Questions we’re often asked
Can’t see yours? Ask us and we’ll answer within one working day.
Is my money protected while the building goes up?
Off-plan payments in Dubai go into an escrow account for that project, under Dubai’s escrow law and regulated by RERA. The developer can only draw on it as construction progresses.
What is a post-handover payment plan?
Some developers let you pay part of the price after you get the keys, often over two to five years. It can make buying easier, but the total price is usually higher, so we compare both options with you.
Can I sell before the building is finished?
Often yes, once you have paid the share of the price the developer requires. Each developer has its own rules and fees, and we check them before you buy.
Does an off-plan purchase qualify for a Golden Visa?
Rules on off-plan property have changed over time. Under federal rules, off-plan property worth AED 2 million or more bought from an approved developer can qualify for the Golden Visa. Dubai's exact conditions, such as how much must be paid, should be confirmed with Dubai Land Department, and we check your case before you commit. More on the Golden Visa
