    How are DLD registration fees shared between a buyer and seller?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Unless the parties have agreed otherwise in their contract, the Fee for the sale of Real Property is shared equally between the seller and the purchaser. This 50/50 split is the default legal standard for registering property dispositions in the Real Property Register. However, for other types of registrations, such as usufruct or long-term lease rights, specific percentages apply to each party unless a different agreement is reached, ensuring a clear financial framework for all property transactions in Dubai.
