No jargon and no mystique. This page explains exactly what we do, what we charge, where the risk sits and why it is legal in every market we operate in.
A contract to buy a property is an asset in its own right. If the contract says it can be assigned, the person named as buyer can be replaced before completion. We become that named buyer at a price the seller accepts for certainty, then we assign our position to you.
You are not buying the property from us. You are stepping into our place in a contract with the seller, and completing with them directly. That single distinction is what keeps the structure clean — and in England and Wales, it is why stamp duty is paid once rather than twice.
People assume a below-market price means something is wrong with the property. Usually there is nothing wrong with the property at all — the discount is bought with certainty, not extracted from the building.
An assignment clause in the sale contract permits the buyer's rights to be transferred before completion. The seller's solicitor confirms it in writing before we market the deal.
The contrato de reserva names an assignment right agreed with the vendor's notary. The incoming buyer signs the escritura pública directly with the vendor.
A standard, long-established clause in the compromis de vente allowing the named purchaser to be substituted before the acte authentique is signed at the notaire.
For off-plan units the developer issues a No Objection Certificate, and the Dubai Land Department records the change of buyer against a 4% transfer fee.
One disclosed assignment fee per deal, shown on the deal page before you commit to anything. It is included in the price you see, not added afterwards, and it is settled at exchange rather than deferred to completion.
You pay nothing to register, nothing to review a deal pack, and nothing at all if you decide against it. We do not take a commission from the seller either — their price is their price.
Being straight about this is more useful to both of us than pretending it away.
Aria is on the sales desk right now and can walk through any part of this, or put you in front of a person.
