No You don’t have to be a resident to purchase. You can buy from overseas and everything can be handled remotely if needed. Some of our clients never even visit in person until handover. Though if you’re in town, it’s always good to walk through the options.
Yes, and this is something a lot of buyers ask about. If you buy a property worth AED 750,000 or more, you can apply for a two-year residence visa. And if your investment is AED 2 million or above, you could be eligible for a 10-year Golden Visa.
Besides the price of the home, you’ll need to budget for around 7 to 8 percent extra to cover government fees, agency commission, and some admin charges. Dubai Land Department charges 4 percent as a transfer fee, and agency commission is typically 2 percent of the sale price. It’s worth having this all clear from the start. We help break it down in a simple cost sheet when we work with you.
It all comes down to what you want. Families love Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, and Jumeirah Park because of the schools and green spaces. If you want city life, Downtown and Business Bay are buzzing and close to everything. For the beach and more of a relaxed vibe, places like Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters are hard to beat. And if you’re watching price growth potential, up-and-coming areas like JVC, Arjan or Dubai South might be worth looking at.
For a cash purchase, the entire process can be done in as little as two to three weeks. If you’re using a mortgage, expect it to take closer to six or seven weeks. We help coordinate everything with the bank, the seller, and the transfer office, so it moves along smoothly.
Yes, you can. Dubai has what’s called “freehold” areas whereby You’ve got full ownership. And you can sell it or rent it out whenever you like
Most banks offer financing to residents and even non-residents, but the terms are a bit different. Generally, you’ll need around 20 to 25 percent as a down payment, and the bank will finance the rest. Interest rates are competitive and fixed or variable options are available. If you’re not based in the UAE, you’ll need to share some additional documentation like income proof and bank statements.
Good question, and it depends on your situation. If you’re planning to stay in Dubai for three to five years or longer, buying can make more sense financially. Especially with rents rising quite a bit in some areas. But if you’re unsure or just testing out the lifestyle here, renting first might be the better call. We can help you weigh the pros and cons.
You can do either. Off-plan means you’re buying from a developer before the property is completed. Usually, you’ll pay in instalments during construction with the rest due on handover. Some projects even offer post-handover payment plans. Ready properties are available immediately so if you want to move in or rent it out right away, that might suit you better. Each has its own benefits and we’ll help you find what fits.
We do. That’s our role, really. From shortlisting options to arranging viewings and getting all the paperwork in order. We stay with you through the whole journey, answer every question, and keep things clear and easy to follow. Whether you’re brand new to Dubai or already living here, we make sure nothing feels overwhelming.
