Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Mortgage Buyer to Mortgage Seller transaction?

This occurs when the buyer is obtaining a mortgage from a bank to purchase the property and the seller also has an existing mortgage on the property that must be settled before the transfer can be completed.

Both banks must coordinate the settlement process before the ownership transfer can proceed.

This transaction involves two banks and requires coordination between:

  • Buyer’s bank
  • Seller’s bank
  • Developer
  • Trustee office
  • Dubai Land Department

The seller’s mortgage must be fully settled before the title deed can be transferred to the buyer

A Liability Letter is issued by the seller’s bank confirming:

  • the outstanding mortgage balance
    • settlement instructions
    • validity period (usually 10–15 days)

The buyer’s bank uses this letter to arrange the mortgage settlement.

If the transaction does not complete within the validity period, the seller must request a new liability letter from the bank, which may delay the transfer process.

The buyer’s bank will issue a manager’s cheque or settlement payment to the seller’s bank for the outstanding loan amount.

Once the loan is settled, the seller’s bank releases the mortgage clearance documents.

The buyer typically needs to provide:

  • Mortgage approval from the bank
    • Passport copy / Emirates ID
    • Signed Form F (Memorandum of Understanding)
    • Bank valuation report
    • Mortgage offer letter

The seller must provide:

  • Title deed
    • Liability letter from the bank
    • Identification documents
    • NOC application with the developer

No. The transfer can only proceed once the seller’s mortgage has been fully settled and the bank releases the property from the mortgage.

A Finance Buyer to Finance Seller transaction typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on:

• mortgage approval timelines
• bank coordination
• developer NOC issuance
• document preparation

This type of transaction requires careful coordination between multiple parties.

A conveyancer ensures:

  • accurate financial settlement calculations
    • proper documentation preparation
    • coordination between both banks
    • timely communication with the developer and trustee office

This significantly reduces the risk of delays or transaction failure.
