Off-plan, with the payment plan in dirhams.

Every project shows its payment plan, the 4% Oqood fee and the handover date the developer publishes. By law your payments go into the project's escrow account.

How we work

The whole number, first.

Before a viewing, you know the price plus the Dubai Land Department, trustee, agency and bank fees. Nothing arrives later as a surprise.

Only permitted adverts.

Every listing carries its Dubai Land Department permit number. If a home cannot be advertised legally, it is not on this site.

One adviser, start to keys.

The adviser who shows you a home stays with you through the offer, the mortgage, the transfer and the handover.

Figures you can check.

Every guide names its source: the Dubai Land Department, the Central Bank of the UAE, GDRFA Dubai and the Dubai Legislation Portal.

Care after the deal.

Owners who let through us get rent collection, maintenance and renewals handled by the same team that found the tenant.

Questions people ask

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Buyers of any nationality can own freehold property in Dubai's designated freehold areas, which include Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah, and they do not need a UAE residence visa to buy. How to buy a home in Dubai takes you through each step.

What fees do you pay when buying property in Dubai?

On a ready home bought with cash, about 7% of the price: the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 520 in title deed fees, the registration trustee fee of AED 4,000 plus VAT, a customary 2% agency fee plus VAT and the developer's NOC fee. What it costs to buy explains each one.

How much deposit do you need for a mortgage in Dubai?

At least 20% of the price for an expatriate buying a first home worth up to AED 5 million, because the Central Bank of the UAE caps lending at 80%. The minimum rises to 30% above AED 5 million, 40% on a second home and 50% on an off-plan home. See how mortgages work in Dubai.

Are off-plan payments protected in Dubai?

Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007 requires off-plan payments to go into an escrow account for the project, to be used only for its construction. Check the developer, the escrow account and the payment plan before you reserve; buying off-plan in Dubai lists what to look for.

Does buying property in Dubai give you a visa?

Property worth AED 2 million or more lets an investor apply for a Golden Visa, which the Dubai Land Department and GDRFA describe as ten years and renewable. See the Golden Visa through property.

Which areas of Dubai are freehold?

Freehold areas were first designated in Regulation No. 3 of 2006 and more have been added since. They include every community in our area guides: Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate, Business Bay, Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Creek Harbour.

Tell us what you need

Budget, areas, timing and how you will pay. An adviser replies with homes that fit and the full cost of each, or with a valuation if you are selling.
