Why property advice in the UAE is not optional
Dubai real estate is both an investment path and, in some cases, a residency path for Iranians. In many projects the reservation form already binds you, and walking away burns some or all of the fee.
Our role is not to translate the SPA. Before you sign we identify deal risk, seller capacity, encumbrances, the payment plan and whether you can assign the contract.
Ready, instalment and off-plan
On a ready unit, DLD transfer and clearance of debt or mortgage matter. On instalments, delay penalties and FX risk must be priced in. Off-plan, the developer’s permit, escrow, handover date and delay remedies are decisive.
- Seller or developer identity and sale authority
- Title, mortgage and outstanding charges
- Termination, withdrawal and assignment
- Transfer fees, Oqood and service charges
- How a purchase interacts with residency routes
Tenancy, Ejari, rent increases and eviction
Ejari registration is essential for validity and many residency services. Rent increases follow the index and usually require at least 90 days’ notice. A landlord cannot evict on preference alone; statutory grounds such as personal use, sale or major works must be proved with formality.
If a landlord evicts for personal use and then re-lets, the tenant can pursue damages.
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy in Dubai?
Yes, in designated areas. Tenure, location and project status must be checked first.
Does buying property give residency?
In some cases, depending on value, property type and current rules. Buying only for residency needs an up-to-date review.
What is Ejari?
Dubai’s tenancy registration system. Without it, proving the tenancy and using many services becomes hard.
Can a landlord raise rent freely?
No. Increases follow the index and statutory notice.
