Key Points to Remember When Buying Property in Dubai

Legal Frameworks

Any personnel based in Dubai or overseas can buy a property in Dubai as authorised by the Ruler of the Emirate in 2002. This was made possible by various laws and by-laws as Dubai’s real estate market further developed. No individual is required to hold any residency or similar permit to be allowed to buy a property in Dubai.

Access to The Real Estate Register

The real estate register in Dubai holds all information about the properties, its __cpLocation, and the related rights, but it is not open to the general public. Only the registered owner or an authorised person under a court order can access the information contained in the register.

Finding the Right Property Advisors

Any legal or natural person can buy a property in Dubai. In the case of a company, it must be registered in Dubai’s on-shore or dedicated off-shore or free zones. Kelt & Co Realty provides incorporation services for our buyers and is always ready to prepare the complete documents for a property’s registration and maintain your company further.

Who can buy it?

Due Diligence

Kelt & Co Realty guarantees reliable and comprehensive due diligence to our clients. When assisting you with your deal in the market, we will make sure the property’s owner is legal and authentic; the property is in excellent condition, assist or perform on the buyer’s behalf a thorough property inspection, and ensure the sale contract covers all potential pitfalls. In the off-plan deal, we always make sure the developer has all legal rights for the development or the necessary agreements with the landowner are in place, verify the registration of the developer and the project with the Real Estate Regulation Authority, check the existence of the Escrow account for the project and developer’s compliance with the construction schedule.

Timeline

Selling of property takes very little time. On average, it takes 30 days for everything to be finalised, starting when all concerned parties sign the Sale Contract. Other properties, such as off-plan properties, may take one day or as little as 30 minutes to be finalised. We at Kelt & Co Realty can offer our valued clients the facilitation to deal on their behalf and save their time by working on the client’s behalf under Power of Attorney. Our client is free to travel according to their schedule, and when they are available, we can start the process where their presence is required.

Costs Associated with Acquiring a Property in Dubai

Following are the costs associated while buying in the secondary market:

A no objection certificate from the developer can be anything between 500 and 10,000 AED plus VAT.
Registration Trustee fee is 4,000 AED plus VAT for properties valued over 500,000 AED, and 2,000 AED plus VAT for properties below 500,000 AED.
Registration Trustee fee is 4,000 AED plus VAT for properties valued over 500,000 AED, and 2,000 AED plus VAT for properties below 500,000 AED.
Mortgage registration fee (if applicable) is 0.25% of the registered loan amount.
Transfer fee is 4% of the purchase price.
Title deed issuance is 580 AED.
Broker’s commission varies between 2% to 5% (plus VAT) of the purchase price.
There may be additional payments associated with the service charge and utility payments for the properties.

Following are the costs associated while buying an Off-plan property:

Booking deposit around AED 5,000-37,000, depending on the property value; the deposit is adjusted towards the 1st instalment for the property.
Instalments are usually 5% to 10% of the property value paid every three months; convenient post-handover plans are often available.
OQOOD (interim title) registration fee: 4% from the property purchase value + AED 3000 admin fees.

What is Off-Plan Purchase?

Off-plan purchases can be explained as buying a property before the construction is completed and sometimes before the development of the property has even started. This may sound like a risky investment, but purchasing an off-plan property is an attractive investment opportunity in a market where fully developed properties are expensive. This particular investment is very little but offers enormous rewards.
An unbeatable advantage of the off-plan purchase is a post-handover payment scheme many developers offer. This means you can get an excellent investment with a bit of initial capital, whereas your investment will pay off itself.
Buying off-plan isn’t always straightforward, however. You’ll need to do your homework on the developer, and obtaining a mortgage can sometimes be tricky.
Kelt & Co Realty can explain the potential of every project in Dubai as we understand the market and have our research team analysing the projects extensively. We only work with trusted and reputable developers who offer excellent projects and services. We can also help our clients with fast mortgage services through our in-house mortgage advisors.
