Understand the agreement.
Form B, also called Contract B, records the relationship between a property buyer and a real estate broker. Form F is the separate buyer–seller sale contract. The two documents have different purposes.
DLD’s Contract B workflow records buyer information, property requirements, financial details, contract duration and commission. The broker submits the contract for buyer approval.
Before you approve
Before approving a Form B, check the parties, the property requirements, the duration, the commission and the additional notes. Read the actual terms before accepting them.
The parties and service: confirm who you are appointing and what they will do.
The fee: check the amount or percentage, VAT treatment and when payment is due.
The duration and other terms: understand the dates, any exclusivity and how changes or cancellation are handled.
The next document: distinguish this brokerage arrangement from the buyer–seller terms in Form F.
A deposit cheque or an offer can create separate questions. This guide does not establish an automatic 10% cheque requirement, a guaranteed right to a refund, or the outcome of an individual withdrawal or dispute. Those questions require review of the actual documents and circumstances.
Make the conveyancing choice explicit
If a conveyancing fee appears in a proposal or draft Form F, ask who will provide the service and what work it includes before agreeing. A broker’s commission, a conveyancer’s service fee and official charges are different items. You can ask to discuss Conveyance’s scope and fee before deciding.
Execution
Property sale execution and title transfer at the Dubai Land Department are coordinated through conveyance.ae.
Prepare for the purchase
Before making an offer, map the buying steps, cash requirements and transfer dependencies. Use the buying guide to see how the stages fit together.
Yes. Read it in full whether or not you choose any further service. You do not need to share a phone number to read it here. A separately agreed brokerage, conveyancing or Form F oversight service may have its own fee.
Can I ask about a lower brokerage fee?
Yes. Share the property, your quoted commission and whether you have approved an agreement. The enquiry is assessed against those details and any existing arrangements. It does not appoint a broker or guarantee a lower fee.
Does Form B replace Form F?
No. Form B records the buyer–broker arrangement. Form F is the separate buyer–seller sale agreement. Your obligations and any commission entitlement depend on the actual terms and circumstances.
Do I have to use my broker’s conveyancer?
Ask what you have agreed and what any proposed fee covers. If a provider is suggested, ask for its name, service scope and fee before you accept. If you have already signed terms, have those terms considered before making changes.
A transfer to discuss now?
Discuss your options with Conveyance. Service scope and fees are agreed separately.
A practical guide to the buyer–broker agreement, conveyancing and your next conversation about Form F.
This is a general information report. No contract has been uploaded or reviewed, and the report does not approve your agreement.
01The brokerage agreement
Form B, also called Contract B, records the relationship between you and the broker. Check the named parties, property requirements, services, duration, commission and additional notes before approval. Form F is the separate buyer–seller sale contract.
Ask for the complete agreement, including any additional terms, before you decide.
Check the broker and company details against the official licensing information.
Understand the service being provided, the contract period, any exclusivity and the process for changing or ending the arrangement.
If you have already approved an agreement, ask for clarification against those terms. Do not assume another enquiry cancels it.
Ask: “What am I appointing you to do, for how long, and which terms apply if my plans change?”
02The commission, in full
Read the actual commission amount or percentage and the basis on which it is calculated. Ask when it becomes payable, whether VAT is additional and whether any other charges apply. The fee should be clear before you agree.
Turn a percentage into an AED figure using the property price used in the agreement.
Keep a written record of whether a quoted figure includes or excludes VAT.
Check the payment trigger, any conditions and the treatment of a transaction that does not proceed.
A lower fee enquiry is not a replacement agreement. Existing introductions, signed documents and agreed terms need to be considered.
Example: AED 3,000,000 × 2.5% = AED 75,000. If 5% VAT is extra, VAT is AED 3,750 and the total is AED 78,750. This is an arithmetic illustration, not a quote.
03Your conveyancing choice
Broker commission, conveyancing service fees and government charges are separate items. If a conveyancing fee is proposed in Form F or another document, ask who will carry out the work and what it covers before accepting it.
Get the provider’s identity, scope and total service fee in writing.
Ask which tasks are included, which are additional and who will coordinate the transfer.
Compare the proposed scope with Conveyance’s service. Discuss your case before agreeing a provider and fee.
If terms are already signed, have them considered before changing the arrangement.
Ask: “Does this charge appoint your in-house conveyancing team? What is included, and what happens if I choose a different provider?”
04Offers, deposits and payment
An offer, a cheque and an agreement can raise different questions. Do not infer an automatic 10% deposit requirement, a guaranteed refund or a right to walk away from a general guide.
Check the actual deposit terms, the intended recipient and the circumstances in which money or a cheque may be released.
Make sure important conditions and commitments appear in the documents you are asked to approve.
Seek advice on the actual documents where there is a dispute or uncertainty about your obligations.
Ask: “What document governs this payment, who holds it, and when can it be released?”
05When Form F arrives
Read Form F and its addenda together. Check that the property, price, payment arrangements, completion expectations and agreed conditions match the transaction you intend to enter.
Have the current draft, any addenda and your questions ready for a discussion.
Identify mortgage, developer, NOC or other transfer dependencies relevant to your case.
Our Form F review is a written document review with one follow-up discussion, for AED 399 + VAT (AED 418.95). It is not a legal opinion.
If you also want full conveyancing, clarify what overlaps and whether any fee credit applies. If you appoint us for conveyancing on the same property, the Form F review fee is credited against our conveyancing fee; official and third-party charges stay separate.
Ask: “What needs to be confirmed before I approve this version, and who is responsible for each next step?”
06Your practical checklist
The named broker, service and duration are understood.
The commission, VAT treatment and payment trigger are recorded.
The conveyancing provider and its scope and fee are explicit.
Any existing agreement has been considered before proposing a change.
Unclear conditions, deposits and document terms have been raised before the next commitment.
These are questions to work through, not a score or a certificate that it is safe to sign.
