Frequently Asked Questions
What is off-plan property in Dubai?
Off-plan property is real estate purchased before or during construction. You pay in installments on a developer's payment plan (40/60 and 20/80 are common structures) and take handover once the building is complete. The price is fixed at contract — but you're buying a promise, not a building, which is why the developer's delivery record matters more than the renders.
Is buying off-plan safe in Dubai?
Safer than its reputation, but not risk-free. RERA requires developers to register each project and hold buyer funds in escrow, which protects your installments from being spent elsewhere. It does not protect you from delays, changed specifications, or weak demand at handover. Verify the RERA registration and escrow account, and weigh the developer's delivery track record before you commit.
What are the benefits of buying off-plan in Dubai?
Staged payments instead of the full price up front, entry pricing that can sit below comparable ready stock, and first pick of units in new districts. Set against that: construction risk, handover delays, and payment plans whose headline discount narrows once every fee is counted. Off-plan rewards buyers who underwrite the specific project — not the category.
Can I sell my off-plan property before handover?
Usually, yes. Most developers allow assignment (resale) once you've paid a stated share of the price — commonly 30–40% — subject to the developer's consent and often a transfer fee. Check the assignment clause in your sale and purchase agreement before you count on an exit during construction.
