Hear our happy customers!

We purchased a property in Dubai through Ms. Puupponen and her real estate agency – with the aim of initially renting it out and perhaps using it ourselves later.

We felt very well looked after right from the start. Ms. Puupponen was extremely friendly, committed, patient and helpful at all times. She took a lot of time to answer all our questions in detail and guided us professionally through the entire purchase process.

Communication was always clear and reliable and we felt well informed at all times. We were particularly impressed by how uncomplicated and personal the contact was – this is not a matter of course, especially with a property abroad.

We are very satisfied with the entire process and can highly recommend Ms. Puupponen as a real estate agent. It was a very pleasant experience – thank you very much for the great support!

A heartfelt thank you for an exceptionally great service!

I would like to thank EPH Real Estate and especially Ms. Mirva Puupponen from the bottom of my heart. From the very first contact I felt that I was in the best hands here. With a lot of passion, expertise and impressive professionalism, Ms. Puupponen guided me through the search for my vacation property.
What made this experience so special was not only her high level of expertise, but above all her personal commitment. I felt well advised, understood and supported at all times – as if it had been a project close to her heart. Despite the time difference, she was always available and that really impressed me!
Ms Puupponen was also on hand with help and advice during the preparations for the subsequent modernization. No request was too small, no question remained unanswered. It was a collaboration at eye level, characterized by trust, clarity and genuine cordiality.
I am more than satisfied and can recommend EPH Real Estate and Ms. Mirva Puupponen in particular with full conviction. If you are looking for honest, committed and competent support for a real estate project, you have come to the right place.
Once again: Many, many thanks!

It was a pleasure being represented by EPH in the sale of my apartment, they made the whole selling process very easy and stress free and I would highly recommend. Special thank you to Tiina and Mirva for all their hard work.

EPH have been a great advisor throughout our property sale transaction. Right from finding the suited buyer till the final cash into account. They have been very professional in all the dealing, preparing documentation in compliance with local authorities and good knowlegde of the DLD procedures. It is also commemdable that they have a good resource of niche and reliable clients. In our process we also found them well connected with developers as well. Overall a great experience for me and my wife. Special thanks to Mirva and Azizjon, wishing you both all the very best.

The company helped me to include real estate in Dubai in my portfolio. I invested in a new-build apartment in Dubai Creek Harbour. The professional service, from handing over the keys to furnishing and finding tenants, and of course the returns achieved, exceeded my expectations.

The company assisted me in the selection and purchase of my first overseas property. I invested in a 3-bedroom apartment in Business Bay. The apartment is now successfully rented out as a vacation property. I am extremely satisfied with their all-round service and the returns achieved. Absolutely recommendable.

We were interested in Dubai as a real estate market that was completely new to us. I was able to successfully realize my investment, a terraced house in a great, green residential area in Dubai. I was impressed by the transparent communication in German and the excellent advice.

FAQ – everything you need to know

The incidental purchase costs in Dubai vary depending on the type of property. The usual additional costs include:

  • Government fees: 4% of the purchase price paid to the Dubai Land Department.
  • Brokerage commissions: These are usually 2-3% of the purchase price.
  • Notary fees: These are calculated as a lump sum and amount to around €1,000 to €2,000.

In addition, depending on the individual situation, there may be costs for powers of attorney or other transaction costs.
When purchasing real estate as part of a project launch, there are no estate agent commissions – even if you are accompanied by an estate agent like us throughout the entire purchase process.

In principle, it is possible to obtain financing for real estate in Dubai through banks. Some German banks also offer financing for real estate abroad. The exact financing options depend on various factors. We will be happy to provide you with individual advice.

In brief: After the consultation and selection of the property, the purchase contract is signed and a down payment of 10% of the purchase price is made. The notary appointment takes place 30 to 60 days after the contract is signed, at which the purchase price payment is verified and ownership is transferred immediately.

The title deed is the final proof of ownership and is issued after full payment and completion of the transaction at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), provided the property is completed. There is a separate property registry called Oqood for properties that are not yet completed.

No, there is no tax on rental income in Dubai. These are tax-free, which makes the real estate market particularly attractive for investors. However, depending on your tax situation and tax residency, the rental income could be taxed in another country.

Yes, for real estate investments of AED 750,000 (approx. EUR 190,000) or more, it is possible to obtain a temporary residence permit. The duration and conditions of this permit depend on the amount invested. In addition, the requirements for the so-called Golden Visa (10-year visa) have now been relaxed.

Investing in Dubai is considered relatively safe due to several factors:

  • Stable economy: Dubai has a diversified and stable economy that is not only dependent on oil, but also on trade, tourism and real estate. This contributes to economic resilience.
  • Regulated real estate market: The real estate market is strictly regulated by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), making transactions more transparent and secure. All transactions are documented and monitored, protecting both buyers and sellers.
  • Legal protection: Clear laws and regulations govern real estate purchases, including ownership rights for foreigners in certain zones.
  • Infrastructure and development: Dubai is continuously investing in its infrastructure, which further strengthens confidence in the real estate market. Major projects such as Expo 2020, as well as the growing development of real estate and tourism facilities, promote long-term growth.
  • Tax benefits: There are no taxes on rental income or capital gains from real estate, making Dubai a particularly attractive location for investors.

An off-plan purchase is the purchase of a property that is still under construction or in the planning phase. Buyers often benefit from lower prices and flexible payment plans.

Brief process of an off-plan purchase:

  1. selection of the property and developer: the buyer selects a project from a reputable developer in a preferred location.
  2. reservation agreement and down payment: The buyer concludes a reservation agreement and usually pays 5-10% of the purchase price.
  3. purchase agreement (SPA): After the down payment, the purchase agreement is signed, which regulates the payment structure and conditions.
  4. payment plan during the construction phase: Further payments are made in installments, depending on the progress of construction (usually 4-6 installments).
  5. completion and handover: After inspection and acceptance of the property, the remaining amount is paid and the title deed is handed over.

Yes, property owners can rent out their properties. Rental contracts are usually for one year and the rental income is tax-free in Dubai. The rent is usually paid in advance for the whole year. The rental agreement must be registered with the Dubai Land Department. You also have the option of renting out your property as a short-term vacation home. In this area we work together with competent partners in our network.

The Dubai Land Department is responsible for the registration and regulation of all real estate sales and transfers. It ensures that all transactions are legal and secure and issues the title deeds.

“Oqood” is a service provided by the Dubai Land Department for the registration of off-plan property purchases. It protects the rights of buyers in off-plan purchases by allowing provisional registration of the property before construction is completed.

Yes, many transactions can be completed remotely. Buyers can give a power of attorney to a lawyer or agent to carry out the purchase process for them in Dubai. We will be happy to advise you on this.

Many developers offer payment plans where the buyer pays the purchase price in installments. These plans vary, often involving payments during construction and in some cases payments after handover, known as a “Post-Handover Payment Plan”.
