Yes, buying property in Dubai is considered safe, especially if you follow the proper legal procedures and work with reputable professionals like Armaan Capital Real Estate. Here's a breakdown of why it's safe—and what to watch out for:

Why It’s Safe:

• ● Strong Legal Framework: Dubai has a well-developed legal system for property transactions. Freehold property ownership for foreigners is allowed in designated areas.
• ● Clear Title Deeds: Property ownership is officially registered and documented with the DLD. Buyers receive a title deed as proof of ownership.
• ● Escrow Accounts: For off-plan properties, developers are required to use escrow accounts—meaning your money goes into a secure account monitored by the DLD and not directly to the developer until certain project milestones are met.
• ● Reputable Developers & Agencies: Dubai is home to world-renowned developers (like Emaar, Nakheel, etc.), and licensed real estate agents must be registered with RERA.
• ● No Property Tax: Dubai doesn’t impose annual property taxes, which makes it attractive for long-term investors.

What to Watch Out For:

• ● Off-Plan Risks: Always buy from a RERA-approved developer. Ensure that your installments will be paid into a secure escrow account.
• ● Hidden Fees: Be aware of fees like DLD registration (usually 4%), agent commission (typically 2%), and admin fees. Ask for a full cost breakdown.
• ● Title Verification: Confirm the property is free of debts or mortgages before purchase—your agent or a lawyer can assist with this.
• ● Illegal Brokers: Only work with RERA-licensed agents. You can verify them through the Dubai REST app or the DLD website. Avoid non-experienced brokers, especially if they are not holding official employment under a licensed real estate brokerage firm.
