Understanding Off-Plan Resale in Dubai
Off-plan property resale in Dubai has become an increasingly popular investment strategy. When you purchase an off-plan property directly from a developer, you typically pay in installments according to a construction-linked payment plan. If property values appreciate before completion, you can sell your contract at a premium to another buyer.
This calculator helps you understand the complete financial picture of such a transaction, including the cash required upfront, transfer fees, and remaining obligations to the developer.
Key Components of Off-Plan Resale
- Refund to Seller: The amount already paid to the developer that the buyer must reimburse
- Seller's Premium: The profit margin between original price and asking price
- DLD Transfer Fees: Dubai Land Department charges 4% of transaction value plus admin fees
- Remaining Payment Plan: Future installments the buyer assumes from the seller
