Dubai has become one of the most popular destinations for UK property investors. There's no annual property tax, no capital gains tax, and rental yields that often beat London's. Off-plan property means buying before or during construction, and it's the most accessible way in.
Why off-plan?
- Lower entry prices: launch prices are usually below what the finished units sell for.
- Flexible payment plans: many developers accept 10–20% upfront, with the rest spread over the build, and some offer post-handover plans.
- Capital growth: values can rise between launch and completion.
How it works for UK buyers
- Choose a project and developer that fits your budget and goals.
- Reserve the unit with a booking deposit.
- Sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). This can be done remotely.
- Pay the Dubai Land Department registration fee (typically 4%).
- Follow the payment plan until handover.
Developers we work with
We work with leading developers including DAMAC and Danube, with projects such as DAMAC Islands 2, Aspriz, Bayz, Breez, Diamondz and Oasiz.
Things to check before you buy
- The developer's track record and whether the project is registered with RERA
- That payments go into an escrow account
- The service charges and expected rental yield in that area
