Dubai Immo FAQ about buying an apartment in Dubai
What are the steps involved in buying an apartment in Dubai?
The process of buying a property in Dubai is very simple and fast. Unlike in Europe, the whole process can be completed in a few days, and the administrative formalities are simplified to the maximum. The whole process can be done remotely and does not require a trip to Dubai.
Step 1: property search and selection
Our expert agents will help you find the right property to suit your objectives (pure investment, mixed use, personal use) and your budget.
Step 2: payment of a deposit to block the unit (from 5 to 20,000aed, or €1,150 to €4,600) for a maximum of one to two weeks.
This amount is usually paid via a secure payment link issued by the promoter.
Step 3: signing the booking form (2 to 5 pages)
This can be done remotely.
Step 4: payment of the down-payment, which generally corresponds to 10 to 20% of the purchase price of your apartment.
Payment by bank transfer, secure payment link or cash on site.
Step 4: signing of the SPA (Sales Purchase Agreement), the contract for the purchase of your apartment (several dozen pages), which is returned to the developer, who forwards it to the Dubai Land Department for registration of the unit in your name.
This administrative formality can be carried out remotely. You'll receive your contract by post or e-mail, and the developer will arrange transport by DHL or UPS from your home to Dubai, at no extra charge.
It's over! All you have to do is meet the payment deadlines for your apartment or villa.
How to buy an apartment in Dubai for rental investment?
To make a profitable rental investment in Dubai, you will need :
- Studying rental demand in Dubai's different neighborhoods
- Study the relationship between apartment purchase and rental prices
- Study the occupancy rate or rental vacancy rate
- Determine which type of rental (annual or short-term) is best, depending on the area and type of property.
The teams at Dubai Immo are here to help you carry out these essential checks before making any rental investment in Dubai.

- issuance of title deeds (approx. AED 500)

For rental investment, we recommend the following neighborhoods:
- Business Bay
- Jumeirah Village Circle
- Damac Lagoons
- Arjan
