    How is the sale of a JOP unit legally performed?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A unit owner in a Jointly Owned Real Property has the legal right to sell or dispose of their unit in any legal manner. This right includes the ability to mortgage the unit to any bank or financing institution that is licensed to operate within the Emirate of Dubai. However, any sale or disposition must include the undivided interest in the Common Parts and the designated car parks. The transaction is only considered legally effective once it is recorded in the permanent Real Property Register at the DLD.
