Frequently Asked Questions
Off-plan property is a unit purchased directly from the developer before or during construction, typically at a lower entry price and with flexible, milestone-based payment plans.
No. Our service is completely free for buyers — we are compensated by the developer. You only pay the standard property costs, such as the 4% DLD registration fee.
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold property with 100% ownership in Dubai's designated freehold areas, with no residency requirement.
A payment plan splits the property price into instalments — usually a down payment on booking, staged payments during construction, and a final amount on handover.
