Your next investment in Dubai
starts with a conversation.

Yes. In every designated freehold zone (which covers most of Dubai) any foreign national can own property outright, in their own name, with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No residency or UAE entity required.

Most off-plan studios start around 600k AED (~€150k), with payment plans spreading the cost over 3–5 years. Many of our clients put down 10–20% to reserve a unit and pay the rest over construction milestones.

All funds route through a DLD-supervised escrow account in the developer's name. Money is released to the developer only when RERA-verified construction milestones are reached.

The UAE levies no annual property tax, and 0% capital-gains or rental-income tax for individuals on residential property — your only one-off government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee at purchase. (Companies fall under UAE corporate tax, and VAT can apply to commercial property.) Reporting depends on your own country of tax residence, so confirm local rules with your accountant; Palmera issues full transaction records to support any filing.

Yes. A property purchase of AED 2M or more qualifies you for the 10-year Golden Visa — it renews automatically as long as you keep the property, and extends to your spouse and children. Even below that, a property purchase can qualify you for a renewable investor visa — with no minimum value if you own it in your own name, or from an AED 400,000 share if you co-own with partners. Palmera handles the paperwork, ICP and typing-centre liaison, and follows through to issuance.

Off-plan units can be resold before completion once you have paid the developer threshold (commonly 30–40% of the price). Palmera lists the unit, handles viewings, and closes the assignment through the DLD. With Dubai off-plan often appreciating during construction, many investors exit at a gain before keys are even handed over.

The developer pays Palmera a 3–6% commission — never you. You pay the same headline price as walking into the developer’s office, plus the standard one-off government costs (4% DLD fee, ~AED 3,000–5,000 registration). No broker markup, no buyer fee, no surprises: every cost is spelled out in the SPA before you sign.
