What Our Clients Say

Frequently
Asked Questions

These are some of the most frequently asked questions and answers about properties in Dubai.

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes — Dubai’s freehold property regime, introduced in 2002, allows individuals of any nationality to own both the property and the land outright in designated zones. This means foreign buyers receive the same rights as UAE citizens: they can resell, lease, inherit, or mortgage properties. Freehold areas include prestigious locations like Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), and more. Ownership is registered on a Title Deed issued by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), providing legal clarity and peace of mind.


What types of properties can I invest in?

Dubai offers a hugely diverse real estate market. You can choose from:

  • Studios and 1-bedroom apartments in high-rise towers (great for single tenants or couples).

  • Family apartments (2–4 bedrooms) in both towers and mid-rise complexes.

  • Townhouses in gated communities with shared gardens or pools.

  • Low-rise villas in sub-communities like Arabian Ranches and Mudon.

  • Premium villas on golf courses, with full gardens and high-end finishes.

  • Ultra-luxury beachfront or waterfront villas (e.g., Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills).

  • Branded residences, combining hotel-level service (e.g., St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton).

  • Serviced apartments for short-term lease opportunities.

  • Off-plan properties, offering flexible payment plans and early investment pricing.

What does the purchase process involve?

Here’s a step-by-step walk-through:

  1. Choose the property — online, with a broker, or directly from a developer.

  2. Pay a reservation fee (typically AED 10,000–30,000) to secure the unit.

  3. Sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) outlining the terms and payment conditions.

  4. For off-plan purchases, all payments are made into a secure escrow account, overseen by RERA.

  5. Register with the DLD, pay the 4% transfer fee, and receive your Title Deed.

  6. If desired, begin process for a residency visa based on your purchased property value. This system ensures total transparency: funds are protected, and ownership is recognized by law.

What fees and taxes should I expect?

Dubai stands out for its low-cost property regime:

  • No property taxes, no capital gains, and no income taxes on rent.

  • Purchase-related fees include a 4% DLD transfer fee (paid at time of sale) and a broker commission of 2–5% of the sale price.

  • Annual maintenance or “service charges” for community upkeep vary by building but are clearly disclosed.

  • Utilities are billed based on consumption, and tenants pay a small “housing fee” (5% of annual rent) via Dubai’s utility provider.

What rental yields can I expect?

Rental returns are among the best worldwide:

  • Apartments often yield 6–8% gross, depending on location (Marina, Downtown, and JLT lead the pack).

  • Villas and townhouses yield around 5–6% gross. Net yields (after vacancies and management fees) typically land between 5–7%. For investors in short-term rentals or serviced apartments, effective net returns can reach 7–9%, making Dubai one of the most profitable global property markets.

Have property prices recovered post-pandemic?

Yes — prices surged approximately 70–75% from early 2021 through mid-2024, with many neighborhoods climbing past their 2008 peaks. This rebound was driven by strong vaccination rates, business-friendly policies, visa reforms, and inbound spending by international businesses and residents. While global economic headwinds could influence the next phase, growth remains substantial.
