Buy
Buy property in Dubai, from wherever you live.
Apartments, villas and townhouses, ready or off-plan. We shortlist, verify and handle the purchase so you can buy with confidence without flying in.
Ready and recently completed projects
Twenty-plus well-known projects from Dubai’s leading developers, completed or handing over now. Ask us which units are available today.
Project names are listed for information. Availability, prices, payment plans and handover dates change often, and some projects may only be available as resale. Ask us for current details. Developer names and trademarks belong to their owners.
How buying works for overseas buyers
Non-residents can buy freehold property in Dubai’s designated freehold areas. Most of our clients complete the whole process remotely.

What it costs on top of the price
A typical cost picture for a purchase in Dubai. We give you exact figures for every property on your shortlist.
| Dubai Land Department transfer fee | 4% of the purchase price, paid once at registration |
|---|---|
| Trustee office and title deed fees | Fixed government and trustee charges for registering the transfer |
| Agency fee | Agreed in writing before you proceed; on many off-plan purchases the developer pays the agency |
| Mortgage costs (if financing) | Bank arrangement fee, valuation fee and mortgage registration with the Dubai Land Department |
| Annual service charges | Paid to the building or community for maintenance, set per square foot |
Figures are general guidance, not a quote. Your tax position in your home country may still apply, so speak to a tax adviser where you live.
Buying from abroad: what you need
- A valid passport. Residence in the UAE is not required to buy freehold property.
- Proof of funds and, if financing, the bank’s documents. UAE banks lend to non-residents, usually at a lower loan-to-value than for residents.
- A power of attorney if you prefer someone to sign the transfer on your behalf. Many steps can now also be signed digitally.
- For a Golden Visa: property worth AED 2 million or more, subject to the authorities’ current criteria.
