Compare locations, layouts and total purchase costs with support in English
Compare Dubai apartments according to your purpose and total ownership cost. Studios, one-bedroom homes and larger apartments serve different needs. Size and views alone do not establish running costs or rental suitability.
For a home, assess journeys, layout, noise and local services. For rental, check furnishings, building costs, condition and any existing tenancy. Allow for vacancy and repairs.
Two apartments in the same neighbourhood can have different costs and permitted uses. Check the details before reserving.
You can inspect a completed home. For off-plan, assess the documents, contractual specification, payment schedule and delay risk.
Check DLD’s Service Charge Index and the selected building’s budget. Add furnishing, management, repairs and financing.
Verify the title, foreign-buyer eligibility and any existing tenancy. Buying a tenanted apartment does not necessarily allow immediate occupation.
Compare rent and vacancy scenarios. Gross yield excludes ownership costs, financing and taxes.
Review competing offers and resale terms. An increase in the apartment’s value is not guaranteed.
For holiday-home use, check the required permissions, building rules and operating costs.
Check the actual journey to work, noise, parking and nearby construction.
Compare the specific building, access to services and daily journeys.
Check availability, title documents, specification and warranty terms for the selected unit. Renderings do not replace contractual commitments.
The sequence and formalities depend on the property and transaction. Establish these before a reservation payment.
Clarify whether the property is for your own use, rental or resale. Check residence-visa eligibility separately; a purchase does not automatically confer residence or citizenship.
Compare current availability, price, area, documents and running costs for homes that meet your criteria.
Check the parties, refund terms and seller documents. Confirm identification, signature and any representation requirements.
The contract determines amounts and due dates. A low initial instalment does not mean a low total purchase cost.
Agree the scope and costs of inspection, furnishing and rental support before committing.
