Buying
Expect a 20% deposit as a UAE resident or 25% as a non-resident on a home under AED 5M, plus the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee and about AED 5,000 of registration and trustee costs. On the typical sale of AED 5M, that is AED 990,000 down and AED 198,000 in transfer fee. Before offering, check the service charge per sqft on the building page, the registered size against the marketed one, and whether the unit has sold before and at what price.

A typical home rents for AED 262,000 a year. New contracts run about 4% above renewals, and increases on renewal are capped by the RERA rental index. Landlords in Dubai usually take one to four cheques and a 5% security deposit, and every contract is registered on Ejari, which is where the figures on this page come from.
