Frequently asked questions

What makes a real estate broker in Dubai a top broker?
A top Dubai broker holds a valid RERA licence, is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and can show verified transaction history across the communities you are buying in. Beyond credentials, the practical markers are developer partner rankings, repeat and referral business, and whether the broker gives you comparable sale evidence rather than opinions. Union Square House is a RERA-licensed brokerage with top-partner rankings from Emaar, Nakheel, Tilal Al Ghaf, and Dubai Properties.
How much commission does a real estate broker charge in Dubai?
Standard brokerage commission in Dubai is 2% of the property price for a sale, paid by the buyer, and 5% of annual rent for a lease. On off-plan purchases the developer usually pays the commission, so the buyer pays nothing to the broker. The Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% is separate and is normally split between buyer and seller.
Do I need a broker to buy property in Dubai as a foreigner?
You are not legally required to use a broker, but foreign buyers almost always do. A RERA-licensed broker verifies the title deed and the seller's right to sell, secures the developer NOC, drafts Form F, and manages the Dubai Land Department transfer appointment. Buying in a designated freehold area is open to all nationalities with no residency requirement.
How do I check if a Dubai real estate broker is licensed?
Every practising agent in Dubai has a RERA broker card with a BRN number, and every brokerage has an ORN number. You can verify both through the Dubai REST app or the Dubai Land Department website. Ask for the BRN before signing any Form A or Form B; a licensed agent will provide it without hesitation.
Which areas of Dubai give the best rental yields in 2026?
Gross yields in Dubai currently run highest in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai South, and International City at roughly 7 to 9%, with Business Bay and Dubai Marina around 6 to 7% and prime Downtown and Palm Jumeirah closer to 5 to 6%. Yield alone is not the whole picture: service charges, void periods, and resale liquidity vary sharply between these communities.
How long does a property purchase take in Dubai?
A cash purchase of a ready property typically completes in 14 to 30 days from signed Form F to title transfer. A mortgage purchase runs 45 to 60 days, driven by valuation and final offer letter timing. Off-plan reservations complete in days, with payments then following the developer's construction-linked plan.
