How can I register shared ownership in the UAE if I co-own a property with others?

To register shared ownership in the UAE, all co-owners must sign a notarised ownership separation agreement specifying each party’s percentage share. The following documents are required: – Dubai Municipality map of the land or unit. – Emirates ID copies for resident owners. – Valid passport copies for all owners, including non-residents. The application must be submitted via an authorised service centre. Once verified, the DLD issues individual title deeds reflecting each owner’s legal share. EGSH ensures proper registration of co-ownership under UAE property law.

Can I obtain a title deed with multiple owners listed in Dubai?

The DLD allows issuing a title deed with multiple owners, reflecting each co-owner’s registered share. To apply, all parties must submit a signed ownership separation agreement, copies of their Emirates ID and passports, and a Dubai Municipality land map. Once verified, the DLD issues an electronic deed showing the defined ownership structure.

Can family members register shared ownership with unequal shares?

Family members can register shared ownership with unequal percentage shares, as long as the proportions are clearly defined in the ownership separation agreement. The DLD allows a family property ownership split with both equal and unequal shares, provided all parties agree and submit the required documentation for approval. EGSH assists you throughout the process, ensuring full compliance with DLD requirements.

How long does the real estate split ownership registration process take in Dubai?

The whole process of ownership share registration in Dubai takes around 25 minutes when completed at EGSH, an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre. This timeframe assumes all required documents are in order and the ownership separation agreement has been pre-approved.

What are the fees for shared ownership registration at the Dubai Land Department?

The official government fees for split land ownership registration at the DLD include: – Title Deed Certificate Fee: AED 250 per ownership share – Map Issuance Fee: AED 120 for land plots; AED 270 for apartments or villas – Knowledge Fee: AED 10 per fee – Innovation Fee: AED 10 per fee

Will each co-owner receive a separate title deed after the split in the UAE?

In the UAE, following the successful registration of split ownership, each co-owner receives a separate title deed issued in their name, clearly reflecting their registered ownership share and percentage. This applies to both equal and unequal property ownership, and whether the co-owners are family members or unrelated parties.

Can foreigners apply for a joint tenancy in Dubai?

Foreigners can apply for joint tenancy, provided they are eligible to own property in designated freehold areas. The DLD permits joint ownership for up to four individuals, regardless of nationality, provided all legal requirements are met and ownership shares are clearly stated in the title deed. EGSH assists foreign buyers by preparing and submitting all required documentation in compliance with DLD regulations.

What Is Split Ownership in Dubai?

Legal Property Co-Ownership With Registered Percentage Shares

Split ownership in Dubai refers to the official registration of a property under two or more individuals or entities, each holding a defined percentage share. This structure allows for both equal and unequal ownership based on a signed and approved separation agreement between co-owners.

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) issues separate electronic title deeds and property maps for each registered share of the property. This process ensures legal clarity, protects each party’s rights, and enables further transactions — such as selling, gifting, or inheriting — based on the individual ownership portion.

Through EGSH, a government-authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, shared ownership is registered in full compliance with DLD regulations and completed within 25 minutes.

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

Thanks to EGSH and to Zara for Excellent service — professional, attentive, and truly pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

Visited for the first time for a property transfer and had an amazing experience with Jessieca! She was professional, helpful, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for all government services excellent customer service!

Personally, I find this the best centre in Dubai. They always go the extra mile. Especially Maria Garcia has help out so much in such an efficient way! Thank you!

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!

I’ve been here for the first time and I can say that this organization definitely worth to come here and make all proceeds with their help! 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!

We had great experience with Amal She is so helpful and awesome She stayed with us over her duty today just to finish her work Thanks Amal

The office is very clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff are extremely professional and polite.
