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 28 000 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.

The lot's price is AED 50 000 below the classic threshold for the two-year residence visa (AED 750 000) and AED 1 300 000 short of the Golden Visa, granted from AED 2 000 000. A visa consultant can go through the grounds that remain at this price.
