Start from a unit type

Off-plan and ready units behave differently: off-plan carries no agency fee, an Oqood registration instead of a title deed, and no rent until handover. Ready units pay 2% agency plus VAT, a developer NOC, and rent from month one. Pick a starting point — every figure stays editable.

The numbers below are example assumptions. Change any field to model a real unit.

Off-plan (under construction)

Ready (handed over)

Costs follow the published Dubai schedule: a 4% DLD transfer fee plus a fixed admin fee, Oqood or title deed, trustee and conveyancing, developer NOC on resale, and mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan. Service charges are calculated from unit size within the band set by the owners association.
