The Dubai Land Department has actually published the definition. In its <strong>Real Estate Brokerage Practice Guide, Second Edition 2024<\/strong>, RERA lists three smart marketing and sales contracts and defines each in a single line. Contract F is <strong>an agreement to sell a property between the seller and the buyer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n        <p>That definition is worth reading twice, because of what it leaves out. Form F is not an agreement between you and your agent. The broker prepares it, facilitates it and is named on it, but the contract runs between seller and buyer. The agent relationships are handled by the other two contracts in the set: <strong>Contract A<\/strong>, an agreement to market a property between the seller and the real estate brokerage, and <strong>Contract B<\/strong>, an agreement of desire to purchase a property between the buyer and the real estate broker.<\/p>\n        <p>The same guide sets out why these are called smart contracts. RERA states that it has provided them in line with the Dubai government&#8217;s vision of the smart transformation of all provided services, and that real estate brokers must commit to using smart contracts for real estate marketing and sales. Elsewhere in the guide it is put more bluntly still: all brokers are <strong>mandated to use electronic contracts<\/strong> to record real estate sales transactions. The Dubai REST app is named as the place those smart sales and marketing contracts live, alongside broker data, the green list and off-plan project details.<\/p>\n        <p>So the practical sequence in an ordinary Dubai resale is: the seller signs a Contract A with a brokerage so the property can lawfully be marketed; a buyer engages a broker under a Contract B; the two sides agree a price; and the deal is recorded on a Contract F. The transfer is then executed somewhere else entirely &#8212; the guide states that all real estate sales are handled through <strong>real estate registration trustee offices<\/strong>, which represent the Dubai Land Department in the sales registration process.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"rf-hbox\"><strong>TruHauz perspective:<\/strong> The most common misunderstanding we correct is that Form F is a formality to be tidied up later. It is not. It is the point at which the commercial terms stop being negotiable, and the Dubai Land Department has a formal dispute process built specifically around breaches of it. Read the completion date and the default clauses before you sign, not after.

The regulator has built a named dispute service around breaches of it and, when that service fails, points the parties straight at the courts. That is not the architecture of a document you sign to hold a property while you think about it. Everything you would want to argue about later &#8212; the price, the completion date, who bears which fee, what happens if a mortgage discharge runs late &#8212; is far easier to fix in the ten minutes before signature than in a mediation meeting afterwards. Note also what this page deliberately does not tell you: the DLD guide sets no statutory deposit percentage, no commission rate and no fixed penalty for withdrawal. Figures of that kind circulate widely as market convention, and your own Form F may well specify them, but they are terms of your contract rather than rules of Dubai law, and they are negotiable accordingly.\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"background:rgba(255,255,255,.07);border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.15);border-radius:12px;padding:22px 24px;margin-top:18px;font-size:.9rem;color:rgba(255,255,255,.7)!important;line-height:1.75;\">\n      <strong style=\"color:#fff!important;\">Not legal advice.<\/strong> This page summarises the Dubai Land Department and RERA <em>Real Estate Brokerage Practice Guide<\/em>, Second Edition 2024, as retrieved on 26 August 2026, together with clearly marked market practice.

In the Dubai Land Department\u2019s own Real Estate Brokerage Practice Guide, Second Edition 2024, it is listed among the smart marketing and sales contracts and described simply as an agreement to sell a property between the seller and the buyer. It sits alongside Contract A, which is the agreement to market a property between the seller and the brokerage, and Contract B, which is the agreement of desire to purchase between the buyer and the broker. Form F is the one that captures the deal itself rather than the relationship with an agent.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"rf-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-q\" onclick=\"rfFaq(this)\">Is Form F legally binding?<span class=\"rf-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-a\">Form F is the document that records the terms both sides have agreed, and the Dubai Land Department treats a dispute over it as a matter requiring formal resolution rather than a simple change of mind. The DLD Real Estate Brokerage Practice Guide describes an Amicable Settlement Contract (F) service, under which parties in dispute over a Contract F may apply through the Trakheesi system, after which the relevant department holds a meeting to discuss the breach and attempt an amicable settlement. The guide states that where no amicable solution is reached, the parties must resort to the judicial authorities to settle the dispute. Signing a Form F is therefore a commitment, not an expression of interest.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"rf-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-q\" onclick=\"rfFaq(this)\">What is the difference between Form A, Form B and Form F?<span class=\"rf-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-a\">They cover three different relationships in the same transaction. Contract A is an agreement to market a property, made between the seller and the real estate brokerage, and it is the document that allows a property to be advertised at all. Contract B is an agreement of desire to purchase a property, made between the buyer and the real estate broker, and it sets out what the buyer is looking for and on what terms the broker is engaged. Contract F is the agreement to sell the property, made between the seller and the buyer, with the broker facilitating rather than being a party to the sale itself. These three definitions are taken from the Dubai Land Department\u2019s Real Estate Brokerage Practice Guide, Second Edition 2024.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"rf-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-q\" onclick=\"rfFaq(this)\">Where is Form F signed, and is it a paper document?<span class=\"rf-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-a\">It is electronic. The Dubai Land Department\u2019s brokerage guide states that RERA has provided smart marketing and sales contracts as part of Dubai\u2019s smart transformation of government services, that brokers must commit to using them, and that all brokers are mandated to use electronic contracts to record real estate sales transactions. The Dubai REST app is named in the same guide as carrying the smart sales and marketing contracts along with broker data and off-plan project details. The transfer itself is then completed elsewhere: the guide states that all real estate sales are handled through real estate registration trustee offices, which represent the Dubai Land Department in the sales registration process.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"rf-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-q\" onclick=\"rfFaq(this)\">What should I check before signing a Form F?<span class=\"rf-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-a\">Check that the broker is genuinely licensed and that the listing itself is permitted, since the DLD guide requires a brokerage to obtain a permit through Trakheesi for any advertisement or marketing material and requires the permit number to be displayed on the advert. Confirm that the party signing as seller is the registered owner or holds a valid power of attorney. Read the payment terms, the completion date and what happens if either side fails to complete, because those clauses are what the Amicable Settlement Contract (F) process will later turn on. Where the property is off-plan, the guide requires the project to be licensed and registered with RERA and to have an escrow account, and instructs that buyers deposit only into that escrow account.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"rf-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-q\" onclick=\"rfFaq(this)\">Does Form F apply to off-plan property?<span class=\"rf-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"rf-faq-a\">Off-plan sales follow a different route with additional protections. The Dubai Land Department\u2019s brokerage guide requires that any broker marketing an off-plan project ensures the project is licensed and registered with RERA, that an escrow account is associated with the project, and that buyers are instructed to deposit amounts only into that escrow account, with a marketing contract in place between the developer and the brokerage. It directs brokers to validate a project\u2019s registration through the Mashrooi service in the Dubai REST app. An off-plan purchase is then recorded on the interim register through Oqood rather than by immediate title deed transfer.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div style=\"max-width:1140px;margin:0 auto;padding:0 20px 44px;\"><div style=\"background:#fdf0f5;border-left:4px solid #660033;padding:16px 20px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-family:'Inter',sans-serif;font-size:.92rem;line-height:1.75;color:#333;\"><strong>Related reading:<\/strong> The permit that has to exist before a property can be advertised at all is explained in our <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/trakheesi-permit-dubai\/\" style=\"color:#660033;font-weight:600;\">Trakheesi permit guide<\/a>, and the document you receive at the end of the process in our <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/title-deed-dubai\/\" style=\"color:#660033;font-weight:600;\">Dubai title deed guide<\/a>.

It sits alongside Contract A, which is the agreement to market a property between the seller and the brokerage, and Contract B, which is the agreement of desire to purchase between the buyer and the broker.

Contract B is an agreement of desire to purchase a property, made between the buyer and the real estate broker, and it sets out what the buyer is looking for and on what terms the broker is engaged. Contract F is the agreement to sell the property, made between the seller and the buyer, with the broker facilitating rather than being a party to the sale itself.

The Dubai REST app is named in the same guide as carrying the smart sales and marketing contracts along with broker data and off-plan project details.

Confirm that the party signing as seller is the registered owner or holds a valid power of attorney. Read the payment terms, the completion date and what happens if either side fails to complete, because those clauses are what the Amicable Settlement Contract (F) process will later turn on.
