Which areas are freehold?

Marina, Downtown, JVC, Arabian Ranches, Palm Jumeirah and many other designated zones. Some older districts remain leasehold — check the title, not the brochure.

Off-plan needs escrow and a delivery record. Ready is slower to appreciate in a soft market but you can inspect the actual apartment.

Buyin Dubai

Foreigners can buy freehold in designated Dubai zones. Title comes from the Dubai Land Department. Off-plan money should sit in a RERA escrow account.

Ready transfers are a DLD appointment, not a screenshot of a contract. Off-plan is a construction schedule plus escrow — if there is no RERA account, walk away.

Service charges, DLD transfer fees (commonly 4%) and agency commission sit on top of the ask. sivrce will not list a Dubai unit we cannot source and verify.
