Ah, the million-dirham question. As a buyer, you can choose between off plan and ready homes. Properties that are to be developed or under the construction phase are called off plan, and the ready properties are those where the building stage is finalised.

Ultimately, the answer will depend on your budget, goals and timeline. Here’s an overview of both options:

Ready properties – If you’re an investor looking for immediate rental income or a buyer wanting to move into a new home soon, Dubai offers all kinds of ready properties in urban, beachfront, and nature settings. Buyers can expect to get a high loan to value (LTV) ratio for these homes, making it easier to get a mortgage from the bank. Curious about this option? Explore properties for sale in Dubai here.

Off plan projects – With new developments being announced every week, the Dubai off plan property market is on the rise. Investors and buyers can secure prime units with easy payment plans that are completed upon handover. These properties yield high rental returns, a good ROI and great capital appreciation when finalised. Here are the latest off plan properties in Dubai.

The process is generally straightforward for foreigners. Outlook Properties can guide you through the legalities, including property registration and fees.
