Dubai & Abu Dhabi · Off-plan & ready homes
Buy in Dubai with someone who explains every step.
Independent, one-to-one advice on new launches and ready homes. I explain how buying here works, show you the full costs, check the developer and the paperwork, and only recommend what fits your goals.
About Hassan
Personal advice, from first call to the keys.
I help people buy property in Dubai, from new off-plan launches to ready homes on the secondary market. Many of my clients are buying here for the first time, often from abroad, and want someone who explains the process plainly.
I work one to one and keep my client list small. That lets me answer quickly, join viewings myself and follow each purchase all the way to handover. Because I work across Dubai's leading developers and the resale market, I can compare new and ready options side by side.
"I would rather lose a sale than sell you the wrong home."
Honest advice
If a project does not suit your budget or goals, I will tell you, even if it means no sale for me.
Clear numbers
Price, payment schedule, service charges and handover date in writing before you sign.
Checked paperwork
Developer, project registration and escrow account verified before you reserve.
One contact
You deal with me from first call to handover. No passing you between agents.

Off-plan or ready
Which way of buying suits you?
Both can be a good choice. It depends on when you want to move in or earn rent, and how you prefer to pay.
| Off-plan (new launch) | Secondary (ready home) | |
|---|---|---|
| When you get the keys | At handover, often 2 to 4 years after launch | Within weeks of agreeing the price |
| How you pay | In stages during construction, set by the developer | Full price at transfer, cash or with a mortgage |
| Price | Often launch pricing for early buyers | Market price, open to negotiation |
| Rental income | Starts after handover | Can start immediately |
| What you see | Plans, show apartment and the developer's track record | The actual home, in person or by video |
| Main risk | Delays to handover | Condition of the property and existing tenancy |
Buyer protection
How your purchase is protected.
Dubai has clear rules to protect buyers. Part of my job is to make sure each one is in place before you pay.
Escrow accounts
Under Dubai's escrow law (Law No. 8 of 2007), off-plan payments go into a project escrow account and reach the developer only as construction milestones are verified.
Oqood registration
Every off-plan sale is registered with the Dubai Land Department in the Oqood system, so your purchase is on record from the start.
Licensed parties
RERA licenses developers and brokers and sets standard sales contracts. I check the developer and the project registration with you.
Check it yourself
You can verify the developer, project and broker in the Dubai REST app or on the DLD website. I will show you how.
Trustee transfer
For ready homes, payment and ownership change hands at the same moment at a registered trustee office.
Title deed
Your ownership ends with a title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department in your name.
General information, not legal advice. Rules can change; I confirm the current requirements for your purchase.

Clarity & residency

What you get in writing
You decide with the full picture in front of you, not a sales brochure.
Residence through property
Can property give you a visa?
Property owners can apply for UAE residence. The 10-year Golden Visa currently requires property worth at least AED 2 million, and the 2-year visa usually needs a completed property. Requirements change, so I check the current rules for your case before you buy.

Updated October 2026
What is off-plan property in Dubai?
Off-plan property is a home you buy directly from the developer before it is finished. You usually pay in stages during construction, the payments are held in a regulated escrow account, and you receive the keys at handover, often two to four years after launch.
Is buying off-plan in Dubai safe?
Dubai regulates off-plan sales closely. Buyer payments go into a project escrow account under Law No. 8 of 2007, every sale is registered with the Dubai Land Department in the Oqood system, and developers and brokers are licensed by RERA. The main risk is a delayed handover, so the developer's track record and the contract terms matter.
Which property qualifies for the UAE Golden Visa?
Owners of property in the UAE worth at least AED 2 million can apply for the 10-year Golden Visa. A 2-year investor visa is available at lower thresholds, usually for completed property. The rules change from time to time, so check the current requirements before you buy.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. Buyers of any nationality can own property outright in Dubai's freehold areas, which include most communities by the developers on this site. You do not need to live in the UAE.
What if the project is delayed?
Your money is held in escrow and released to the developer only as construction progresses. I check the contract's handover and delay terms with you before you reserve, and follow progress until handover.
Can I buy from abroad?
Yes. Many clients buy remotely. I arrange video viewings, send documents for digital signing, and the transfer can be completed with a power of attorney.
Can I get a mortgage?
UAE banks lend to residents and many non-residents, usually for ready homes or at handover for off-plan. I can introduce you to a mortgage advisor to check what you qualify for.
Can I sell before handover?
Often yes, once you have paid a share of the price set by the developer. I check these resale terms with you before you buy.
