How the purchase process works
Search & shortlisting
We work with you to define property criteria (location, budget, size, type), then coordinate viewings and provide market context.
Due diligence
We verify title deeds, check for liens or encumbrances, review developer reputation (for off-plan), and confirm ownership clarity.
Offer & negotiation
We prepare the Offer to Purchase (OTP) or Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA), negotiate terms, and secure seller acceptance.
Transaction coordination
We coordinate mortgage pre-approval (if financing), escrow account setup, payment scheduling, and document signing.
Transfer & registration
We manage the title transfer at the Dubai Land Department or relevant authority, finalize utility transfers, and deliver ownership documents.
Residency linkage (optional)
For purchases above AED 2M, we prepare and submit the Golden Visa application using the property investment as the qualifying basis.
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners own property in the UAE?
Yes, foreigners can purchase freehold property in designated areas across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates. Freehold areas grant full ownership rights, while leasehold grants usage rights for a fixed term (typically 99 years). We confirm ownership structure during the search phase.
What is the Golden Visa property investment requirement?
A property purchase of AED 2 million or more qualifies for the 10-year Golden Visa, provided the property is not financed by a loan. If the purchase is mortgaged, only the equity portion (down payment + principal paid) counts toward the AED 2M threshold.
How long does a property purchase take?
Cash purchases typically complete in 2-4 weeks from offer acceptance to title transfer. Financed purchases take 4-8 weeks due to mortgage approval and bank coordination. Off-plan properties follow developer payment schedules, with title transfer upon project completion.
What are the transaction costs?
Buyer pays 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee (2% buyer, 2% seller, but often negotiated), plus agency commission (typically 2% + VAT), mortgage registration fees (if financing), and administrative costs. We provide a detailed cost breakdown during the offer stage.
Do I need a UAE bank account to purchase property?
No, you can transfer funds from an international account, but a UAE bank account simplifies payment coordination, escrow deposits, and post-purchase utility setup. We coordinate bank account opening as part of the transaction workflow if needed.
