Yes. Since 2002, foreign investors can purchase full ownership (Freehold) in designated areas of Dubai. Our support includes all required documents, translations, and DLD approvals.

Tax obligations outside the UAE depend on your country of residence and individual circumstances. We recommend consulting a qualified tax advisor in your home jurisdiction.

A 10-year visa granted to investors who have purchased property/properties with a total value of 2 million AED (approximately $545,000). The visa grants residency rights to you and your immediate family members and does not require physical relocation to Dubai.

Yes. The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) requires the developer to deposit all buyer payments into a regulatory escrow account. The funds are released to the developer only according to approved construction milestones.

It begins with a complimentary consultation. We learn what you're looking for—from budget to investment horizon—and present 2-3 suitable opportunities. If you choose to proceed, we guide you every step of the way, from selection through handover and ongoing management.

The process takes 2-4 weeks from offer acceptance to title deed transfer. You'll need a passport copy, Emirates ID (if resident), and proof of funds. Payment is typically via bank transfer or manager's cheque, with the DLD transfer completed at a Trustee Office or through an approved conveyancer.

Developers offer structured payment plans—typically 20% down payment, 60-70% during construction, 10% on handover. All funds are transferred to an escrow account regulated by RERA, and released only when construction milestones are verified. This protects buyers in case a developer fails or delays.

Expect a 4% DLD transfer fee at purchase, plus annual service charges (AED 10-25 per sqm depending on the development and amenities). Chiller fees, DEWA bills, and 5% property management fees apply if you rent out. There is no annual property tax or municipal tax on residential properties.

Foreign buyers can obtain mortgages up to 50-75% LTV (depending on property value and bank). Interest rates currently range between 4.5-6.5% with terms of 15-25 years. Most investors transfer funds directly due to favorable exchange rates and to avoid interest costs.

Yields vary: JVC and International City yield 7-9%, Dubai Marina and JBR 5-6%, Downtown 4-5%. Studios and one-bedroom apartments typically generate higher yield percentages. Short-term rental (Airbnb) can increase gross yield by 2-3% but requires active management and Airbnb permits.
