Security of real estate transactions in Dubai
The activities of large developers are regulated by the UAE government, which eliminates the possibility of purchasing low-quality housing or deception during the transaction process. However, the process of buying property from smaller developers is also almost completely safe. The Dubai Land Department personally reviews the plans for all new units. Construction work begins only after receiving official permission.
Also, when buying real estate at the excavation stage, you do not immediately give the entire amount directly to the developer. The money goes to a specially created account, where it will be stored until the start of a new stage of construction or the full commissioning of the facility. If the developer is unable to complete construction, you will return all funds spent. This is also monitored by the Dubai Land Department.
Choosing a developer for investment
Popular developers can offer real estate in tourist areas and business centers. Such properties attract the attention of a large number of renters looking for housing close to work or city landmarks. Thus, the chance of renting out purchased properties for short-term or long-term rent will be higher.
If you prefer real estate from less popular developers, then it is necessary to pay attention not only to the location of the object but also to the reputation of the company. Find out how long the company has been on the market, whether it has awards, and whether it has participated in litigation. It is also worth paying attention to the level of quality of implemented projects and compliance with construction deadlines.
To select the most promising property, it is best to contact specialists from a real estate agency. They will also greatly facilitate the process of concluding a deal, taking almost all the work upon themselves.
