Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is a Smart Deal?

A Smart Deal is a property evaluated and selected for genuine value advantage, whether through pricing below market comparables, flexible payment terms, high rental yield potential, or early access to pre-launch inventory. Every listing in our collection meets at least one of our six value criteria.

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase freehold property in designated areas across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates, with no restrictions on nationality. Any property purchase now qualifies for a renewable two-year residency visa, and properties of AED 2 million or more grant the ten-year Golden Visa.

How do payment plans work for off-plan properties?

Off-plan payment plans vary by developer. Common structures include 70/30 (70% during construction, 30% on handover), 60/40, and 20/50/30. Some developers offer extended post-handover plans of up to five years. We negotiate the best available terms on your behalf.

What fees should I expect when purchasing?

In Dubai, the primary cost is the 4% DLD (Dubai Land Department) registration fee. Additional costs include approximately 2% for agency commission, AED 4,000 to 5,000 for admin and trustee fees, and mortgage registration if applicable. Total transaction costs are typically 6 to 7% of the property value.

Do you charge any fees for your service?

Our advisory service for buyers is complimentary. We are compensated by the developer or seller side of the transaction. This means you receive professional guidance, market analysis, and negotiation support at no additional cost.

Is Dubai real estate a good investment in 2026?

Dubai's market continues to perform strongly, supported by zero personal income tax, Golden Visa eligibility for property of AED 2M and above, a growing population, and limited prime land supply. Gross rental yields commonly fall in the 5 to 8% range depending on area and unit type, outperforming most global cities.

What is the Golden Visa for property owners in the UAE?

The UAE Golden Visa grants ten-year renewable residency to property owners whose total Dubai Land Department valuation reaches AED 2 million or more. Mortgaged properties qualify on the same basis. The visa covers spouse and children, has no minimum-stay requirement, and multiple properties can be combined to meet the threshold.

Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner in Dubai?

Yes. Non-residents can typically obtain mortgages from UAE banks for up to 50% of the property value, with select banks offering up to 60 to 65% for ready properties. Interest rates typically range from 4 to 6% depending on the bank and borrower profile. We can connect you with mortgage advisors specialised in non-resident applications.
