Where to buy off-plan property in Dubai? Top 5 projects revealed

The off-plan property purchase in Dubai offers convenient payment options spread over time, in a location of the buyer’s choice with a brand new unit that can be customized suiting the owner’s taste.

Global investors also benefit from off-plan projects that focus on attributes such as quality, affordability or luxury in a great location with conveniences and access to roads and transportation.

Tips to Buy Off-plan homes from Primary Market

• You may directly buy house from a developer.
• You may lower your risk by choosing a lower down payment with payments shifted close to project completion.
• You must ensure that the developer, project and project’s Escrow account are all registered in the Dubai Land Department’s Real Estate Regulatory Arm (RERA).
• You must ensure the developer registers your property with the Dubai Land Department through the Oqood registration that will cost around 4% of the total purchase price.

Tips to Buy Off-plan homes from Secondary Market

• You can buy off-plan units on the secondary market from another owner.
• You must ensure the seller has registered the property with the Dubai Land Department and can provide you with a copy of the registration.
• You and the seller should both go to the developer after signing an agreement of sale, to apply for a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
• You pay the seller once the transfer of ownership takes place in a Dubai Land Department trustee office after the NOC is issued by the developer. The total fees will include a 2% commission fee (if you used a broker), the NOC fee (up to 5,000 AED) and a transfer appointment fee (4,000 AED).
• You should use a reliable third party property website like Myvilla.com which validates every property and lists only RERA certified agents on their website.
