FAQ
Questions buyers ask
What is off-plan property in Dubai?
Off-plan property is a unit purchased directly from the developer before or during construction, typically at a lower entry price and with flexible, milestone-based payment plans.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property with 100% ownership in Dubai's designated freehold areas, with no residency requirement.
What is a payment plan and how does it work?
A payment plan splits the property price into instalments — usually a down payment on booking, staged payments during construction, and a final amount on handover.
What is the UAE Golden Visa and how can real estate qualify?
The Golden Visa is a long-term, renewable UAE residency (up to 10 years). A property investment of AED 2 million or more typically qualifies the owner to apply.
How do I get a mortgage for a Dubai property?
Both residents and non-residents can obtain mortgages from UAE banks, generally financing 50–80% of the value depending on status. Our team can connect you with mortgage advisors.
What is the expected ROI from Dubai off-plan property?
Dubai off-plan typically delivers strong returns — rental yields of around 6–8% plus notable capital appreciation by handover, varying by location and project.
