Form F is the final sales contract between a buyer and seller in Dubai. It is created and signed on the Dubai REST App, the official platform of the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
Think of Form F as the main agreement that confirms:
- the property price
- the payment terms
- the buyer and seller details
- the property information
- the obligations of both sides
Once Form F is signed, the deal becomes legally binding.
Why Does Dubai Use Form F?
Dubai uses Form F to ensure property transactions are:
- Transparent
- Legally safe
- Regulated by the government
- Free from price manipulation or last-minute changes
It protects both parties from misunderstandings and disputes.
Real-Life Example
Example Scenario:
You want to buy an apartment in Downtown Dubai
Step 1:
You negotiate with the seller and agree on AED 1.8 million
Step 2:
Your broker prepares Form F on the Dubai REST App
Step 3:
Form F includes details like:
- Property: 2-bedroom apartment in Downtown
- Price: AED 1.8 million (final)
- Payment terms: 10% booking + 90% during transfer
- Handover condition: Vacant on transfer
- Both party details: names, passport numbers, etc.
Step 4:
You and the seller sign it digitally through the Dubai REST app
Step 5:
Now the deal is official so the seller cannot increase the price, and you cannot back out without consequences
Step 6:
The process moves to:
- Bank mortgage (if needed)
- Developer NOC
- Final transfer at DLD
This example shows how Form F makes the entire deal clear, clean, and safe.
What Happens Before Form F?
Before creating Form F, two other forms are required:
- Form A – signed by the seller (authorising a broker to market the property)
- Form B – signed by the buyer (confirming buyer representation)
After these two are ready, Form F is generated.
What Happens After Form F?
After Form F is signed:
- Price is locked
- Terms are fixed
- Deal becomes legally binding
- Both parties move to transfer and registration
Dubai REST App tracks every stage and ensures compliance.
Simple Example of Why Form F Protects You
Without Form F:
- A seller could increase the price last minute.
- A buyer could walk away without reason.
With Form F:
- Everything is documented and protected legally
- No one can change the terms without mutual agreement
Final Summary
Form F is the official Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) used in Dubai real estate, generated through the Dubai REST App. It defines the price, terms, and all important details of the property transaction.
Once signed, it becomes a legally binding contract, ensuring a safe and transparent buying and selling process. Form F is essential for every property sale in Dubai whether it’s an apartment, villa, or land plot.
