Off-plan resale
Sell your Dubai off-plan unit before handover
Selling an off-plan contract is not like selling a finished home. The developer sets the rules on when you can assign, how much must already be paid and what fees apply. We check those first, then price and market the contract to buyers who understand what they are taking on.
- Developer assignment rules checked first
- Contract priced against the project
- Buyer and transfer managed

- 03
A clear plan, no obligation
You get our view and the next steps in plain terms. Whether to go ahead is entirely your decision.
Can I sell my off-plan property in Dubai before handover?
Often yes, but each developer sets its own conditions, usually including a minimum share of the price paid before assignment is allowed. We check your developer’s policy first.
What fees are involved in an off-plan assignment?
Developers commonly charge an assignment or NOC fee, and registration fees apply to the transfer. Amounts vary by developer and are confirmed before you proceed.
Will I make a profit selling off-plan?
It depends on what you paid, current pricing in the project and the remaining instalments. We give you a realistic contract value; we do not promise a gain.
What does the buyer take over?
Typically your contract and the remaining payment plan, paying you for the instalments already made, adjusted for the agreed price.
Is it better to wait until handover to sell?
Sometimes. A completed unit can be sold to a wider pool of buyers, including those using mortgages. We compare selling now with selling after handover.
Can I sell from outside the UAE?
Yes. A power of attorney can be used for signing. We manage the process remotely.
What does Belgrave charge?
A success-only fee, scaled to the price and disclosed in writing before you instruct us.
