Tools
The arithmetic, shown.
Five tools for the sums behind a Dubai purchase, built on published fees, the usual sequence of an off-plan handover and our own delivery records. Use them freely: nothing here asks for a login or an email, and every result says what it does not include.
Estimates only, not advice — figures currently in force; confirm with your advisor.
- Start here
Cost of buying
The true acquisition cost of a Dubai property at a given price: DLD transfer fee, registration, trustee, agency and mortgage costs, itemised and explained. Off-plan and ready variants, because the fee structures differ.
Yield calculator
Gross and net rental yield from a price, an expected rent, the service charge and the size — with the working shown, so you can see what sits between the advertised figure and the one you would bank.
Golden Visa checker
Whether a property purchase could support a UAE residence visa, on the criteria as currently published — value, ownership, off-plan or ready, and mortgage status — with the criteria stated and where to verify them.
Handover timeline
Enter a handover quarter and see the sequence between now and then, and just after: construction-linked payments, the snagging window, handover, title deed, Ejari and the first service charge invoice.
Compare developers
Two or three developers side by side on what we can actually stand behind: our reading of finish relative to price band, the payment-plan structure that recurs across their projects we cover, and one line from our delivery commentary. We publish no delivery statistics, because none of these developers has given us figures we can audit.

Thirty minutes with an advisor on what the figures mean for your purchase — and on the one thing a tool cannot tell you: whether the price itself is right.
