Answers

Everything overseas buyers ask before buying.

Can foreigners own villas in Dubai?

Yes. Greenz sits in a designated freehold area where non-residents own 100% of the property and title. No local sponsor or partner required.

Is the title freehold?

Yes. Greenz units are sold as freehold and registered with the Dubai Land Department in your name — same legal rights as a UAE national.

What if construction is delayed?

Payments sit in an escrow account regulated by RERA and are only released against verified construction milestones. If handover slips, your money is protected by Dubai's escrow law.

Can I sell before completion?

Yes. Once you've paid roughly 30–40% of the purchase price you can resell the unit on the secondary market. The developer registers the transfer for a small admin fee.

What happens to my payments if I default?

The developer can cancel the SPA and resell the unit. Refunds depend on how much you've paid and the cancellation clause — typically a portion is withheld. The full clause is in the SPA we send with the brochure.

Who manages the property if I rent it out?

Future Legacy Real Estate offers rental management: tenant sourcing, Ejari registration, rent collection, and routine maintenance. Typical fee is 5% of annual rent.

What rental yield is realistic for this area?

For furnished villas in Academic City, 6–7% gross is realistic based on current comparables. Net yield after management and maintenance is typically 5–6%.

Do I need to fly to Dubai to buy?

No. The full process — reservation, SPA signing, DLD registration — can be completed remotely with electronic signature. We arrange document attestation in your country if your bank requires it.

What are the additional fees (DLD, agent, registration)?

DLD transfer fee is 4% of the purchase price, plus around AED 5,000–10,000 in Oqood and registration fees. There is no agent fee — we are paid by the developer.

Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?

UAE banks lend up to 50–60% loan-to-value to non-residents on completed properties. Off-plan mortgages are rarer and usually only activate close to handover.

What taxes apply in my home country?

Dubai charges nothing on rental income or capital gains, but your home country may. We strongly recommend speaking to a tax advisor before signing.

What's included in "fully furnished"?

Italian Dolce Vita furniture in every room: sofas, beds, dining, wardrobes, plus appliances (fridge, oven, washing machine, A/C). You move in with a suitcase.

Not quite the right fit?

We work with most major developers in Dubai.

If Greenz isn't a match, tell us what is. We'll send options that fit.
