eWhat happens when I agree to Sell?
Once you’ve accepted an offer from a prospective buyer, an agreement known as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) needs to be signed between both you and the buyer. This agreement highlights the terms and conditions agreed, and the buyer shall pay a deposit of up to 10% of the value of the agreed price, payable to you but held by Smith & Ken until the transfer date.
fHows does your conveyance help me?
Once the MOU has been signed for the sale of your property, the complex and at times stressful process known as a “Transfer”, needs to be conducted in order to transfer the property from your name into the new owners name. At Smith & Ken Commercial, we understand what’s involved, hence the creation of Smith & Ken Conveyance, the first of its kind in the UAE. Smith & Ken Conveyance, provides a professional and transparent service via a dedicated team of transfer specialists.

In turn freeing you from the need to become a property transfer expert. We will deal with everything on your behalf and should you be unable to attend the transfer, we can arrange to complete the transfer on your behalf under a power of attorney.
gWhat are your Commercial fee`s?
Smith & Ken Commercial charges the Seller 3% of the net selling price for the sale of the property.
