Things to Know
When Buying Property in Dubai
Work with a Registered Dubai Property Advisor
Dubai’s market, procedures and documentation are unique. Choose a RERA-registered agent who understands local rules, fees, and timelines. WIZI assigns a community expert to your brief and manages the entire process.
Legal Framework & Who Can Buy
- Eligibility: Residents and non-residents can purchase freehold properties in designated areas.
- Ownership types: Natural persons and companies can buy. For company purchases, the entity must be incorporated in Dubai onshore or eligible free zones/offshore jurisdictions. WIZI can arrange company setup and handle paperwork.
Timeframes
- Resale (ready) property: Typically ~30 days from signing the Sale Contract to transfer.
- Off-plan: Reservation and SPA can be completed same day, sometimes within an hour, subject to developer process.
- Traveling? We can act under Power of Attorney to keep your timeline on track.
Due Diligence (WIZI Process)
- Verify legal ownership and any encumbrances.
- Inspect the property (snagging) and document defects.
- Review SPA or resale contracts to cover potential pitfalls.
- For off-plan: confirm developer & project registration with RERA, valid Escrow account, and construction schedule compliance.
Access to the Property Register
Dubai’s real estate register contains official ownership records but is not public. Access is limited to the owner or an authorized party under court order. WIZI ensures all checks are performed through the correct legal channels.

Off-plan purchase explained
Buying off-plan means purchasing before construction completes (sometimes before it starts). Benefits include lower entry prices, staged payments, and potential capital growth during build. Risks are managed by choosing reputable developers, confirming escrow protections, and verifying approvals. WIZI partners only with vetted developers and can secure fast mortgage pre-approvals via our in-house team.
