What is 买卖合同?
买卖双方之间设定成交价格、付款安排、交割条件及各方权利义务的具有法律约束力的协议，是整个房产交易的法律基础文件，在迪拜通常以RERA标准Form F（MOU）形式呈现。
Description
A contract of sale (also called a sale and purchase agreement or SPA) is the legally binding document that establishes the terms of a property transaction between buyer and seller. It specifies the purchase price, payment schedule, property description, closing date, representations, warranties, and any contingencies or conditions.
Dubai uses several contractual documents depending on the transaction type. For resale properties, the MOU (Form F) serves as the initial binding agreement, followed by the DLD transfer process. For off-plan purchases, the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) is signed with the developer and registered with the DLD. Both documents are governed by UAE civil law and RERA regulations.
Resale: MOU (Form F) then DLD Transfer (Form A/B)
Off-plan: SPA with developer then Oqood registration then title deed on completion
All contracts should be reviewed by a qualified UAE property lawyer
How to interpret
A sale contract is a document of permanent legal consequence. Read it carefully before signing, or have a qualified lawyer read it for you. The cost of a property lawyer, typically AED 5,000 to 15,000, is trivial relative to the financial commitment involved. Signing without understanding what you have agreed to is a recoverable position only through expensive litigation.
Pay particular attention to: penalty clauses for late payment, representations and warranties about the property's condition and title, what happens if either party defaults, and any clauses that limit your rights or remedies. These sections have the most direct impact on your risk exposure.
迪拜市场背景
Dubai uses different contractual documents depending on the transaction type. For resale properties, the MOU (Form F) serves as the initial binding agreement followed by the DLD transfer process. For off-plan purchases, the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) is signed with the developer and registered with the DLD. Both document types are governed by UAE civil law and RERA regulations.
Dubai's MOU (Form F) is a RERA-approved standard form, which provides some baseline protection for buyers. However, it includes schedule sections where specific terms, deposits, and conditions are agreed between the parties. These schedule terms are fully negotiable and where the most important buyer protections, such as financing contingencies, are inserted.
