Selling Property in Ajman
Selling a property is not an ad and a wait. A successful sale starts with an honest valuation, reaches serious buyers, and ends with a contract that states clearly who pays each fee. Al Barq is an independent brokerage in Ajman: we prepare your property for the market, market it professionally, and accompany you through attestation and transfer.
We start with the valuation before any commitment — the right price sells faster and protects your property's value. Everything is then fixed in writing: commission, service scope, and who pays which fee. Final decisions and official fees always rest with Ajman's Department of Land & Real Estate Regulation; we accompany you before it, step by step.

FAQ
FAQ
What is the sale commission in Ajman?
The market norm is 2% of the deal value — a market convention, not a law. We fix our commission in writing before marketing starts, and it is due only when the sale completes.
Who pays the registration fees — seller or buyer?
There is no binding rule; the split is settled in the sale contract itself. The prevailing convention is that the buyer bears them, but we write it explicitly into the contract so no one is surprised. As a rule of thumb, total transaction costs usually run around 6–7% of the property price.
How much is the sale registration fee at the Department?
Per the sale registration service on ajman.ae: a minimum of AED 2,500 or 2% for UAE and GCC nationals, and AED 3,000 or 3% for non-nationals. As for the transfer fee, sources conflict between 2% and 4% — we confirm the figure for your case with the official entity before your appointment.
My property is mortgaged — can I still sell it?
Yes. The sale is possible by arranging the mortgage release within the deal. Release fees and procedures are confirmed with the bank and the official entity before your appointment, and we coordinate the path with you step by step.
How long does a sale take?
We do not promise a fixed duration. Speed depends on the price, document readiness, and market activity — an honest valuation from day one shortens a great deal. We give you a frank estimate for your case before we start.
