Yes. Dubai allows foreign nationals to buy freehold properties in designated areas. Happy Home Properties can guide you through the entire process, from property selection to title transfer.

The process involves selecting a property, signing a Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA), paying a deposit, registering with the Dubai Land Department (DLD), and receiving the title deed. We handle every step for a smooth experience.

Off-plan investments offer lower entry prices, flexible payment plans, and potential capital appreciation. Additionally, buyers typically do not pay agency commissions on direct-from-developer purchases.

Tenants typically need to provide a copy of their passport, Emirates ID, residence visa, salary certificate or bank statements, and post-dated rent cheques. All tenancy contracts must be registered with Ejari.

Ejari is a legal tenancy registration system under RERA. It protects both tenants and landlords and is required to activate DEWA (utilities), sponsor family visas, and for any legal rental disputes.

Early termination depends on your tenancy agreement. Most contracts include a notice period and penalty clause. If there’s no clause, landlord approval is required.

Our comprehensive service includes tenant screening, rent collection, lease management, maintenance coordination, financial reporting, and end-of-lease turnover. We serve as the bridge between property owners and tenants to ensure smooth operations.

Fees typically include the 4% DLD transfer fee, agent commission (usually 2%), trustee office fees, and NOC charges if buying in a freehold area.

If a landlord fails to pay building service charges, it can affect tenant access to amenities. Tenants can file a complaint with the Rental Dispute Center to protect their rights.
