Dubai real estate: judged on registered transactions, not asking prices.

Independent guidance on apartments and villas for sale in Dubai, from first shortlist to registered transfer: what the Dubai Land Department process actually involves, the roughly 6% above the price, and the service charges that decide a yield. For buyers abroad and for residents buying where they already live.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Foreign nationals can own property outright (freehold) in Dubai’s designated freehold areas, registered with the Dubai Land Department.

How much do I need to invest for the Golden Visa?

A property investment valued at AED 2 million or more can qualify an investor for a 10-year UAE Golden Visa, subject to current regulations and approval by the relevant authorities.

Are there property or capital gains taxes in Dubai?

No. Dubai levies no annual property tax and no capital gains tax on property.

What rental yields can I expect?

Gross rental yields commonly range from around 6 to 8 percent, depending on location, property type and management.

Is my money protected when buying off-plan?

Yes. Off-plan developments are RERA-regulated and buyer payments are held in government-regulated escrow accounts released against construction milestones.

Do you also help sellers?

Yes. We advise on valuation and pricing, market your property discreetly to qualified international buyers, and negotiate on your behalf through to a registered transfer.
