We check live availability with the relevant developers, then send three to five options you can actually compare.
Property you buy from the developer before or during construction. You pay in stages set by the payment plan, usually a booking deposit, instalments during the build and a final payment at handover, with your payments held in a regulated escrow account for that project.
Every off-plan project must be registered with the Dubai Land Department, and buyer payments go into a project escrow account released to the developer against verified construction progress. Check the project number and escrow bank before paying; each project page on OffPlan Insider lists them where the developer has published them.
Yes, in designated freehold areas. In Dubai that covers most new-launch communities; in Abu Dhabi it covers investment zones such as Yas, Saadiyat and Al Reem. Every project page states the ownership type the developer has confirmed.
Mainly the Dubai Land Department fee of 4% of the price, plus registration and admin charges. After handover you pay annual service charges. Some developers cover part of the DLD fee as a launch offer.
No. OffPlan Insider is a registered marketing partner of the developers it lists and is paid by the developer. The price you pay is the developer's price.
With the developer. We confirm availability and help with the paperwork, but your reservation, sale and purchase agreement and payments are all with the developer and its escrow account.
