Form B

Form B matters because it can become the cleanest written record of the buyer–broker relationship and the agreed fee terms, particularly when matters later become contested. In Dubai, issues often arise when (a) a buyer interacts with multiple brokers during the search phase, (b) a unit is viewed or discussed through more than one intermediary, or (c) negotiations accelerate and paperwork is handled in fragments across WhatsApp, email, and portal submissions. In those scenarios, Form B can be referenced to determine:

• Authority: whether the broker was formally appointed to represent the buyer in discussions and coordination.
• Fee basis: what commission/fee was agreed, whether VAT treatment is specified, and what triggers payment.
• Scope and boundaries: what the broker was expected to do (and what was not included).
• Time and exclusivity: whether the engagement was open-ended, time-limited, or exclusive for a defined period.

Although Form B is not the sale contract, it can materially influence commercial disputes, credibility positions, and the “paper trail” used to resolve disagreements—especially where introductions and commission entitlement are argued.
