the POA must reference Oqood and name the exact project and unit. We word it precisely so the developer and DLD accept it.

For overseas buyers

Buying from abroad?

You never need to fly in. We handle it two ways and manage the Dubai side throughout.

Sign in your home country

We guide the attestation chain — notary → your country's MOFA → UAE embassy → MOFA in Dubai → Arabic translation — then your attorney completes the purchase here.

Remote notarization by video

Where the law allows, your POA is notarized remotely by a licensed Dubai Notary Public over a secure video call, then issued with a verifiable QR.

Good to know: a non-resident purchase POA issued abroad may be valid for up to five years — longer than a sale POA. We confirm the window for your case.
