It is used for selling a property, buying one, leasing it out, managing it, mortgaging it or completing a step in a transaction already under way. The document has to name the property specifically, usually by the title deed number, and set out exactly what the agent may do with it. A property power of attorney written as a general statement about “my real estate” is routinely rejected, because Dubai Land Department and the banks that lend against property both read the document for the one asset it covers. ## What a property power of attorney can cover ### Selling a property Signing the sale contract and the transfer at Dubai Land Department. [Send your details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### Buying a property Signing on the buyer’s side where the buyer cannot attend. [Send your details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### Leasing and management Signing tenancy contracts and handling day to day management. [Send your details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### Mortgage matters Signing with a bank on a mortgage secured against the property. [Send your details](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ## What the document must contain 01 The property, named exactly Title deed number, unit or plot number and location, matching the deed. 02 The principal and the agent Both named as in their passports. 03 What the agent may do Sell, buy, lease, manage or mortgage, stated specifically rather than implied. 04 Any price or condition the principal sets A minimum price, a named buyer, or another condition, where the principal wants one recorded. 05 Signatures The principal’s signature, witnessed and notarised. ## Getting the scope right Dubai Land Department and a bank both check a property power of attorney against the specific transaction in front of them, not against what it might have meant to cover. A document written for “managing my property” is read narrowly when a sale is presented under it. We write the scope to the transaction you actually need the agent to complete, so it is not sent back for being too general. How your property power of attorney is notarised 01 ### Contact us Send a WhatsApp message or book online. 02 ### Share the property details The title deed, and what the agent needs to do with it. 03 ### Draft and check We draft, or check a draft you already have, against what Dubai Land Department or the bank will expect. 04 ### Sign and notarise In person at our Business Bay office, online or at your home. ### What it costs | Document | Fee | What you need | | --- | --- | --- | | Power of attorney, real estate / property | from AED 1,500 | Title deed, passport or Emirates ID for principal and agent | Fees may vary with the document; we confirm the figure before you sign. ## What to bring The title deed or the sale or lease details, and passport or Emirates ID for the principal and the agent. Property ## Property power of attorney Written to one property, for selling, buying, leasing, managing or mortgaging it. General ## General power of attorney Broader authority across several matters, not written to one asset. ![Two people reviewing a property document](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/people-kandura-desk-53542b-scaled.jpg) ## What Dubai Land Department and a bank check Dubai Land Department checks that the power of attorney names the specific property and the specific act, such as sale or mortgage, before it registers a transaction signed by an agent. A bank lending against the same property checks the same thing before it releases funds. - The title deed number matches the property in the transaction - The authority granted covers the exact act being signed - The document is recent enough for the authority involved ## Who signs, and what we check The principal, or their own attorney where permitted The agent, named by passport or Emirates ID The title deed number and property description The specific act authorised, such as sale, lease or mortgage Any price or condition the principal sets A corporate owner’s trade licence and authorised signatory ## Where a property power of attorney is refused A property power of attorney is usually refused for the same few reasons. The title deed number is missing or does not match. The authority granted does not cover the transaction being signed, for instance a POA written for leasing being used for a sale. Or the document is older than Dubai Land Department or the bank accepts. We check the title deed and the scope before you sign. ## Common problems, and the fix 01 The title deed number is missing or wrong Fix: copy it from the deed, exactly. 02 The POA does not cover the transaction being signed Fix: write the specific act, sale, lease, management or mortgage, into the scope. 03 The document is too old for the authority Fix: check the age limit with Dubai Land Department or the bank, and renew if needed. 04 A corporate owner has no proof of signing authority Fix: bring the trade licence and the resolution naming the signatory. After notarisation 01 ### Present it at Dubai Land Department The notarised property POA is checked before the agent signs the transaction. 02 ### Complete the transaction Sale, lease, management or mortgage, within the scope written into the document. 03 ### Keep a copy Keep the notarised original and a digital copy, for the agent and for your own file. 04 ### Revoke it when the transaction is complete Tell us when a property POA should be cancelled. ![A box of filed documents](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/docs-filing-box-17defc-scaled.jpg) ## A related transaction, not covered by the same POA A property power of attorney written for one sale does not extend to a different property or a different act. A new transaction needs its own power of attorney, or an amendment to the existing one. - [Power of attorney overview](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/power-of-attorney/) - [Contact us](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ![A Dubai business district skyline](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/dubai-business-district-ad608a-scaled.jpg) ## Send the title deed.

Yes, once the property power of attorney is notarised and names the sale specifically, your agent signs at Dubai Land Department on your behalf. #### Does the POA need to name the exact property? Yes. Dubai Land Department checks the title deed number against the power of attorney before registering a transaction. #### Can one property power of attorney cover more than one act? Yes, if each act is written in clearly, such as leasing and management together. We check what you need before drafting it. #### Can I grant one if I am outside the UAE? Yes, through our online notary public service, subject to Dubai Land Department’s own requirements for the transaction. #### Does a bank accept the same property power of attorney? Often, if it covers the act the bank needs, such as a mortgage signature. We check this before you sign. #### Can a property power of attorney be cancelled? Yes, at any time by the principal, and we help put the cancellation on record. ## Where to find us Address Empire Heights Tower B, Fountain Street, Business Bay, Dubai Hours Office and calls: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Dubai time.
