Where it is
Downtown Dubai
The Burj Khalifa district — the most recognisable address in the emirate and the densest piece of it.
- short-let income
- a landmark address
- fast resale
What to check: The service charge here is among the highest in Dubai and in older towers it has climbed faster than rent. Calculate your yield after the charge, not before, and ask for three years of charge history before making an offer.

According to the listing, the property is ready. The project passport gives 2012 as the completion year.
Can this lot be bought with a mortgage, and what would the payment be?
UAE banks lend on ready homes to both residents and non-residents. For this lot: a resident puts down from 30%, here AED 6 300 000; a loan of AED 14 700 000 over 25 years at 3.75–4.99% a year comes to roughly AED 75 600–85 800 a month. A non-resident puts down from 40% (AED 8 400 000) and pays about AED 64 800–73 600 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 840 000 for this lot. On a ready property the registration trustee fee of AED 4 200 is added. 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, yes: the 10-year Golden Visa is granted for property from AED 2 000 000, and this lot is priced at AED 21 000 000. The threshold is measured by the Dubai Land Department valuation, not the contract, and only freehold qualifies.
