Freehold FAQs
What is freehold property in Dubai?
Freehold property in Dubai grants buyers full ownership rights to the land and building, with no time restrictions or nationality requirements. Freehold owners can sell, rent, or pass the property to heirs freely. This contrasts with leasehold (typically 99-year lease) and musataha (surface rights).
Can foreigners buy freehold property in Dubai?
Yes. Any foreign national can purchase freehold property in designated freehold zones. There is no nationality restriction, no minimum stay requirement, and no restriction on the number of properties owned. The purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the owner receives a title deed.
What are the main freehold areas in Dubai?
Key freehold zones include Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, and Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). These areas offer apartments, villas, and townhouses available for full ownership by all nationalities.
Does freehold qualify for Golden Visa?
Yes. A freehold property investment of AED 2M or more qualifies the buyer for a 10-year UAE Golden Visa, which grants UAE residency to the investor and their immediate family. The investment threshold is based on the purchase price registered with the DLD.
