Top Real Estate Companies, Projects & Payment Plans
Major developers consistently provide competitive payment schedules to attract regional buyers:
- Danube Properties: Known for ultra-flexible, extended payment plans. Danube often features 0.5% monthly installments until handover, alongside limited-time promotions with up to 8% to 16% total discounts.
- Emaar Properties: Standard plans, such as 80/20 or 70/30, require buyers to pay 70-80% during construction and 20-30% upon handover. They frequently run 4% DLD waiver promotions on select prime launches (like the Dubai Islands projects).
- DAMAC Properties: Typically provides structured 50/50 or 70/30 plans, with generous 4% DLD fee waivers offered during special seasonal or mega-sales events.
- Sobha Realty: Frequently features a 40/60 or 50/50 payment split, paired with DLD fee waivers and specific mortgage support options with banks like Emirates NBD.
- DLD Waiver Highlights
- What is it? The Dubai Land Department mandates a standard 4% transfer fee on all real estate transactions. A DLD waiver means the developer absorbs or completely pays this upfront fee on your behalf.
- The Savings: On an apartment priced at AED 1,000,000, the waiver saves you exactly AED 40,000 in upfront closing costs.
- Conditions: Waivers are generally valid only for off-plan (pre-construction) properties during specific launch periods, expo promotions, or developer sales events
