Purchasers frequently fail to inquire about the property’s servicing expenses. Building service charges in Dubai range from a few thousand to a hundred thousand dirhams per year. Because these fees can have a considerable impact on annual costs, they must be considered while negotiating prices.

Since 2006, the UAE government has implemented Law No. 3, which defines the locations in where non-citizens can purchase their own property. Non-residents can buy property in these areas. Major freehold estates may be found in most parts of “new Dubai,” including Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Emirates Hills, among others.

• Real Estate Brokerage Agency Fees: 2% of the net selling price plus 5% VAT.
• Conveyancing fee charged by the real estate brokerage agency (if applicable).

The type of property, location, market situation, and cost of the service charge all influence a property’s annual net revenue, which ranges between 5% and 10% on average after deducting the service charge. Even though the rent is higher, the rental income from more expensive and elite homes is usually lower in proportion.
