The Property Buying Journey

Step 1: Set Your Budget and Choose a Location
Do you want city views, beach access, or a quiet family area? Here are some popular choices:

• Downtown Dubai – luxury lifestyle
• Dubai Marina – waterfront living
• JVC and Arjan – affordable and high ROI
• Dubai Hills – modern, green, and premium

Prices range from AED 500,000 to AED 20 million+, depending on location and unit size.

Step 2: Reserve the Unit
Once you select the property, you’ll pay a booking fee (usually 5–10%) to lock the unit.

Step 3: Sign the SPA (Sales Purchase Agreement)
This official agreement outlines payment terms, completion dates, and your ownership rights.

Step 4: Make Your Payments

• For off-plan properties: Pay in installments as per the developer’s schedule.
• For ready properties: Pay the full amount before ownership transfer.

Step 5: Register With the Dubai Land Department
You’ll need to pay a 4% registration fee, plus minor admin charges, to get your ownership legally recorded.

Step 6: Receive Your Title Deed
This confirms you officially own the property. If your purchase qualifies, you can also apply for a UAE residency visa.

Good news: The entire process can be done remotely. With power of attorney and a trusted agent, you don’t even need to be in Dubai.
