INVEST ABROAD
Invest in property in Dubai.
Dubai is the most transaction-heavy market on Onora's map: a deep off-plan pipeline, designated freehold zones for foreign ownership, and a regulator (RERA/DLD) that escrows off-plan payments. Income is currently untaxed at the personal level; transaction and service costs do the pricing work instead.

How buying works in Dubai & the UAE
Factual notes on the purchase process — no advice, always verify the current rules with your own advisers.
- Foreign buyers own freehold in designated zones; the Dubai Land Department (DLD) registers every transfer
- DLD transfer fee is 4% of the price, plus administrative and (where applicable) agent fees
- Off-plan purchases pay into RERA-supervised escrow accounts tied to construction milestones
- Annual service charges per square foot vary widely by building and materially affect net outcomes
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes — full freehold ownership in designated zones, registered with the Dubai Land Department. The transfer fee is 4%.
How safe is buying off plan in Dubai?
Off-plan payments flow into RERA-supervised escrow accounts released against construction milestones. As everywhere: the developer's track record and the contract terms are the due diligence that matters — Onora publishes the delivery year and state on every listing.
