Does this include the agent's commission?
No. The calculator adds only the Dubai Land Department and registration trustee fees as the DLD publishes them. Broker commission, bank and valuation fees vary by provider.
When is the trustee fee waived?
The DLD page for selling a mortgaged property says the registrar's fee for the mortgage is waived if the mortgage is registered on the same day as the sale; if it is registered the next day, a service partners fee of AED 4,000 plus VAT applies.
