Buyers Guide

Your Complete Guide to Buying Property with GHL Properties

Buying a property in Dubai is an exciting step, whether you’re finding your dream home or making an investment for the future. At GHL Properties, we simplify the entire process — from choosing the right location to completing ownership transfer — with transparency and expert guidance.

1. Plan Your Purchase

Before you start searching, determine your goals, property type, and budget. Whether you’re buying for personal use or investment, it’s essential to plan for additional costs such as Dubai Land Department (DLD) fees, agency commission, and maintenance charges. A clear financial plan ensures a smooth buying experience.

2. Choose the Right Property and Location

Dubai offers a wide range of communities — from family-friendly neighborhoods to luxurious beachfront developments. Consider your lifestyle, accessibility, and potential for value appreciation. Browse our latest listings to explore villas, apartments, and commercial spaces tailored to your needs. Our expert agents are always available to help you find the perfect match.

3. Understand the Legal Process

Property ownership in Dubai is open to both UAE residents and foreign nationals within designated freehold areas. You’ll need a valid passport and proof of funds to proceed. GHL Properties will guide you through every legal requirement, ensuring compliance with RERA and DLD regulations, and help you prepare all necessary documents.

4. Secure the Deal

Once you’ve selected your property, we assist you in negotiating the best price and preparing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) — a legal agreement between buyer and seller. A 10% deposit is typically required to secure the property. Our team ensures full transparency and accuracy during this stage.

5. Complete the Transfer and Move In

After finalizing the agreement, the ownership transfer takes place at a DLD-approved trustee office. Once the title deed is issued, the property is officially yours. GHL Properties assists throughout the handover process and can also help you manage your property or find tenants if it’s an investment purchase.
