FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

People are naturally curious, and it's the agent's duty to guide them through the often complex process of buying and selling real estate. Some inquiries are more common than others. Whether you're a first-time buyer or someone who needs a refresher, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about real estate transactions.

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai? 

Yes, foreigners can legally buy property in Dubai in designated freehold areas. Dubai opened its real estate market to international buyers in 2002, allowing non-UAE nationals to purchase, sell, lease, or rent property without the need for local sponsorship.
You can buy:
Apartments
Villas
Townhouses
Off-plan or ready properties
Foreigners can also own 100% of the property, and in some cases, it may even qualify you for a residency visa, depending on the investment amount and property type.

What are the best area to buy property in Dubai?

The best area depends on your budget and purpose (investment, living, or holiday home). However, some of the most popular and high-return areas include:

Area
Why It’s Popular
Dubai Marina
Waterfront apartments, high rental demand
Downtown Dubai
Close to Burj Khalifa & Dubai Mall, luxury living
Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC)
Affordable, family-friendly, high ROI
Business Bay
Central location, suitable for professionals
Palm Jumeirah
Iconic luxury, great for lifestyle and prestige
Dubai Hills Estate
Newer community, modern villas and apartments

Each area has its own vibe — choose based on lifestyle, rental yields, and future growth potential.

How to buy property in Dubai from UK?

Foreign buyers from the UK (or any country) can easily buy property in Dubai remotely or by visiting. Here’s how:

Choose a Property or Area
Work with a RERA-licensed real estate agent or browse listings online.
Submit Passport Copy
No need for a UAE visa. Passport is enough for buying freehold property.
Sign MoU (Memorandum of Understanding)
Includes terms and payment plan. Usually involves a 10% deposit.
