FAQ

Buying off-plan in Dubai: FAQ

What is an off-plan property in Dubai?

An off-plan property is a home or office bought from the developer before it is built or finished. You pay in instalments during construction, and often partly on or after completion, and receive the keys and title deed at handover.

Is it safe to buy off-plan in Dubai?

Off-plan sales are regulated by the Dubai Land Department. Developers must be registered, each project needs approval, and buyer payments go into a regulated project escrow account under Law No. 8 of 2007. Risk still exists, so check the developer's track record, the escrow details on the SPA and the project's registration before you pay.

What fees do I pay when buying off-plan?

The main fee is the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee, usually paid when you book, plus an Oqood registration fee. Some developers run offers that cover part of the DLD fee. Service charges start once the building is handed over.

Can foreigners buy off-plan property in Dubai?

Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property, including off-plan units, in Dubai's designated freehold areas. All the projects on this page are in freehold communities. See our guide to how foreigners can buy property in Dubai.

What is a post-handover payment plan?

A post-handover plan lets you pay part of the price after you receive the keys, typically over two to five years. Samana Downtown One, Business Hub and Greenfield 2 in our list leave 40% to 45% of the price to be paid after handover.

Can I sell an off-plan unit before handover?

Usually yes, but each developer sets its own rules, often requiring a minimum percentage of the price to be paid before it will issue a No Objection Certificate for resale. Check the resale clause in the SPA before you buy.
