Ready to move properties in Dubai

    253 handed-over projects in our catalogue have completed units trading on the resale market right now, so you collect keys and rent instead of waiting for a construction schedule.

    Ready stock costs more per square foot than off-plan but starts earning immediately, and the yield is measurable rather than projected: we price each one against the actual rents and Dubai Land Department transactions recorded in the same building.

    Cash needed up front

    A ready purchase needs 20 percent deposit for residents, 20 to 40 percent for non-residents, plus the 4 percent DLD fee and agency and trustee charges on day one. There is no instalment runway.

    Income starts on transfer

    A tenanted unit transfers with the lease attached, so rent starts in the same month. Check the rent against the current market rate before you accept the seller's yield figure.

    Service charge is the hidden number

    Service charge per square foot varies by more than three times between towers in the same community. It comes straight off the net yield, so we pull the current figure before shortlisting.

    Common questions

    What is a ready to move property in Dubai?

    A ready property is a completed, handed-over unit with a title deed already issued. You can move in or rent it out as soon as the transfer completes, typically two to four weeks after the sale agreement.

    Is ready or off-plan better in Dubai?

    Ready property starts producing rent immediately and carries no delivery risk. Off-plan needs less cash up front and buys at a launch price. Which one wins depends on whether you need income now or capital growth over the build period.
