Off-plan 1-bedroom apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle

Yes. In the freehold areas a foreign buyer gets full ownership. The purchase is registered with the land department while the building is still under construction, and the payments go to an escrow account of the project.

A down payment of 5–20% on booking, then instalments tied to the construction stages, and the rest on handover. Some projects let you pay part of the price after you receive the keys. A plan written as 10/50/40 means 10% down, 50% during construction and 40% on handover.

In Dubai — the 4% registration fee of the Dubai Land Department and the Oqood registration fee. When you buy from the developer through us, our service is free for the buyer: the developer pays the commission.

Buyers' money is held in an escrow account controlled by the regulator and released to the developer as construction progresses. We also check each project in the registry: how many projects the developer has delivered, how fast this one is being built and how it sells.

Our own rating from 0 to 100 built on open data of the Dubai Land Department: the developer's delivery record, the construction pace, the price against the area and the demand. It helps to compare projects, it is not a guarantee.

Property worth AED 2 million or more qualifies for the 10-year Golden Visa, and an off-plan unit from an approved developer counts. A two-year investor visa is also available to property owners. The rules changed in 2026, so we check your case before the purchase.
