Set Your Budget

Before starting your search, it's important to understand the full costs involved:
 

  • 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee

  • 2% agency commission (+5% VAT)

  • Registration and admin fees

  • Mortgage-related costs (if financing)

​

💰 Typical upfront expenses:
Down payment (20–40%) plus AED 100,000–150,000 in fees, depending on your property and financing terms.

2

Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

Securing pre-approval gives you a realistic price range and strengthens your buying power.
 

  • Salaried buyers can often get approved with 20% down

  • Self-employed buyers may need 40% down unless meeting certain business criteria (physical office, 7+ staff, etc.)

​

We work with mortgage advisors who understand the needs of international buyers.

3

  • Local laws and buyer protections

  • Community comparisons

4

View Properties

We schedule property viewings that match your criteria, such as:
 

  • Luxury apartments in Downtown or Palm Jumeirah

  • Family villas in Arabian Ranches or Dubai Hills

  • High-yield investment properties in JVC or Business Bay

Make an Offer

Found your ideal home or investment? We’ll help you:
 

  • Submit a formal offer with terms

  • Provide a valid ID or passport copy

  • Include a 10% deposit cheque (held safely by the agency)

6

Sign the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding)

Once accepted, you and the seller sign the Form F (MOU)—a binding agreement that outlines:
 

  • Purchase price

  • Payment timeline

  • Terms of sale

​

Your 10% deposit is held until the transfer.

7

Finalize the Mortgage & Apply for NOC

At this stage:
 

  • Your bank does a property valuation

  • If the seller has a mortgage, it must be cleared

  • We apply for the NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the developer to verify the property is eligible for sale

8

Transfer Ownership

This takes place at a Dubai Land Department trustee office, where:
 

  • Buyer provides a manager’s cheque for the purchase

  • DLD and admin fees are paid

  • The title deed is issued in your name

​

Congrats—you’re now the official owner!

9

SET UP YOUR PROPERTY

Whether you're moving in or listing it for rent, we assist with:
 

  • Utility setup (DEWA)

  • Service charges (typically AED 10–20/sqft annually)

  • Furnishing and handover services if needed
