CYUAE TOOLS · DUBAI PROPERTY

The price is only
the starting point.

HOW TO READ THE RESULT

Keep the property cost and the funding separate.

Price + costs shows the modelled acquisition amount. Buyer cash required deducts the assumed loan from the price and adds costs and your optional reserve. The loan remains a liability; it does not reduce what the property costs.

The 2% brokerage and 5% service VAT inputs are editable examples, not a quotation. Zero in other costs means nothing has been budgeted there. Confirm every amount before committing.

DLD’s sale-registration page lists 2% for each party, unit-related fees and service-partner tiers. The buyer allocation remains an explicit model input.

DLD’s mortgage-registration page lists 0.25% of the mortgage value. Additional mortgage service, title and bank charges need a transaction-specific quote and must be added without duplication.
