FAQs

Buying costs, mortgages and yield

How much are the fees when buying a resale property in Dubai?

Buyers typically budget around 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, a DLD trustee fee of roughly AED 2,000 to 4,000 plus 5% VAT depending on the price band, about AED 580 for the title deed, and typically 2% agency commission. That is roughly 6 to 7% on top of the price. Off-plan purchases direct from a developer can differ, and we confirm the exact figures for each deal.

What is the minimum down payment for a mortgage in Dubai?

UAE Central Bank rules set maximum loan-to-value ratios. For resident expats buying a first property up to AED 5 million the maximum is generally 80% (a 20% down payment), lower above that value and for non-residents, and lower again for off-plan. Each bank also applies its own criteria, so we confirm what applies to your situation.

How is rental yield calculated?

Gross yield is annual rent divided by the purchase price. Net yield subtracts running costs such as service charges, maintenance and any letting fees before dividing. Actual returns vary with vacancy, rent changes and costs, so treat the result as an estimate.

Are these calculators financial advice?

No. They give indicative figures from the numbers you enter and the typical fee structures described above. Rules, rates and fees change, so we confirm everything for your specific purchase before you commit.
