FAQ
Can I buy property in Dubai without a lawyer?
It’s not mandatory, but it can be risky. While brokers handle the transaction, they are not responsible for legally reviewing contracts or resolving title issues. A real estate lawyer can help protect your purchase by verifying escrow compliance, conducting due diligence, and managing DLD registration.
My landlord just sent me a rent increase notice. Do I have to accept it?
Not necessarily. A rent increase should follow the RERA Smart Rental Index and be given with at least 90 days’ notice. A Real Estate Lawyer can review your case and represent you at the Rental Dispute Centre (RDC) if needed.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes, foreigners can own 100% freehold property in designated areas like Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Palm Jumeirah. If you’re interested in buying, our legal consultants in Dubai can help including DLD registration and remote transactions via Power of Attorney (POA) if you’re abroad.
What is the difference between a freehold and leasehold property in Dubai?
Freehold gives you full, permanent ownership of the property (and usually the land), with the right to sell, lease, or pass it on. The leasehold gives you the right to occupy the property for a period of 99 years after which it reverts to the landlord.
What is RERA and how does it protect property buyers?
RERA is the regulatory arm of the DLD that sets the rules for the property market. It protects you by mandating escrow accounts for off-plan projects—ensuring your money is only released as construction hits specific milestones—and by licensing all developers and brokers to prevent fraud.
My Dubai developer has missed the handover date by over a year. What are my options?
You can send a formal notice, file a complaint with the DLD, or take legal action for compensation or contract termination. If your SPA includes arbitration, the case may go through the Dubai International Arbitration Centre.
