Frequently asked questions

Which Dubai developers offer 5% down off-plan?

Binghatti, Danube, Samana, Azizi, and some Tiger Properties launches regularly offer 5% booking. Emaar, Damac, Sobha and Nakheel typically require 10–20%.

What is the cheapest off-plan deposit in Dubai?

5% of the property price + DLD 4% + Oqood AED 3,000. For a AED 1M unit that is roughly AED 93,000 total day-one cash.

Is a low down payment a good deal?

It improves cash leverage but front-loads instalments. Always compare total cash paid to handover, not just the booking number. A 5/95 plan often becomes effectively 40/60 once construction milestones hit.

Can I get DLD waiver with a low down payment?

Yes — many 5/95 and 10/90 launches bundle DLD waiver as a launch incentive. The developer absorbs the 4% transfer fee at registration.

Do banks finance a low down payment off-plan unit?

Yes, but only after 50% construction completion. Until then, you fund the developer plan directly from cash or post-dated cheques.
