Buying property in Dubai.
We match apartments, villas, off-plan and resale property, for your own use or to let. Below you will find every buyer route. Choose a starting point and we will guide you all the way to handover.
What are you looking for?
- Apartments Apartments for sale in Dubai From compact studios to multi-level penthouses. We'll match you to a specific apartment for your goal and see the purchase through to the transfer of ownership.
- Villas Villas for sale in Dubai When you buy a villa, you buy a house, a plot, privacy and an address. The best of them rarely reach the portals. We work discreetly, from the first viewing to registration of ownership.
At what stage?
- Off-plan Off-plan property in Dubai Buying from the developer before handover or during construction. An early choice of unit and payment spread over time, in return for patience and careful checking of the project.
- Direct from developer Property direct from the developer in Dubai Buying on the primary market: new projects, the first allocation of units and the developer's price list. We give access to every developer, and our service costs you nothing.
- Ready to move in Ready-to-move-in property in Dubai Completed homes you can view before buying and move into straight away. No waiting for construction and no risk that the result diverges from the render.
- Secondary market The secondary property market in Dubai Ready properties from current owners. You can view them before buying, move in straight away and have real room to negotiate. We handle the whole transaction.
- Off-market Off-market properties in Dubai Properties sold away from the portals, in a closed circle. We reach them through relationships and check whether the quiet around an offer is genuine, before we show you anything.
For what purpose?
- Investment Property investment in Dubai We match a property for letting and work out the net result, not just the rent on paper. We tell you what reduces income and handle the purchase and management, remotely too.
- Golden Visa Property for a Golden Visa in Dubai A purchase from AED 2 million can give a 10-year, renewable residency. We match a property that meets the programme's requirements and is a good purchase in its own right.
- Payment plans Off-plan payment plans in Dubai You spread the price across construction stages, and some developers let you pay even after handover. We show how the popular structures work and match a plan to your budget.
The best options across every community.
We look for opportunities in prestigious, established communities. We also look in communities that are only now emerging, before others discover them.

Before you start.
Can foreigners buy property in Dubai?
Yes. In freehold areas, foreign buyers can own property outright, and you do not need residency. ARHALI guides you through the whole purchase and the paperwork.
How much does it cost to buy property in Dubai?
Beyond the property price, budget for the 4% DLD transfer fee and registration costs, among others. The transactions we handle rarely fall below AED 1 million.
What is the difference between off-plan and resale property?
Off-plan means buying from the developer before or during construction, on a payment plan. The secondary market means ready properties from current owners, with ownership straight away.
Does buying property qualify you for the Golden Visa?
Buying property from AED 2 million may qualify you for the 10-year Golden Visa. We structure the purchase so it meets the programme's requirements.
