What AED 150k reserves on each payment plan

Developers in Dubai ask for a booking payment, often called the down payment, when you reserve: 5% to 20% of the price on the projects we track. The Dubai Land Department then registers the sale on Oqood for 4% of the price plus AED 20, paid when the sale is registered at the start of the plan. This is the highest price AED 150,000 covers at each booking level.

Booking paymentHighest priceBooking payment in AEDOqood fee
5%AED 1,666,000AED 83,300AED 66,660
10%AED 1,071,000AED 107,100AED 42,860
15%AED 789,000AED 118,350AED 31,580
20%AED 624,000AED 124,800AED 24,980

Some developers add an administration fee of their own. Ask for every amount due at booking in writing before you pay.

What you pay after reserving

On the projects above, a further 10% to 60% of the price is paid in instalments, and 30% to 80% at or after handover. Maison Elysée III, Omya Residences, Samana Boulevard Heights and Samana Greenfield are paid at 1% a month, and the instalments can run past handover. The amounts below are at the starting prices.

If you plan to borrow for the handover payment, a bank may lend up to 50% of an off-plan home's price under the Central Bank of the UAE's limits, depending on its policy for the project. Speak to a bank before you reserve, not at handover. Mortgages for off-plan property explains when banks lend.

Making AED 150k go further

  • Look for plans with a 5% or 10% booking payment: off-plan with a low down payment.
  • Studios and one-bedroom homes in districts still being built cost less to reserve. Among the projects we track, the lowest starting prices are in Al Furjan, Dubai Production City, Dubailand and JVC.
  • Some developers cover the 4% DLD fee as a limited-time offer, as DAMAC did, with conditions, in September 2026. DLD says only the Ruler of Dubai can waive its fees, so the developer pays it for you: get the offer in writing.
  • A low booking payment is not a lower price: more of it falls due later. Compare the total due before handover, not only the first payment.
  • Agree in writing what happens if construction is delayed, and when and how the handover payment is due.

How much you need to buy off-plan in Dubai works it out for any amount.

Before you pay a booking deposit

  1. The developer and the project.Confirm who the developer is and that the project is registered with the Dubai Land Department.
  2. The escrow account.Match the account number on the advert with the one in your sale agreement, and pay into no other account.
  3. The project's progress.Look it up on DLD's Project Status Enquiry, Mashrooi in the Dubai REST app: it shows the completion percentage and the escrow bank and account number.
  4. The advertising permit.Since April 2024 each off-plan unit needs its own Trakheesi permit.
  5. The payment plan.Read every instalment's amount and what triggers it: a date, or a stage of construction.
  6. The full cost.The 4% Oqood fee, any developer charges, and the service charge after handover. Buying off-plan in Dubai covers each in detail.

Questions buyers ask

Can I buy off-plan property in Dubai with AED 150k?

Yes, if the price and the booking payment fit. AED 150,000 covers the booking payment and the 4% Oqood fee on a home priced up to about AED 1,071,000 where the developer asks 10% at booking, or AED 1,666,000 where it asks 5%. The rest of the price is paid in instalments during construction and at or after handover.

What does AED 150,000 have to cover when buying off-plan?

The developer's booking payment, 5% to 20% of the price on the projects we track, and the Dubai Land Department's Oqood registration fee of 4% of the price plus AED 20. Ask the developer in writing for any administration fee of its own.

Which off-plan projects can I reserve with AED 150k?

Today: Azizi Sikander, Vista by Vision, Azizi Milan, Maison Elysée III and 14 more. The list above changes as developers change prices and plans.

How do I pay the rest of the price?

In the instalments the payment plan sets: during construction, often tied to construction stages or to dates, then at handover, and on some plans after it. Under the Central Bank of the UAE's limits, a bank may lend up to 50% of an off-plan home's price.

Is it safe to pay a booking deposit on an off-plan home in Dubai?

Payments must go into the project's escrow account under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, which can be used only to build that project. Check that the escrow account number on the advert matches the one in the sale agreement, and pay into no other account.
