Checked before you sign
An independent review of your Form F or Tenancy Contract — a second read from someone with no part in the deal. You're about to sign something significant, and a clear explanation of what's actually in it is worth having before you do.
Buying or selling through a broker? Ask them about covering it — see how.
Realcheck reads the Dubai property contract you are about to sign and tells you, in plain English, which clauses are worth a second look.
A Form F, an Addendum, a Tenancy Contract, an Ejari certificate. The review is independent, and each flagged clause comes with best-practice guidance on what to do about it. You upload the PDF. The reading is done by AI, so the report comes back while your deal is still moving, not days later.
No jargon to learn, nothing to prepare. Three steps, one document.
Buyer, seller, tenancy contract, or Ejari: each report is written for exactly what you're signing, not a generic template.
Just the document as it is — nothing to reformat — plus any addendum if there is one. It's read by AI built specifically for Dubai property contracts, not a generic model. No queue of people to wait behind.
Every clause worth knowing about, flagged and explained. Not a re-typed copy of the contract.
Not every clause is a problem. Only the ones worth your attention are flagged. Pick the review that matches what you're signing.
Penalty for Noncompliance with Delivery Date: Deposit forfeited absolutely to the Seller without further notice, upon Buyer's failure to complete within the stipulated timeframe.
Miss the completion deadline in Schedule B and your deposit is seriously at risk. There is no grace period written into this clause.
There is no grace period on the completion date. Miss it without a contractual justification, and your 10% deposit is seriously at risk. Confirm your mortgage approval timeline covers this before you sign.
The deposit is a cheque held by the listing agent as security, not cashed. It's only handed to the seller if you miss the completion deadline; otherwise it's returned to you once the transaction completes.
"Existing fixtures" isn't itemised. Get a signed inventory list before you sign, not after.
In the event that the Seller fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own act or omissions, the full deposit will be refunded to the Buyer, and the Seller agrees to pay the same deposit amount as compensation for the loss of the said property.
If you fail to complete for reasons within your control, you can forfeit the deposit and owe the buyer compensation of 10% of the purchase price on top of it.
Marked "No" on the form. Securing this is your task, not the buyer's. Start now, developer turnaround isn't always fast.
The same agent represents both sides, normal practice, but you won't have exclusive representation unless arranged separately.
You're personally liable if any hidden debt, dispute, or mortgage on the property surfaces later. Worth confirming there's genuinely nothing outstanding before you sign.
The Landlord may increase the rent value annually at a rate to be agreed between both parties at the time of renewal.
This clause does not expressly refer to the RERA/DLD Rental Index. Nevertheless, any rent increase remains subject to mandatory Dubai tenancy law and cannot exceed the applicable legal limit merely because the contract contains general wording about agreeing a renewal rate. Before accepting a renewal rent, check the official DLD Rental Index and confirm that any required notice was given on time.
No reference to the RERA index. Check the RERA Rental Increase Calculator before agreeing to any renewal figure.
Standard split: landlord covers structural/major repairs, tenant covers routine upkeep. Confirm which category any specific appliance falls under.
A flat penalty applies if you break the lease early. Confirm the exact figure and notice period before signing.
Ejari Certificate, Annual Rent: AED 85,000
Signed Tenancy Contract, Annual Rent: AED 95,000
These figures do not match and should be corrected promptly. The discrepancy may cause problems with DEWA, visa-related applications, rent calculations and any future tenancy dispute. Ask the landlord or property manager to amend and re-register the tenancy so that the Ejari certificate accurately reflects the signed agreement. Do not rely on either figure until the inconsistency is resolved in writing.
Ejari-listed rent doesn't match your signed contract. Get this corrected with your landlord or agent before it causes a DEWA or visa issue.
Certificate is current and correctly registered. Nothing to action here.
Spelling on the certificate doesn't exactly match your Emirates ID. Small mismatches like this are a common cause of rejected visa-sponsorship applications. Get it corrected before you sign — amending a certificate that has already been registered is a far slower job.

A Dubai lawyer typically charges AED 2,000–5,000 and takes 2–5 days to review your contract. A free generic guide can explain the process, but it hasn't read your actual document. Realcheck reads the contract you actually signed and surfaces the clauses that matter most, translated into plain English. Because the reading is done by AI rather than booked into someone's diary, it comes back without the wait, free while we're in early access. For most users, that's enough to move forward with confidence — though a lawyer's review remains an option.
Built by Muj Hameed, who spent 25 years creating global technology functions from scratch — now building the AI behind Realcheck.
Realcheck reviews are decision support, not a substitute for independent legal advice. Every report requires acceptance of these terms before it's sent.
What a review catches
Scenario · Arriving from abroad
An expat buyer relocating to Dubai signs a Form F whose completion deadline carries no grace period — miss it and her deposit is seriously at risk — while her mortgage approval is still weeks out. The same form lists "existing fixtures" with nothing itemised. An independent review flags both before signing: confirm the mortgage timeline covers the deadline, and get a signed inventory list first, not after handover.
Scenario · Already based in Dubai
A Dubai resident renews his tenancy the same month his residence visa comes up for renewal. His Ejari certificate reads AED 85,000; his signed contract says AED 95,000 — and the visa process wants the two to agree. A review catches the mismatch before it holds up the visa file, not after. The same contract carries an early-exit penalty with no figure ever pinned down.

For real estate firms
Offer Realcheck as a free value-add for your own clients.
Bundle reviews into every transaction your agents close, whether that's a sale, a purchase or a tenancy. Your clients get an independent review of the applicable contract at no cost to them; you get a value-add nobody else in the market is offering.
It also says something about how you work. A firm that hands its client an independent read of the contract is a firm that isn't relying on the client not reading it — and clients notice which of their agents was comfortable being checked. That's a difficult thing to claim in a pitch and an easy thing to demonstrate once per deal.
