Dubai property buying fees: a practical checklist

A practical route through a common Dubai life and property question. Requirements change, so start by checking the official source.

Official source: Dubai Land Department (DLD)

Source for current requirements and facts: Dubai Land Department (DLD). We do not insert unverified fees or timelines.

What to check, in order

  1. 1

    Separate price from costs

    Create a separate budget for registration, intermediaries, finance and ongoing ownership.

  2. 2

    Check the official tariff

    Verify current registration charges only on DLD and the relevant service page.

  3. 3

    Include mortgage costs

    If financing, ask the lender for the full list covering valuation, registration and insurance.

  4. 4

    Put allocation in writing

    The contract should make clear which party pays each item.

Fees and timelines may change — verify with the official source.
