Dubai Property FAQ
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase property in designated freehold areas of Dubai with full ownership rights, making it one of the most accessible markets for international buyers.
Do I need to be in Dubai to buy?
Not at all. Many international investors complete the entire purchase process remotely. We handle viewings, paperwork, and legal coordination on your behalf with full transparency.
What types of properties are available?
We offer apartments, villas, townhouses, and off-plan developments across Dubai's most sought-after neighbourhoods, from downtown high-rises to waterfront communities.
Is there a property tax in Dubai?
There is no annual property tax, no capital gains tax, and no inheritance tax in the UAE. The primary one-time cost is a 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee paid at time of purchase.
Does buying property grant a UAE visa?
Yes. Purchasing property worth AED 750,000+ may qualify you for a 2-year renewable investor visa. Properties worth AED 2 million or more may be eligible for a 10-year Golden Visa.
Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner?
Yes. Several UAE banks offer mortgages to non-resident foreign nationals, typically financing up to 50% of the property value. Residents may qualify for up to 80%. We can connect you with trusted mortgage advisors.
What are the expected rental yields?
Dubai consistently offers some of the highest rental yields globally — typically 5%–9% gross per annum depending on location and property type. Some areas like JVC and Dubai South have exceeded 10%.
What is the minimum investment amount?
Entry-level apartments start from approximately AED 400,000 (around USD 109,000). Off-plan properties often have lower entry points with flexible payment plans spread over construction milestones.
What is freehold vs leasehold ownership?
Freehold gives you outright ownership of the property and land indefinitely. Leasehold is a long-term lease (up to 99 years) without ownership of the underlying land. Foreigners can only purchase in designated freehold zones.
Are there ongoing fees after purchase?
Property owners pay annual service charges and a small land department fee. We walk you through all costs upfront so there are never any surprises.
How long does the buying process take?
From offer to title deed registration, the process typically takes 4–8 weeks for ready properties and follows a developer-set milestone schedule for off-plan purchases.
