Questions

Before you commit

How do off-plan payment plans work?

You pay a share on booking, further instalments during construction and the rest at handover. The split differs by project: in the Dubai Creek Harbour and The Heights examples here, 80% of the price is paid in instalments before completion and 20% on completion, per the unit's plan; the construction instalment dates are not published on the pages we cite. Chelsea Residences' Tower C plan splits the price into 20% within three months, 40% during construction and 40% on completion, plus the 4% DLD fee. Your adviser shows the plan for the specific unit.

What comes on top of the price?

The Dubai Land Department charges 4% of the price to register the sale. Developers usually pass it to the buyer, some include it in the booking payment, and the sale contract decides. Admin and registration charges come on top. Your adviser lists every fee for the specific unit before you commit.

Can I buy from abroad?

Often, yes. Viewings and many steps can be arranged remotely; whether you need a power of attorney or a visit depends on the purchase and the developer's requirements. NOWAD advises in English, Arabic, French, German, Turkish and Armenian.

Why go through NOWAD instead of the developer?

One adviser compares projects from different developers against your budget, checks current availability and explains the payment plan and fees in writing. We are a RERA-registered brokerage, office 60169.
