The palm-shaped island: villas on the fronds, apartments along the trunk, resorts around the crescent.

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 201 880 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.

On price, yes: the 10-year Golden Visa is granted for property from AED 2 000 000, and this lot is priced at AED 5 047 000. The threshold is measured by the Dubai Land Department valuation, not the contract, and only freehold qualifies.
