New projects in and around the Marina.

Payments for an off-plan unit go into the project’s escrow account, regulated by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007; the developer draws on it as construction progresses. Always pay into the escrow account named in your sale and purchase agreement, never to an individual.

The Dubai Land Department fee of 4% of the price plus an administration fee, paid when the purchase is registered (Oqood for off-plan, title deed for ready homes), and agency fees on resales. Some developers run offers on the DLD fee; we tell you which ones apply today.

Typically a down payment at booking, instalments during construction and a balance at handover (for example 60/40 or 70/30). Some developers add post-handover instalments, often at a different price: we always show the plan and the price that go together.

No. The dates on this site are those announced by the developer on the date shown; the contractual date and any grace period are in the sale and purchase agreement, and construction progress is registered with RERA. We check the latest status before you commit.

Property can open residency rights, but under conditions that change: the 10-year Golden Visa for property requires a total of at least AED 2 million, and most investor visas require a completed property registered with the Dubai Land Department, so an off-plan unit usually qualifies only at handover. The framework is confirmed when your file is submitted.

Usually yes, once a minimum share of the price is paid (often 30 to 40%, set by each developer), against a transfer fee. The rule is in your sale and purchase agreement.
