To buy a property in Abu Dhabi, you will need a set of essential documents to complete the transaction smoothly. For individuals, the required documents typically include a valid passport, Emirates ID, and a proof of residency or visa if you’re an expatriate. If you are financing the property through a mortgage, you will also need bank pre-approval, recent salary certificates, bank statements, and employment verification documents. During the transaction, you’ll also need to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), provide a manager’s cheque for the down payment, and complete registration forms for the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). Working with a licensed agent ensures all necessary paperwork is handled accurately and efficiently.
