Buying off-plan in Dubai from the US: Every Fee You’ll Pay

Buying off-plan property in Dubai from the US? Here's every fee you'll pay, from the day you book to the day you sell, worked out on a 2 million dirham (about $545,000) apartment. Over ten years, one yearly cost can add up to double the 4% Dubai Land Department fee.

I cover the 4% DLD fee and Oqood registration, developer admin fees, mortgage and bank costs at handover, snagging, DEWA deposits, service charges, district cooling, property management, holiday home permits, and the costs of selling before or after handover. If you're an American investor, you'll also see why you should speak with a cross-border tax advisor before you sell.

All figures are examples. Costs vary by project and are confirmed for each unit.
