with confidence.

As a rule of thumb, budget approximately 6–8% of the purchase price for combined transaction costs. DLD transfer fee, trustee fee, agency fee and NOC. Add mortgage arrangement and valuation costs if financing.

Off-plan works when your time horizon can absorb handover risk and the discount justifies the wait. Ready works when you need immediate income or use. If the payment plan is the reason you’re buying off-plan, that’s a sign to pause.

Central Dubai apartments and Dubai Hills villas are typically the most liquid segments. Trophy assets on the Palm or in Emirates Hills can take longer to place at the right price. Plan the exit before you enter.

Every step can be completed remotely using Power of Attorney. We recommend at least one physical visit before committing, particularly for off-plan and villa purchases, remote-only transactions relying on renders are the ones most likely to re-trade.
