How to choose the right apartment
- Start from your goal. Rental income points to JVC, Dubai South or Business Bay; capital growth to Creek Harbour, Dubai Islands or Dubai Hills; a residence visa to AED 2M+.
- Check the developer. Track record, delivery history and escrow-registered project (see our off-plan guide).
- Read the payment plan. Post-handover plans reduce the cash you need before the keys.
- Model net yield. Service charges can cost a full point of yield: see Dubai rental yields by area.
- Budget the costs. 4% DLD fee plus registration and admin fees on top of the price.
Off-plan or ready?
| Off-plan | Ready | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash needed | 10–20% to book, the rest staged | Full price or mortgage |
| Price | Launch prices, often below resale | Market price |
| Rental income | After handover | Immediate |
| Risk | Delivery delay, market at handover | Lower, what you see is what you get |
Most of our clients buy off-plan to benefit from launch prices and staged payments. See all off-plan projects.
