FAQs
What is an off-plan property and how does buying one work in the UAE?
An off-plan property is a unit purchased from a developer before or during the construction phase. Buyers typically sign a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), pay an initial booking deposit, and then make staged payments according to a construction-linked or time-based payment plan. Ownership is transferred upon handover and full payment.
How are buyer deposits protected in UAE off-plan projects?
In Dubai, RERA requires developers to hold buyer deposits in escrow accounts that can only be drawn upon as construction milestones are achieved. This protects buyers from developer insolvency. Similar protections exist in Abu Dhabi and other emirates through their respective regulatory authorities.
What payment plans are available for UAE new project purchases?
UAE developers offer a variety of payment plans. Common structures include 20% down payment and 80% in instalments during construction; 50/50 plans splitting cost between construction and handover; and post-handover plans where a portion is paid over 1–5 years after receiving the property. Specifics vary by developer and project.
Can I get a mortgage for an off-plan property in the UAE?
Mortgages for off-plan properties are available from UAE banks, though with stricter conditions than for ready properties. Many buyers use developer payment plans during construction and then refinance with a mortgage at or near handover. Banks typically require a minimum 10–25% deposit for off-plan financing.
Which developers are most trusted for new projects in the UAE?
The UAE's most established and trusted developers include Emaar Properties (developer of Downtown Dubai and Dubai Hills Estate), Aldar Properties (Abu Dhabi's leading developer), Damac Properties, Sobha Realty, Nakheel, Meraas, and Dubai Properties. These developers have track records of timely delivery and quality construction.
