BUY YOUR PROPERTY IN DUBAI

Prices vary depending on location, proximity to business centers, beaches, transportation, and infrastructure. Studios are generally at the lower end of the market, while high-end apartments and villas can reach several million depending on the standard and the view. However, buying in Dubai remains more affordable than in other major world capitals, with a price-to-size ratio that is often superior.

The acquisition process is structured, transparent, and legally regulated. After selecting a property, the buyer signs a sales contract, makes an initial payment, and then registers with the Dubai Land Department. Transactions can be carried out on site or remotely, which facilitates international investment.

The main additional cost is the registration fee, set at around four percent of the total price. An annual service charge may be applied for the maintenance of common areas in residential buildings. However, the absence of taxation on rents and capital gains means that a high net return can be maintained.

Buyers can finance their property with a personal contribution or through a local bank. Financing is available to expatriates and international investors alike, with terms varying depending on the source of the capital, the value of the property, and the buyer's situation. However, cash purchases remain common in order to take advantage of better negotiating margins.

A turnkey purchase allows for immediate rental and generates income from the moment of acquisition. Off-plan purchases, on the other hand, generally offer a lower entry price with the potential for appreciation upon delivery. The choice depends on the investor's profile, investment horizon, and return or capitalization strategy.
