Motor City area guide →Is the property ready or still under construction?
The handover date in the listing is Dec 2027. Until then payments follow the developer's payment plan. The date comes from the seller and is checked against the sale agreement before a deal.
Can I get a mortgage on this lot while it is still under construction?
During construction the buyer pays the developer under the payment plan — UAE banks grant standard mortgages on ready homes. A loan is possible for the final payment, once the property has its completion certificate.
Mortgage for the final payment →What costs come on top of the price?
The main one is the Dubai Land Department registration fee: 4% of the price, AED 37 600 for this lot. With a mortgage the bank charges for processing and valuation, and the mortgage is registered for a separate fee. I will send the full calculation for this lot on request.
Does buying this lot qualify for a UAE residence visa?
On price the lot clears the classic threshold for the two-year residence visa, AED 750 000. It is AED 1 060 000 short of the 10-year Golden Visa, granted from AED 2 000 000. The threshold is measured by the Dubai Land Department valuation, not the contract, and only freehold qualifies.
