How to invest off-plan in Dubai with confidence

We help you choose off-plan projects according to your goal: yield, capital growth or a second home. We review the developer, the contract and the payment plan with you before you reserve.

We start with your goal

Looking for rent is not the same as looking to resell. Nor is investing over two years the same as over ten. First we talk about your capital, your timeline and what you expect. Then we look for projects that fit. Not the other way round.

What we review in each project

  • The developer: earlier projects and how well it met its dates.
  • The project registration and the RERA-regulated escrow account.
  • The contract: delays, changes and assignment terms.
  • The area: connectivity, amenities and nearby future supply.

The payment plan, with numbers

We compare plans with figures: how much you pay before handover, how post-handover plans work and what the purchase really costs once fees are included. If something does not add up, we tell you.

Realistic yield

We calculate gross and net yield with service charges and vacant months. And we remind you that off-plan has no rent until handover. No brochure figures.

Through handover and beyond

We go with you through the reservation, the contract, the Oqood registration and the handover with its defect inspection. If later you want to rent or sell before handover, we work through it together.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to buy off-plan in Dubai?

There are protections: payments go into a RERA-regulated escrow account and the purchase is registered in Oqood. Still, there are risks, such as delays or an unreliable developer. That is why we review each project.

How much do I pay when I reserve?

It depends on the project. We tell you before you transfer anything, along with the terms on refunding the reservation.

What costs are there on top of the price?

The DLD registration fee, which is 4% of the price, Oqood registration fees and possible developer admin costs. We give you the full breakdown.

Can I sell before handover?

In many projects yes, by assignment, but the developer usually requires a minimum percentage paid and charges a fee. We check the contract before you reserve.

Can I invest if I live outside Dubai?

Yes, in freehold areas. You can buy without being a resident. We guide you through the documents and the process remotely.
