Your Questions, Answered with Clarity

Buying Property

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes, non-UAE nationals can buy freehold properties in designated areas of Dubai. These properties offer full ownership rights and are available for both residential and commercial use.

What are the steps involved in purchasing a property?

The process includes selecting a property, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), securing financing (if needed), obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer, and final registration with the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

How much is the down payment for a property in Dubai?

Typically, expatriate buyers are required to pay at least 20–25% of the property's value as a down payment for residential properties. Additional costs include transfer fees, agent commissions, and registration charges.

Selling Property

What documents are needed to sell my property?

You’ll need your original title deed, passport copy, and signed Form A (listing agreement) with an RERA-approved agent. If there’s a mortgage, a liability letter from the bank will also be required.

How long does it take to sell a property in Dubai?

The timeline depends on market conditions and pricing. On average, it can take 30 to 90 days from listing to transfer, assuming all paperwork and payments are processed efficiently.

Investing in Dubai Real Estate

Is Dubai a good place to invest in property?

Yes. Dubai offers attractive rental yields, zero property taxes, a stable economy, and strong investor protections. It is a globally recognized investment hub with growing demand.

What is the average ROI (Return on Investment)?

Depending on the location and property type, Dubai offers 5–8% average rental yields, with some communities exceeding this range.

Can I get a residency visa through property investment?

Yes. Investors who purchase property worth AED 750,000 or more may be eligible for a renewable 3–10 year residency visa, subject to specific criteria set by the UAE government.

Legal & Regulatory

What is RERA, and why is it important?

RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) is the governing body that oversees real estate transactions in Dubai. It ensures transparency, protects buyer/seller rights, and enforces ethical practices in the industry.

Are there hidden fees in real estate transactions?

We pride ourselves on transparency. While there are standard fees (such as DLD fees, agency commissions, and registration costs), we ensure clients are fully informed of all costs upfront — no hidden charges.
