Buying a ready property from an individual buyer with a cash payment goes through a simple procedure of four steps:
First, you need to choose the property you want to buy by browsing Prima Living Properties site and choose to display ready-to-move-in properties only to see all the details related to it, it is necessary that you choose the property you want with the assistance of a specialized real estate consultant who is aware of all the offers and projects so that it offers you informed advice based on experience in the Dubai real estate market.

The next step would be signing an MOU or Memorandum of Understanding, and you can download the official application form from the Dubai Land Department website where it could be found with the title “contract F”. MOU is a final agreement of sale but it’s not the official sale and purchase contract. Upon signing the MOU, you need to pay a down payment of 10% of the total value of the property unless agreed on something else.
The following step is asking for a NOC issued by the project developer and it’s essential to do so in order to transfer the ownership and to clear the status of the property before taking any further steps in terms of financial obligations of all sorts including service fees or other payments.
