Know before you buy
Six mistakes we help investors avoid
Most costly errors in Dubai are not about the market. They happen in the details of a single deal.
Overpaying on resale
Asking prices can sit well above what units actually trade for. We check every offer against DLD-registered sales in the same building.
Forgetting purchase costs
The 4% DLD transfer fee, trustee and admin fees and, on resale, an agency fee come on top of the price.
Ignoring service charges
Annual charges are billed per square foot and differ widely between buildings. They are the gap between gross and net yield.
Off-plan resale terms
Developers usually require a minimum share of the price paid before you can resell. Know the rule before you plan an exit.
Unverified brokers
Every Dubai agent must hold a RERA broker card. Ask for the BRN and verify it in the official Dubai REST app.
Buying the brochure
Renders sell the building. The developer's delivery record protects your money, so we check it first.

FAQ
Questions investors ask us
The short answers. For your own case, talk to us directly.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. In designated freehold areas, which include every community on this page, foreign buyers can own property 100% in their own name. You don't need UAE residency to buy.
What costs come on top of the purchase price?
Plan for the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee plus trustee and admin fees. On resale there is usually a 2% agency fee plus VAT. With a mortgage, add the 0.25% mortgage registration fee and bank charges. The calculator above shows the full breakdown.
Can non-residents get a mortgage?
Yes, several UAE banks lend to non-residents. Expect a larger down payment than residents pay, often around 40–50% of the price, depending on the bank and your profile.
Are there property or rental income taxes?
Dubai has no annual property tax and no personal income tax on rental income or capital gains. Your home country may still tax this income, so check with a tax advisor there.
Is buying off-plan safe?
Off-plan projects must be registered with RERA, and your payments go into a regulated escrow account that is released to the developer as construction progresses. The developer's delivery record matters just as much, so we check it before recommending a project.
Can I buy without coming to Dubai?
Yes. Documents can be signed digitally or through a power of attorney, and payments are made by international transfer. Many of our clients complete their purchase from abroad.
How do I qualify for the Golden Visa?
Own property worth at least AED 2 million, in one unit or across several. Use the eligibility check above or ask us to review your case. Final approval rests with the UAE authorities.
Can you help me sell my property?
Yes. We start with a free valuation based on recent DLD sales in your building, then market the property and negotiate the sale for you.
