What matters is the contract, the parties, the forum specified or otherwise applicable, and the procedural requirements of that forum. Those are assessed on the documents, not on where the purchaser happens to live.
Depending on the route taken, formal authority such as a power of attorney may be required, and documents signed outside the UAE can be subject to specific execution and legalisation requirements. This is usually the part that takes overseas purchasers by surprise, so it is worth understanding early.
Send what you have as it is. Where a translation is required for a particular step, that requirement can be identified and handled at the time.
Time zones, unanswered emails and unfamiliar procedures cause overseas purchasers to wait longer before getting the transaction reviewed — sometimes past the point where the most useful options were open. Distance is manageable. Delay is more expensive.
