Smart Deals Collection

A Smart Deal is a property that has been evaluated and selected for offering 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.

Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase freehold property in designated areas across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates, with no restrictions on nationality. The previous AED 750,000 threshold has been waived — any property purchase now qualifies for a renewable 2-year residency visa, and properties of AED 2 million or more grant the 10-year Golden Visa.

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 5 years. We negotiate the best available terms on your behalf.

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

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.

Dubai's real estate market continues to perform strongly, supported by zero personal income tax, Golden Visa eligibility for property of AED 2M and above, growing population, and limited prime land supply. Gross rental yields commonly fall in the 5-8% range depending on area and unit type, outperforming most global cities. Off-plan payment plans offer flexible entry, with down payments commonly between 10-20%.

The UAE Golden Visa grants 10-year renewable residency to property owners whose total Dubai Land Department valuation reaches AED 2 million or more. As of February 2026, mortgaged properties qualify on the same basis - the previous 50% down-payment requirement was removed, with the lending bank issuing a No Objection Certificate. The visa covers spouse and children, has no minimum-stay requirement, and multiple properties can be combined to meet the threshold. Both ready and off-plan units from RERA-approved developers are eligible.

Yes. Non-residents can typically obtain mortgages from UAE banks for up to 50% of the property value, with select banks offering up to 60-65% for ready properties. UAE residents purchasing their first home can borrow up to 80% LTV for properties below AED 5 million (70% for properties of AED 5 million and above), per Central Bank of UAE rules. Interest rates typically range from 4-6% depending on the bank and borrower profile. Required documents include passport, proof of income, bank statements, and a credit report. We can connect you with mortgage advisors specialized in non-resident applications.
