To buy an off-plan property in Dubai, you only need to provide a few basic documents. The exact list depends on whether you are buying as an individual or a company.
For Individual Buyers:
• Passport copies (for everyone whose name will be on the contract).
• Emirates ID and UAE Visa (only if you are a UAE resident).
• Your contact details (phone number and email address).
• Signed forms (the developer's reservation form and the final Sales and Purchase Agreement).
• Receipt of payment (proof that you paid the down payment and government fees).
For Corporate Buyers (Companies):
• Official company documents (trade license, setup papers, and a board resolution allowing the purchase).
• ID documents (passport copies of the company owners).
Important Costs to Remember:
Every purchase must be registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD). As a buyer, you will need to pay a 4% DLD registration fee plus small admin charges. Also, note that if you decide to resell your property before it is finished, you will need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer, which costs between AED 500 and AED 5,000
