UAE DLD Property Transfer Fee Calculator

This is an estimate for general informational purposes only, not legal or financial advice. It does not include other closing costs such as agent commission (typically 2%), the DLD Trustee Office admin fee, or NOC fees from the developer.
Buying property in Dubai incurs a Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee of 4% of the purchase price. If the purchase is financed with a mortgage, an additional mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount plus AED 290 applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who normally pays the 4% DLD transfer fee?
By market convention the buyer typically pays it, though this can be negotiated between buyer and seller — the government does not mandate which party pays it.
Is the mortgage fee based on the property price or the loan amount?
It is based on the mortgage (loan) amount, not the full property price — calculated as 0.25% of the loan amount plus a flat AED 290 administrative charge.
