First, find a buyer and sign Form F (Memorandum of Understanding) that outlines all the sale details. Then, you need to go through a few steps:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your bank for a liability letter, which tells you how much is left to pay on your mortgage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get an NOC from the property&#8217;s developer.

You, the buyer, and others involved must visit the Dubai Land Department to block the property in the buyer&#8217;s name. This ensures the buyer can clear your mortgage, and you can&#8217;t sell the property to anyone else.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submit the buyer&#8217;s cheque to the bank. Once your mortgage is paid off, the bank gives you a clearance letter, and the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/title-deed-dubai-regart\"><strong>title deed<\/strong><\/a> goes to the buyer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both parties go to the Dubai Land Department to transfer ownership.

You have to find potential buyers and follow the rules set by the Dubai Land Department closely. Remember, there are different fees like early settlement, blocking charges, mortgage release, and NOC fees that you need to think about before making decisions. But even with these costs, selling a mortgaged property can be attractive because it&#8217;s flexible and can bring in profits.
