What costs are on top of the price?
General guidance for buying an office in Dubai. Confirm the exact fees with the developer before booking.
Dubai Land Department fee
4% of the purchase price, paid to register the sale. Off-plan purchases are registered on the Oqood system, with administration fees on top.
VAT on commercial property
Sales of commercial property in the UAE are subject to VAT at 5%. VAT-registered businesses may be able to recover it; check with your tax adviser.
Service charges
An annual charge per sq ft for running the building, set by the developer and later the owners' association.
Fit-out
Offices are often handed over as shell and core or partly fitted. Budget for fit-out unless the developer confirms otherwise.
How is an off-plan payment protected?
- Off-plan payments in Dubai are paid into a project escrow account regulated by the Dubai Land Department and RERA.
- Developers draw from escrow against certified construction progress, not on booking.
- Check the project's registration with the Dubai Land Department before paying the booking amount.
