Congratulations, you have just made one of the best decisions of your life! You’ve decided to purchase a property in the city of wonders – Dubai.  Before you start scouring for your dream home online, there are a few important things you must be familiar with. Much like your home country, Dubai (and the United Arab Emirates in general) follows a stringent legal procedure before you can claim a slice of the city for yourself. In this blog, we’ll be covering the RERA forms that you’ll encounter during the buying process. We suggest you get familiar with them to ensure a hassle-free Real Estate transaction!

          What is RERA?

RERA stands for Real Estate Regulatory Agency – the office that oversees the emirate’s Real Estate sector. It’s under the jurisdiction of the Dubai Land Department. If not for the RERA forms, estate deals in Dubai wouldn’t be as smooth and easy! Now that we’ve covered the origin of the forms, let’s get familiar with each one of them:

Form A – Agency Agreement / Listing Form

This is the first form sellers will encounter since it signifies that the property is ready to be listed for sale. Both the seller and the listing agent must sign Form A to make it official. Its clauses include the outline of the agreement, the property details such as financial information, mortgage status, and payment schedules, and instructions on how the property will be advertised.

If the property is jointly owned, all owners need to sign the form. There’s a limit to the number of forms you can sign, though. Seller/s can only fill out three Form As at a time, since the maximum number of brokers they can work with is currently three, although in our opinion it should be only one and  exclusive, in order to guarantee the best outcome for all parties involved in the transaction.

Form B – Buyer’s Agent Agreement

Anyone who purchases a property in Dubai – whether it’s residential or for office use – will be asked to sign a Form B. This formalizes the arrangement between you and your appointed RERA-certified Real Estate agent. You need to list down the following information in this form:

Property type
Property location
Your budget and requirements
Contract termination
Compensation percentage
Agency commission

Form I – Agency Agreement

If the transaction involves several agents, for instance when the property seller or lessor also has one acting on their behalf, Form I is brought out to ensure a smooth and professional relationship between both parties.

Form F – Memorandum of Understanding

Also referred to as the Memorandum of Understanding, Form F signifies that an agreement has been reached between the seller and the buyer. This is signed once the buyer shakes on the property and its price.

Since this is perhaps the most important form in the whole process, Form F is mandatory for any Dubai-based Real Estate transaction. It should include not just the financial details of the sale, but also the agreed upon commission of the agents. The seller, the buyer, and the agents all need to be present when signing the form.

Form U – Notice of Cancellation of the Agreement

If you decide to cancel the agreement midway through the transaction, you can do so by filling out a Form U. According to RERA law, the buyer can terminate Form B by signing a copy of this form. You’d have to provide a reason for the termination as well as the date of effectivity, and you need to notify your agent in written form as well.
