Property opportunities across one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets.
Aframena works across Dubai’s established and emerging communities, from ready waterfront apartments to off-plan family homes. Whether you’re buying to live, invest, or diversify internationally, our team can help you find the right fit.
Buying property in Dubai as an international buyer
Dubai offers freehold ownership to international buyers across a wide range of designated areas, backed by an established regulatory framework through the Dubai Land Department. The city combines strong global connectivity, a deep and active rental market, and no annual property tax on residential real estate. Certain property investments may also support eligibility for UAE residency — requirements can change, so we always recommend confirming current thresholds with your advisor before making a decision.
Ready vs off-plan
Both routes are common in Dubai, and the right choice depends on your timeline and objective.
- An existing, completed property
- Can be inspected and valued before you buy
- Suited to immediate use or rental income
- Priced at current market value
- Under construction, sold from plans or a show unit
- Purchase is based on developer plans and specification
- Payment plans are often available during construction
- Pricing varies by developer and launch stage
