Your questions about our fees

Who pays the agency fee in Dubai?

It depends on the service. On a resale, the buyer pays 2% of the purchase price + VAT. Off-plan, the developer pays the agency's commission in the vast majority of cases. The seller pays 2% of the sale price + VAT, only if the sale goes through. For a letting, the tenant pays 5% of the annual rent + VAT (minimum AED 5,000 (≈ EUR 1,230)). Property management costs the owner 5% of the annual rent + VAT.

Is VAT added to the fees?

Yes. The 5% UAE VAT applies to the fees. For a resale purchase at AED 2,000,000 (≈ EUR 493,000), the fee is AED 40,000 (≈ EUR 9,860), plus AED 2,000 (≈ EUR 493) VAT, i.e. AED 42,000 (≈ EUR 10,300).

Does buying off-plan with you cost me a fee?

In the vast majority of cases, no: the developer pays the agency's commission and you pay no fee. We confirm this in writing before any reservation. The public costs of the purchase still apply: our buying costs guide calculates them.

What happens if my property does not sell?

You pay nothing. The sale fee, 2% of the price + VAT, is due only if the sale goes through. The RERA listing agreement (Form A) is signed before marketing, with these terms in writing.

I am letting my property: what does it cost me?

Nothing for the letting: the tenant pays 5% of the annual rent + VAT, with a minimum of AED 5,000 (≈ EUR 1,230). For a rent of AED 120,000 (≈ EUR 29,600) a year, the tenant pays AED 6,000 (≈ EUR 1,480) plus AED 300 (≈ EUR 74) VAT. If you also entrust us with management, it costs you 5% of the annual rent + VAT.

Are DLD fees included in your fees?

No. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) fee of 4% plus fixed fees, the trustee office and bank charges are public costs, separate from our fees. Our buying costs guide calculates them for your price.
