How Buying a Villa in The Oasis Works

1 min read · By Baraa Noura · Updated 9 October 2026

From the first call to the keys, here's each step of buying a villa in The Oasis, and what I handle for you along the way.

1. 1

   Discovery Call

   We start with a call to understand what you need: budget, bedrooms, preferred cluster and style, timing, and whether you're buying with cash or a mortgage.

2. 2

   Sourcing and Choosing

   I shortlist the villas that match, including off-market options, and share their details, floor plans and recent sale prices. We view the best ones and you choose your villa.

3. 3

   Negotiation

   I negotiate the price and terms with the seller's side, backed by recent transactions in the same cluster.

4. 4

   Offer With Documents

   We submit your offer with your documents: Emirates ID, passport and visa, plus a mortgage pre-approval if you're financing.

5. 5

   Signing the MOU

   Once the offer is accepted, buyer and seller sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), usually alongside a security deposit cheque for 10% of the price.

6. 6

   Mortgage Approval (If Financing)

   We submit the mortgage application, the bank carries out a property valuation, and we wait for the final offer letter.

7. 7

   Cheques and Trustee Booking

   We prepare the cheques for the transfer and book the appointment at the trustee office, where ownership is transferred to you.

Cash purchases skip the mortgage step, so they usually move faster. I'll give you a realistic timeline for your case on our first call.
