What is 合同权益转让?
将合同一方的权利和义务依法转移给第三方的法律行为。在迪拜期房市场，购房合同转让须获得开发商出具NOC，并向DLD支付一定比例的转让手续费。
Description
Assignment occurs when a party to a contract (the assignor) transfers their contractual rights to a new party (the assignee). In real estate, the most common forms are lease assignment (tenant transfers their lease to a new tenant) and contract assignment (buyer transfers their purchase agreement to another buyer before closing).
Lease assignment: a tenant transfers their lease obligations and rights to a new tenant (requires landlord consent in most cases)
Contract assignment (flipping): a buyer assigns their SPA to a new buyer before title transfer, capturing the price difference as profit
Mortgage assignment: the lender transfers the mortgage to another financial institution
Off-plan property assignment (flipping) has been a significant feature of Dubai's real estate market. RERA and individual developers have varying policies on assignment. Some allow free assignment after a minimum payment threshold (often 30-40% of the purchase price), while others restrict it entirely until handover. DLD charges a fee for Oqood transfers on assigned off-plan contracts. Investors should review the SPA's assignment clause carefully, as restrictions vary notably between developers.
How to interpret
Assignment of a purchase contract (SPA) is an effective strategy for capturing off-plan appreciation before handover, but it carries risks that buyers of assigned contracts should understand. When you buy an assigned contract, you are stepping into the original buyer's position, including any obligations already incurred. Verify the full payment history, any outstanding installments due to the developer, and any developer-specific conditions before agreeing to an assignment.
For tenants considering lease assignment, landlord consent is typically required. Assigning a lease without consent can constitute a breach that triggers termination rights for the landlord. In commercial leases especially, the assignment clause should be reviewed carefully before signing, as some prohibit assignment entirely, while others allow it subject to specific conditions.
迪拜市场背景
Assignment of off-plan contracts has been a profitable strategy in rising Dubai markets, with some investors assigning contracts for 20-40% premiums before handover. However, RERA has introduced regulations to curb speculative flipping, and some developers now impose assignment fees of 2-5% of the property value.
