The Dubai real estate market operates differently from other countries, making it crucial to have a trustworthy property advisor by your side. Choose an agent registered with the Dubai Land Department who understands the local market, legislation, and transaction procedures. W Estates offers professional guidance, ensuring transparency and confidence at every stage. With their expertise, you can find your ideal property and complete your purchase safely and efficiently.
Dubai’s freehold property laws allow both residents and international buyers to own real estate in designated areas. Since 2002, these rights have been formalized through regulations that continue to evolve alongside the market. No residency or special permit is required to purchase property, making Dubai accessible to global investors. Understanding the legal framework and working with knowledgeable advisors ensures a smooth transaction, full compliance, and peace of mind throughout the process.
Both individuals and legal entities are eligible to purchase property in Dubai. If the property is registered under a company, the company must be incorporated in a Dubai onshore zone or in designated offshore or free zones. W Estates can assist buyers with company formation, prepare the full set of documents for property registration, and provide ongoing support for your corporate structure. With professional guidance, owning property in Dubai is straightforward and fully compliant with local regulations.
The duration of property transactions in Dubai depends on the type of deal. A resale property typically completes within 30 days from signing the Sale Contract, while off-plan properties can be finalized in just one day, or sometimes as little as 30 minutes. To save time, W Estates can act on your behalf under a Power of Attorney, allowing you to travel freely while we manage the transaction. Our team ensures that all steps are handled efficiently, providing a smooth and timely completion.
Comprehensive due diligence is a cornerstone of any property transaction in Dubai. W Estates conducts thorough checks on behalf of our clients, ensuring legal ownership and verifying all documentation. For resale properties, we assist with inspections and review the Sale Contract to protect against potential issues. In off-plan deals, we confirm the developer’s legal rights, verify registration with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, and check escrow accounts and construction compliance. This ensures your investment is safe, fully compliant, and transparent.
Dubai’s Real Estate Register contains detailed information about all properties, their locations, and associated rights. However, access is restricted: only registered owners or authorized representatives under legal authorization can view the data.W Estates assists clients in navigating this process, ensuring you have the information required for a secure and transparent transaction. Our expertise guarantees that your property ownership is fully recognized and properly documented according to local regulations.
Buying property in Dubai involves several fees that should be considered in your planning. For resale properties, costs typically include the broker’s commission of 2–5% plus VAT, a developer’s no objection certificate ranging from AED 500 to 10,000 plus VAT, and a registration trustee fee of AED 2,000–4,000 depending on the property value. Transfer fees amount to 4% of the purchase price, while mortgage registration (if applicable) is 0.25% of the loan. Title deed issuance costs AED 580, and additional payments may apply for service charges and utilities.
For off-plan properties, buyers usually start with a booking deposit between AED 5,000 and 37,000, credited toward the first installment. Installments are generally 5–10% of the property value, paid quarterly, with post-handover plans often available. An Oqood (interim title) registration fee of 4% of the property value plus AED 3,000 in administrative fees ensures proper legal registration. Proper guidance from experienced advisors can help manage these costs efficiently and ensure full compliance with all regulations.
