Buying in Dubai Marina
In a designated freehold area a foreign buyer owns the property and the land outright, with no time limit and no requirement to be resident.
Budget for the DLD transfer fee of 4% of the purchase price plus the registration admin fee, an agency fee of around 2%, and trustee and NOC fees that vary by office and developer. Service charges then run annually for as long as you hold. Our buying costs calculator itemises the whole bill, and the service charge estimator covers the ongoing side.
