Buying guide
How to buy property in Dubai
Buying in Dubai is simpler than most people expect. Here's how it works, step by step.
- 1
Choose what and where
Tell us your budget and how you'll use the home — to live in, rent out, or both. We shortlist the right areas and projects for you.
- 2
Set your budget
Buy with cash or a mortgage. We connect you with banks for a pre-approval so you know exactly what you can buy.
- 3
View and choose
Visit in person or by video call. We compare options side by side so the decision is easy.
- 4
Reserve and sign
Pay the booking amount and sign the sale agreement (Form F for ready homes, SPA for off-plan). We handle the paperwork.
- 5
Get your keys
Transfer is registered with Dubai Land Department and the title deed is issued in your name. Welcome home.
Ready vs off-plan
Two ways to buy
Off-plan
- Buy from the developer
- Pay in instalments during construction
- Brand-new home on handover
Common questions
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?+
Yes. International buyers can own property outright (freehold) in designated areas such as Downtown, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC and many more.
Do I need to live in the UAE to buy?+
No. You can buy as a non-resident, and most of the process can be completed remotely with our help.
What is the difference between ready and off-plan?+
A ready property can be moved into or rented out straight away. Off-plan is bought from the developer before or during construction, usually with a payment plan spread over the build, and you receive the keys on handover.
Can I get a mortgage?+
Yes — UAE banks lend to residents and non-residents. We introduce you to banks and mortgage advisors to get a pre-approval before you choose.
Can property ownership help with a UAE visa?+
Property owners who meet the investment thresholds can apply for a UAE residence visa, including the long-term Golden Visa. We'll explain the current rules for your purchase.
