We Reply Like Humans

WhatsApp us and get a straight answer from someone who knows the deal, not a script — usually within the hour.

We Compare Every Plan For You

Before you commit to a project, we lay out its payment plan, completion date and developer track record against the alternatives — free, with no obligation.

03

Off-Market, First

New launches and off-market resales reach our WhatsApp before they're public. Ask to be added and we'll flag what fits your budget.

Free Tool

Work out your off-plan payment plan

Enter any price and pick a plan to see roughly what you'd pay at booking, during construction and on handover — and whether it clears the Golden Visa investment threshold.

Booking / Down PaymentAED 200,000
During ConstructionAED 1,400,000
On HandoverAED 400,000
There's also a shorter route: as of 2026, Dubai Land Department rules allow sole property owners to apply for a 2-year investor residency visa regardless of purchase price (joint owners need at least AED 400,000 per share). It's a lower bar than the 10-year Golden Visa above — ask us and we'll check what applies to your situation.

Figures are indicative only — actual payment schedules vary by developer and project, and Golden Visa/residency visa eligibility depends on conditions set by UAE authorities and can change. We confirm exact numbers and current eligibility for any property before you commit.

Free Tool

Match me to an off-plan project

Matches check your available cash against the booking/down-payment stage of each project's own published payment plan — they're indicative only, not a guarantee of eligibility or availability. This isn't financial advice; we confirm current terms and talk through what fits before you commit.

Dubai Property FAQs

Common questions about buying property in Dubai

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?

Yes. Non-UAE nationals can buy freehold property in designated areas of Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate and Dubai Creek Harbour. Freehold ownership gives you full title to the property and the land it sits on.

Do I qualify for a UAE Golden Visa if I buy property in Dubai?

Property investors who buy real estate worth AED 2 million or more (including off-plan, subject to conditions) are generally eligible to apply for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. There's also a shorter route: Dubai Land Department rules updated in 2026 allow sole property owners to apply for a 2-year investor residency visa regardless of purchase price (joint owners need at least AED 400,000 per share). Rules are set by the UAE government and can change, so we confirm current eligibility for your specific purchase before you commit.

What are typical off-plan payment plans in Dubai?

Developers commonly offer staged payment plans such as 10/70/20, 50/50, 60/40 or 80/20 — the first number is the booking/down payment, and the remainder is split between construction milestones and handover. We compare payment plans across developers so you know your exact cash-flow commitment before you sign.

How much are agency and transfer fees when buying in Dubai?

Buyers typically budget around 2% agency commission, 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee, plus a small fixed DLD registration fee. Off-plan purchases direct from a developer may carry different fee structures — we confirm the exact costs for your transaction upfront.

What's the difference between off-plan and secondary market (resale) properties?

Off-plan properties are purchased directly from a developer before or during construction, usually with a staged payment plan and lower entry price. Secondary market (resale) properties are existing, completed homes bought from a current owner, usually paid in full or via mortgage at transfer. We work across both markets.

How do I sell my property in Dubai with Sekenë Properties?

We start with a free, no-obligation valuation based on recent comparable sales in your building or community. From there we advise on any renovation work worth doing before listing, market the property to our buyer network and off-market contacts, and manage negotiation and the DLD transfer through to handover.
