More answers in the full Dubai buying FAQ

Why Dubai off-plan

The macro case for buying off-plan in Dubai

These six pillars apply to every project on this site, not just this one. If you're new to the UAE market, they're the context you need before evaluating the specific unit above.

0% interest, ever

Off-plan payment plans are interest-free, end to end. Every instalment is at face value, no APR, no compounding, no balloon hidden in the back. Buyers from interest-bearing markets routinely underestimate how much this saves over a 3-5 year hold.

No income or capital-gains tax on property

Dubai charges no annual property tax, no income tax on rental yield, and no capital-gains tax on resale. The DLD 4% transfer fee is a one-time cost at registration, after that, your returns are yours.

20% usually opens the unit

Most off-plan plans book with a ~20% reservation deposit. You're under contract with the developer immediately, with the rest spread across construction milestones. The deposit is what unlocks the buy-side, not the full unit price.

Post-handover plans extend the runway

Many projects offer 2-4 years of post-handover instalments, meaning a chunk of the price gets paid AFTER you take keys. Once the unit is rented, that income can help cover the post-handover payments, rarely the full instalment, but enough to make the cash-flow comfortable rather than tight.

Golden Visa from AED 2M

A property purchase of AED 2M+ qualifies the buyer (and family) for the UAE Golden Visa, a 10-year renewable residency. The visa is the headline benefit; for many international buyers it's the actual reason to buy in Dubai.

Freehold ownership for foreigners

Across the 80+ freehold zones (Dubai Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Hills, and the rest), foreigners own 100% of the asset and the land. There's no Emirati partner requirement, no lease structure, title deed in your name.
