According to the listing, the property is ready. The project passport gives 2016 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 20%, here AED 270 000; a loan of AED 1 080 000 over 25 years at 3.75–4.99% a year comes to roughly AED 5 600–6 300 a month. A non-resident puts down from 40% (AED 540 000) and pays about AED 4 200–4 700 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 54 000 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 the lot clears the classic threshold for the two-year residence visa, AED 750 000. It is AED 650 000 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.
