Frequently asked questions.
The most common questions we hear from investors looking at Dubai real estate.
Yes. In designated freehold areas, foreign investors can own property in their own name with full title. We manage the process end-to-end, including registration with the Dubai Land Department.
We agree your budget, select the project and apartment, arrange the reservation and Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and follow the payment plan and Oqood registration with the developer. We stay with you through handover.
Both have a role. Off-plan offers low down payments and appreciation potential during construction; ready property delivers immediate rental income. We decide together based on your objectives.
On selected off-plan projects, down payments can start from 5–10%. The balance is paid in installments during construction, and some projects offer post-handover payment plans.
Rental income is assessed for the period after handover. Expected annual rent, service charges, maintenance, management costs and time between tenants are considered together. Rota Prime also provides rental and property management after handover.
Real estate investment of AED 2M (approx. USD 545K) and above is one of the key routes to the UAE 10-year Golden Visa. Our group’s consultancy company supports eligibility checks and the application process.
There is no personal income tax and no annual property tax on residential real estate in the UAE. A one-time DLD title fee (4%) and small administrative fees apply on purchase.
Payments are made via international bank transfer through regulated channels. We coordinate with your bank and the developer, and prepare all required documentation on your behalf.
