How to apply for a property separation in Dubai through EGSH?

To initiate a DLD property separation through EGSH, the owner must submit an official map of the proposed subdivision approved by a planning authority (e.g., Dubai Municipality).

What Is Property Separation or Annexation in Dubai

Property separation or annexation is an official Dubai Land Department (DLD) service that enables property owners to legally subdivide one registered property into multiple parts or merge adjoining plots or units into a single ownership title.

This procedure ensures that every change in property boundaries is formally recorded and recognised under Law No. (7) of 2006 Concerning Real Property Registration in the Emirate of Dubai.

The service applies to all registered land plots, villas, apartments, and commercial units in Dubai. Each request must include a planning map approved by the relevant authority – such as Dubai Municipality or the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) – showing the new property configuration after separation or annexation.

Once approved, the DLD updates its Real Property Register and issues new electronic Title Deeds and e-maps, confirming the updated ownership structure and boundaries. These digital certificates are fully valid for all future sales, transfers, or registrations.

Who Can Apply for Property Separation in Dubai

The service is available to:

Property owners holding valid DLD-issued title deeds.
Developers and companies managing registered real estate projects through the Oqood or DLD system.
Authorised representatives acting under a valid Power of Attorney.

Applications may be submitted by UAE citizens, residents, or non-resident property owners.
All modifications – including subdivision, amalgamation, or annexation – must be registered with the DLD to have legal effect and be enforceable in future transactions.

Requirements for Property Reconfiguration

Before submitting an application, ensure that all documents and technical approvals are complete.

Key requirements include:

Approved planning map from the relevant planning authority, clearly showing the new layout after separation or annexation.
Valid Title Deed confirming ownership.
Accurate contact details of the applicant or representative.
Proof of payment of DLD and map fees before final approval.

The DLD reviews all submissions through its electronic registration system. Once verified, new Title Deeds and property maps are issued electronically and emailed to the owner.

Where to Apply for Property Separation or Annexation in Dubai

Applications can be submitted through any of the following official DLD channels:

Dubai Land Department website or Dubai REST App–for direct submission by property owners.
Oqood portal–for registered developers managing off-plan or project-related units.
Authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres, such as EGSH, directly connected to the DLD system.

At EGSH, applications are reviewed, verified, and submitted on your behalf. Clients receive personal assistance and complete the process in a single visit, with new electronic Title Deeds issued upon approval.

Hello, My Name is Kelvin it was my first time to hear EGSH Emirates Govt from my sponsor. I was assisted By Mrs Maria Claudia Garcia the experience was amazing from the beginning to the End she has been supporting and guiding me through all the process. I am grateful to her and the entire team for the help. I trust and believe EGSH is a place to recommend to family members and friends.

A very hassle free experience from EGSH. Special mention of Ms.Zara who was most helpfull. Her quick response to queries and swift action are much appeciated.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

EGSH in art of living is the best Hub center for every thing that you want in dubai Specially Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI is the advisor and assistance and she is beside you in every step Thank you Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI and EGSH

I recently visited this institution had an exceptional experience! Ms. Maria Claudia took the time to understand my needs and preferences. I really appreciate her support and services.

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!

THE BEST!!! Zara you are as always star

Went there for ejari cancellation. Excellent place. Staff was so cooperative. Ms Maria and Ms Fatima assist me and it was a fast process.

This is probably the best government service hub in Dubai. You come in, asked to be seated, and the staff will come to you instead of standing on the reception and on queue. They will offer you tea and water are available at each table. Really embodies the Emirati hospitality and what seamstresses Dubai is known for.

I was here the morning of this post. The concierge like service with a contact person arranging for you all the difeerent interactions is making the interactuon as smooth as possible. A truly delightful experience and a true commitment to service excellence, thank you for the great experience and for the initiative to present government interactions in this way!

Outstanding service — fast, friendly, and highly professional. Thank you very much!

We were changing the owner and such difficult process was really easy for us with your help and most of the time it was done online. So I’m very grateful to Mrs Zara and her support during all the process❤️

I had an excellent experience with Natalia Baiamonte from EGSH while getting Ejari certificate. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and extremely helpful. Natalia guided me through the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made task feel simple and stress-free. Highly recommend Natalia for her outstanding customer service and dedication!
