Key Takeaways
- Form B is commonly used for the buyer-broker relationship; Form I for the seller-broker relationship; Form F for the agreed sale memorandum.
- The form name does not tell you every commercial term or replace the full contract review.
- Read price, deposit, conditions, default, commission, completion, and document clauses before signing.
- Use current RERA or DLD guidance and a Dubai property lawyer for contract-specific advice.
Start with what the document commits you to
Ask which current DLD/RERA form applies and read the completed version—not a blank template. Obtain legal advice before accepting terms you do not understand.

The short answer: three relationships, three documents
In a typical Dubai resale workflow, Form B documents the buyer's relationship with a broker, Form I documents the seller's relationship with a broker, and Form F records the buyer-seller memorandum once the main terms are agreed. The applicable form, fields, and digital process should be confirmed through the current official system.
Clauses to read, not just signatures to collect
Check the property identifiers, price, deposit, payment schedule, transfer or completion date, conditions, default remedies, broker remuneration, exclusivity, and document responsibilities. Make sure the names and authority of every party match the ownership record and corporate or power-of-attorney documents.
- Never leave material blanks or rely on a verbal side agreement.
- Keep a signed copy and the version history.
- Ask who is responsible for each DLD, trustee, developer, or lender step.
Forms do not replace due diligence
A signed standard form does not itself verify ownership, project status, financing, or the enforceability of every term. Have the documents reviewed before signing when the transaction is complex or the consequences are significant. This guide is general information only.
