Manifesto · 01

We do not sell property.
We advise on where to live.

Point Penta was built on the belief that Dubai deserves a brokerage that treats every mandate as its own — with the same discipline a private bank brings to wealth.

Frequently asked

Dubai real estate — 2026 answers.

Is now a good time to buy Dubai property in 2026?

+

Point Penta's data desk tracks Dubai transactions running roughly 20% above 2024 volumes, with prime areas (Downtown, Marina, Palm Jumeirah) still showing single-digit annual appreciation. Yields of 5.4–7.8% keep Dubai one of the world's most attractive markets for both end-users and investors, especially given zero personal income tax and Golden Visa residency at AED 2M+.

Do I need a UAE residency visa to buy property in Dubai?

+

No. Foreign buyers can purchase freehold in designated areas without residency. Purchase itself unlocks a 2-year investor visa (AED 750K+) or a 10-year Golden Visa (AED 2M+), so most international clients buy first and receive residency as a consequence.

What is the average rental yield in Dubai?

+

Point Penta's live community metrics engine currently reports gross yields ranging from 5.4% (Palm Jumeirah — prestige premium) to 7.8% (JVC — mid-market). Downtown Dubai averages 6.1%, Dubai Marina 6.8%, Business Bay 7.1%. Every community page shows a live yield refreshed from active mandates daily.

How much does it cost to buy property in Dubai?

+

Budget approximately 7% on top of the property price: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, 2% agent commission, ~1% miscellaneous (NOC, registration, oqood, title deed). A cash purchase closes in 7–14 days; mortgage-backed purchases settle in 30–45 days.

Can I get a mortgage in Dubai as a non-resident?

+

Yes. UAE banks lend to non-residents at up to 50–60% loan-to-value, with rates in 2026 ranging 4.5–6.5% (variable) and 5.0–6.5% (fixed). Point Penta's mortgage desk handles pre-qualification with all major banks (Emirates NBD, Mashreq, HSBC, ADCB, Standard Chartered) in 24–72 hours.

What is the difference between off-plan and ready property in Dubai?

+

Off-plan is bought directly from the developer before completion, with payments staggered across construction milestones — attractive for price appreciation and modern spec. Ready property gives instant possession, rental income and mortgage eligibility, but at a market-set premium. Point Penta advises on both sides depending on your holding horizon.

Which developers are most trusted in Dubai?

+

Tier-1 masters are Emaar Properties (Downtown), Nakheel (Palm Jumeirah), DAMAC Properties (luxury villas), Sobha Realty (Sobha Hartland), Meraas (City Walk / Bluewaters), Aldar Properties (Abu Dhabi), Select Group (Marina), Ellington Properties (boutique) and Dubai Properties (Business Bay). Point Penta partners directly with each.

How does Point Penta select properties?

+

Every mandate that appears on Point Penta is vetted by a RERA-licensed advisor for title clarity, service-charge history, floor plan quality and comparable pricing. We deliver a curated shortlist within 24 hours of your brief — not a flood of listings.

Do you handle rentals only from private landlords?

+

Yes. Our rental desk works exclusively with landlords who prefer curated tenant introductions to open marketing. Tenants receive matched shortlists (typically 3–5 mandates) within 24 hours of their brief.

In how many languages does Point Penta operate?

+

Point Penta serves clients in seven languages — English, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese and Korean. Every property page, community guide and journal article is available in all seven.
