- Emirates ID (if you are a UAE resident),
- Signed reservation form
- Credit card payment form (if paying by card)
What are the total costs associated with buying property in Dubai?

- 4% DLD (Dubai Land Department) registration fee.
- 2%–3% agent commission (secondary market only)
- Oqood fee (when buying off-plan property)
- Administrative fees (AED 2,000–5,000)
- Service charges (vary by building and location)
What is Off-Plan?
A property whose construction has not yet started or is still in the planning phase.
What are the payment plans for off-plan purchases?
Developers in Dubai typically offer flexible payment plans, such as:
- 50/50 (50% during construction, 50% on handover)
- 60/40 or 70/30 with post-handover payment options spread over 2–5 years
- Down payments usually start from 10% to 20%
What are the benefits of buying off-plan compared to ready properties?
Off-plan: Lower entry prices, flexible payment plans, potential for high capital appreciation.
Ready properties: Immediate rental income, more secure investment, no waiting period.
What is an Escrow account?
An Escrow account is a financial arrangement where a third party holds funds on behalf of the buyer and seller during a real estate transaction. Funds are only released once the terms of the contract are met. In Dubai, escrow accounts are regulated by the Dubai Land Department to protect buyer funds and ensure that developers complete projects as promised. This system helps prevent fraud and ensures that payments are used for the intended property construction.
How safe is Dubai for real estate investment?
Dubai is known for its political and economic stability, high transparency, and investor protection measures by the Dubai Land Department. A strong regulatory framework ensures secure property ownership.
