Off-Plan Property in Dubai: Key Costs and Risks Buyers Must Consider

Admin 1
February 8, 2026

The off-plan property market in Dubai has continued to expand, attracting investors and end users through flexible payment plans and lower entry prices. More than 160,000 units were launched last year, increasing buyer choice and competition. However, specific financial commitments are required.

Buyers are required to pay a 4 per cent Dubai Land Department registration fee at the time of signing the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Additional administrative and trustee fees may also be charged, depending on the developer.

Due diligence is strongly advised, as project timelines, developer credibility, and long-term value must be carefully assessed before purchase.
