THE PRICE YOU'RE QUOTED IS NOT THE PRICE YOU PAY
On a AED 2,000,000 apartment, budget roughly AED 180,000 on top. Here's where it goes.

DLD TRANSFER FEE - 4%
AED 80,000. The largest single addition, payable to the Dubai Land Department. It is not optional and not negotiable.

OQOOD REGISTRATION
Registering your off-plan unit on the Interim Property Register. Typically a few thousand dirhams, sometimes folded into the developer's admin fee.

AGENT COMMISSION - 2%
AED 40,000 plus VAT on a resale purchase. On a direct developer purchase this is usually paid by the developer, so ask which applies to you.
TRUSTEE AND ADMIN FEES

Registration trustee office charges, developer NOC and admin fees. Individually small, collectively real.
AT HANDOVER

Service charges are commonly collected a year in advance, and the DEWA connection deposit is due before you get power. On a mid-size apartment that's another five figures arriving at the exact moment you've just made your final payment.
WHY THIS MATTERS

Buyers budget for the sticker price and get caught twice: once at purchase, again at handover. Neither is a hidden fee. Both are simply not on the brochure.
All-in transaction costs typically run 6% to 11% of the purchase price, depending on whether commission applies and how your developer structures its fees.
Model the real number before you commit, not after.

THE BROCHURE VS THE BUILDING

Every off-plan render carries three words in small print: artist's impression. Most buyers skim past them. They're the most important words in the document.
WHAT A RENDER ACTUALLY IS
Marketing material. It shows design intent, not a contractual specification. The furniture isn't included. The landscaping is aspirational. The view from that balcony assumes nothing gets built on the plot next door, and nobody has promised you that it won't.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY BINDING

The Sale and Purchase Agreement, and only the SPA. If something matters to you, it needs to appear there. Four things worth finding before you sign:
The variation clause. Most SPAs permit the developer to alter layout, finishes and specification within a stated tolerance, often around 5% on area. Know your number.
The specification schedule. Brand names for kitchen appliances, sanitaryware and flooring, or generic wording like "or equivalent"? Those two things are very different.
The area definition. Suite area, balcony, or gross including a share of common space. It changes your real price per sq ft materially.
The completion date. The RERA registered date, not the one on the brochure. Then check the grace period attached to it.

THE PRACTICAL PART
Photograph the show unit. Keep every brochure and floor plan you were given. Note the render version and date. At handover, that record is what your snagging inspection is measured against.
None of this means renders are dishonest. It means they're a picture, and you're signing a contract. Read both.

WHO SHOULDN'T BUY OFF-PLAN

We sell off-plan. We also think a lot of people shouldn't buy it. Here's who.

YOU NEED INCOME NOW�An off-plan unit produces nothing until handover. If your plan depends on rent arriving within the next year or two, you're buying the wrong product. Ready property pays from month one. Off-plan asks you to fund it first and wait.

YOU MAY NEED THE CAPITAL�Pre-handover resale is legal and routine, but it isn't guaranteed. Liquidity depends on the project, the area and where the market sits when you want out. Money that might be needed for something else shouldn't be locked into instalments you can't pause.

YOU MUST SEE IT FIRST�You're buying a floor plan, a render and a developer's track record. Layouts get tweaked. Finishes get substituted. Views change as neighbouring plots build out. If that uncertainty will keep you up at night, buy something you can walk through.

A MISSED INSTALMENT WOULD HURT�Payment plans look comfortable on the brochure. They're contractual. Falling behind can trigger penalties and, in the worst case, cancellation under DLD rules, with only a portion of what you've paid coming back. Stretching to reach the deposit is the wrong reason to sign.

AND IF NONE OF THAT DESCRIBES YOU�Then off-plan is probably the strongest thing in this market. Lower entry price, staged payments instead of a lump sum, escrow protection under Law No. 8 of 2007, and the appreciation window between launch and handover.

The point isn't that off-plan is risky. It's that it suits a specific buyer, and the industry rarely says out loud who that isn't.

Not sure which side you fall on?

Message us and we'll tell you honestly, even if the answer is wait.

AED 2,000,000. FIVE AREAS. FIVE OUTCOMES.

Same budget. Five very different apartments. Here's what actually changes.

JUMEIRAH VILLAGE CIRCLE | ~1,325 sq ft
Roughly AED 1,510/sq ft. The space play. Gross yields here run among the highest in Dubai, typically 7 to 9%. The trade-off is heavy new supply, which keeps pricing competitive but tempers capital growth.

DUBAI MARINA | ~970 sq ft
Roughly AED 2,060/sq ft. Waterfront, established, deep tenant pool. Yields around 5.5 to 7%. Mature stock, so building quality varies more than the postcode suggests.

DUBAI HILLS ESTATE | ~820 sq ft
Roughly AED 2,430/sq ft. Master-planned, green, family-led demand. Slower rental churn, stronger end-user resale.

BUSINESS BAY | ~785 sq ft
Roughly AED 2,550/sq ft. Central, DIFC-adjacent, one of the stronger performers on apartment price growth. Yields around 5.5 to 7%.

DOWNTOWN DUBAI | ~665 sq ft
Roughly AED 3,010/sq ft. The address premium. Lowest yields of the five at around 5 to 6%, but the most durable demand.

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY SHOWS
The same money buys twice the floor area in JVC as in Downtown. That isn't a verdict on either. It's the trade you're making. Yield and space sit at one end, location strength and capital resilience at the other.

And square footage isn't the whole cost. Service charges vary widely by building, and a higher per-sq-ft charge on a larger unit changes the net return more than most buyers model.

Figures are area averages from H1 2026 DLD transaction data. Individual buildings vary significantly.

Tell us your budget and what matters most: yield, space, or location. We'll map it properly.

WHAT IF THE DEVELOPER FAILS?

The question nobody in Dubai property likes to answer. Here's the honest version.

YOUR MONEY ISN'T WITH THE DEVELOPER
Under Law No. 8 of 2007, every off-plan project must hold buyer payments in a dedicated escrow account at a RERA-approved bank - one account per project, separate from the developer's own funds.

The developer cannot draw on it freely. Funds release in stages, only after a RERA-appointed auditor certifies that construction has actually reached the milestone. Your money is ring-fenced to your specific tower. If the developer runs into trouble on an unrelated project, your escrow is not the pot they can reach into.

If a project is cancelled, the escrow account is the mechanism through which refunds are handled, with RERA overseeing the process.

THE THREE CHECKS YOU CAN RUN YOURSELF
Download Dubai REST - the DLD's free official app. Before you pay anything:

Search the developer. Confirm an active RERA licence.
Search the project separately. A registered developer can still be selling an unregistered project. It needs its own RERA project number.
Ask for the escrow bank name and account number, then verify both against the project's listing. Cross-check the bank against DLD's approved list.

Takes five minutes. Costs nothing.

THE LINE THAT MATTERS
If a developer or agent won't give you escrow details, or no escrow appears against the project - don't pay. Not a smaller deposit, not a reservation fee. Nothing.

Never accept a brochure, a screenshot or a salesperson's word as proof. Verify in the official system yourself. Any agent worth working with will expect you to.

WHY THIS EXISTS
These protections were written after the 2008–09 cycle, when buyers funded projects that never broke ground. The framework in 2026 is not the framework that failed then.
