Where it is
The pin is placed by project — accurate to the development, not the door.
Port de la Mer
A Mediterranean-styled quarter on a Jumeirah peninsula: a marina, a private beach and low-rise buildings fifteen minutes from the centre.
- water without tower density
- short-term letting
- buying to live in
What to check: A low-rise waterfront quarter with a marina, a beach and landscaping is expensive to run: the service charge here sits above the city average and affects net yield more than the rent does. Confirm the short-letting rules separately — the investment case usually rests on them.

Port de la Mer area guide →Can this lot be bought with a mortgage, and what would the payment be?
UAE banks lend on ready homes, and the listing does not confirm that this property is ready. If it has been handed over, the numbers are: a resident puts down from 30%, here AED 9 135 000; a loan of AED 21 315 000 over 25 years at 3.75–4.99% a year comes to roughly AED 109 600–124 500 a month. A non-resident puts down from 40% (AED 12 180 000) and pays about AED 93 900–106 700 a month. The bank approves the rate and the amount.
Run your own numbers in the mortgage calculator →What costs come on top of the price?
The main one is the Dubai Land Department registration fee: 4% of the price, AED 1 218 000 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.
