Buying Property in Dubai: Exact Fees, Net Yields & Off-Plan vs Ready

Non-residents can own 100% freehold title deeds across Dubai's prime zones. Protecting your true net yield comes down to calculating 4% DLD fees, RERA Mollak service charges, and independent handover snagging.

Escrow Safety & Golden Visa Rules

  • Every legal off-plan payment must go strictly into the project's DLD-regulated Escrow Account—never a broker's account.
  • Properties valued at 2,000,000+ AED qualify the owner and family for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa.
  • Book an independent snagging inspection (from 1,500 AED) before final developer handover so defects are rectified under warranty.

3 Property Investor Traps

  • Confusing advertised '10% gross ROI' with actual net yield after service charges and chiller fees (realistic prime net yield is 5.5–8%).
  • Working with uncertified agents unable to show an active RERA Broker Registration Number (BRN).
  • Signing developer handover forms before thermal AC and plumbing snagging.
