Buying GuideOn Dubai ready/resale purchases, buyers typically pay about 2% of the sale price plus 5% VAT on that commission; sellers often pay a separate 2% to their listing agent.

Rates are market convention, not a fixed RERA tariff.

Off-PlanAn off-plan purchase can support a Golden Visa strategy only when the residency pathway accepts the ownership evidence you can actually produce at filing time. An SPA and early installments alone are often not the same as titled freehold proof — confirm current rules officially before you treat a launch booking as visa-ready.
InvestmentDubai’s property-linked Golden Visa path is a residency route tied to qualifying property ownership — not an automatic upgrade after any purchase. Confirm current investment thresholds and document rules on official UAE / Dubai portals, then match your unit (ready freehold vs off-plan) to what the visa process actually accepts.
Buying GuideCash buys in Dubai usually complete faster with fewer bank conditions; mortgages preserve liquidity but add approval, valuation, and interest risk. Choose based on timeline, residency, and how much cash you need after handover — and confirm lender terms in writing.
Buying GuideDubai mortgage pre-approval is an indicative lender assessment of how much you may borrow, based mainly on your profile. Final approval still needs property valuation, title/project checks, and written facility terms — so align SPA deadlines with that timeline.

Off-PlanOqood refers to Dubai’s framework for registering off-plan property sales so a buyer’s interest in an under-construction unit is recorded through official Dubai Land Department channels. It matters because it helps document your purchase beyond marketing paperwork — but you still need a clear SPA, Escrow clarity, and project registration checks before committing.

Off-PlanAn off-plan property in Dubai is a home you buy before construction is finished — often before it starts. You typically pay through a developer payment plan, register the sale through official channels such as Oqood concepts under Dubai Land Department frameworks, and funds for many projects sit in a RERA-linked Escrow account until milestones are met.
Off-PlanYes — for many buyers, Dubai off-plan in 2026 remains worth it when you match budget to a reputable developer, a realistic payment plan, and a location with genuine demand. It is not automatic profit: treat off-plan as a structured purchase with construction and handover risk, not a guaranteed flip.
Off-PlanA Dubai off-plan payment plan splits the purchase price across booking, construction milestones, handover, and sometimes post-handover instalments. Softer plans improve cash flow but do not remove developer or delay risk — always read the SPA percentages and total cost including fees.
InvestmentDubai real estate can be a strong investment for buyers who prioritise freehold ownership, competitive rental demand, and clear entry points via ready or off-plan stock — provided they underwrite location, supply, and holding costs honestly. It is attractive, not risk-free.
