Introduction
This article, written in particular for expats, will go through the basics of selling your property in Qatar, the pricing range for properties, the paperwork you need, and what to do next.
Whether expats are permitted to sell their property in Qatar or not is one of the concerns that expats living in Qatar commonly ask. Since some individuals are aware of the possibilities in investing in Qatari real estate, that question is occasionally posed even at the time of purchase.
And indeed, investing in real estate is a chance not to be missed, especially in The Pearl, which has the highest return on investment in the local market, with a 6–10% ROI for property and property tax-free status.
Things to Know Before Selling Your Property in Qatar
Are expats allowed to sell their property in Qatar?
It is legal for foreigners to own property in Qatar. Therefore, foreigners are free to purchase and sell real estate.
Is it profitable to invest in Qatar real estate?
Yes, it is. It is expected that there will be a higher increase in selling volume and, indirectly, pricing in the near future due to the upcoming FIFA World Cup in the last quarter of 2022.
The major reasons for selling your property in Qatar, regardless of its kind (apartment, villa, or even land), are the high ROI (6-8 percent, as previously indicated) and the country’s lenient taxation.
Important tips you need to know before selling your property in Qatar
First and foremost, study the market pricing per segment.
- If there is no hurry to sell the house, take your time with the complete real estate procedure, including visiting time.
- Selling your property in Qatar may be a lengthy process, especially if done only for profit. If you’re in a hurry, don’t go too low below the market. Common advice is to sell the property over a longer period of time while keeping the price competitive.
- Do some market research and create a buyer profile. Start with expats relocating to Qatar and list your advertisement in English.
- Schedule a visitation time and let prospective buyers know when you’ll be there.
- Until the sale of the property is finalized, do not cease advertising it. A verbal agreement is not a contract.
What documents do you need?
It’s time to finish the real estate selling agreement. The process for transferring property is easy and inexpensive. You only need the following documents:
- Original and copy of ID (or passport, if appropriate).
- Original and copies of property deeds. A notarized sales contract, a donation contract, an heir certificate, a judgment, etc. are all examples of property acts.
- A tax certification. The Directorate of Local Taxes in the area where the property is located issues a tax certificate. After the date of issuance, the certificate remains valid for 30 days.
- An energetic certificate
6 Simple Steps To Selling Your Property In Qatar
1. Pick the Right Real Estate Agent
The secret to selling your property in Qatar quickly and for the greatest price is choosing a competent real estate agent. An expert agent will help you and inform you about the real estate market and the selling process. They will also provide you a clear report that recommends a suitable sales price and estimates the time it will take to sell your property given the current market.
Pick somebody who can identify both the flaws in your house and its selling features, someone who is realistic and considerate.
2. Make Your Property Appealing for Sale
You have the best chance of selling your property in Qatar quickly and for a profit, if you make it appear as appealing as you can. The likelihood of receiving offers at the highest price feasible rises as a result. Start a list as soon as you decide to sell your house to keep track of any prospective minor to significant property repairs and other jobs. Select your repairs carefully because it’s doubtful that you’ll be able to reclaim the whole cost of them.
3. Property Appraisal
A property appraisal will be performed on-site by your real estate agent. Proper pricing is essential since it has a significant impact on how quickly your property sells. Pricing is determined by the type of property, location, and development, as well as by developing a plan for the fastest way of selling property in Qatar.
4. Enlist Your Property for Sale
You must sign a brokerage agreement and provide a copy of your title deed before you can start listing your property. In order to sell or advertise any property, a brokerage agreement—a contract describing the agreements between a seller and a broker—must be in place.
5. Advertise Your Property
Time to put your house on the market. Your chosen firm will create a description and take expert images of your house in order to offer it on multiple sites. Ensure that your property is listed on all relevant portals, social media platforms, and other marketing channels to ensure that you reach the broadest audience possible. This makes every effort to market your house as widely as possible.
6. Sign Necessary Documents to Close the Deal
Once a potential buyer is identified, both parties must sign the required documents to complete the transaction.
