Your Dubai address, arranged from India — shortlist to title deed.
Buy Dubai Properties works with one kind of client: the Indian buyer. We source directly from Sobha, Azizi and DAMAC, shortlist against your budget and yield target, walk the LRS remittance and paperwork through with your bank, and hand you a registered title — without a single site visit unless you want one.
Who we are
Indian nationals have been Dubai's largest foreign buyer group for years, and yet most of the buying journey is still built for someone standing in a sales gallery on Sheikh Zayed Road. We built this business the other way round: for a buyer sitting in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad or Kochi.
That means inventory sourced directly from the developer at launch pricing, an honest read on which unit actually lets, and a paperwork trail that a chartered accountant in India will be comfortable with — Form A2, TCS, Oqood, title deed.
Shortlists priced in AED and sanity-checked against what the same money buys in Mumbai or Bengaluru, so the comparison is real.
Launch-day allocations and payment plans from Sobha, Azizi and DAMAC — no sub-broker markup in between.
Book, sign the SPA and register the unit from India. A notarised power of attorney covers anything requiring a physical signature in Dubai.
We work to your LRS headroom, flag the TCS your bank will collect, and hand your CA a clean file at year end.
The case
Premium developers
We work with three of Dubai's most established names, which gives Indian investors direct access to launch allocations and ready stock. Two of them — Sobha and DAMAC — were founded by Indian entrepreneurs, and their India-facing service standards show it.
Founded by P.N.C. Menon in 1976 and familiar to Indian buyers from Bengaluru and Kerala. Backward-integrated construction — Sobha builds with its own trades — which is why its handover quality is the benchmark others are measured against.
One of Dubai's fastest-growing private developers, with more than 200 projects across Palm Jumeirah, Al Furjan and Dubai South. The natural entry point for a first Dubai purchase under AED 1.5M with a long payment plan.
Founded by Hussain Sajwani, DAMAC builds branded residences with Cavalli, Versace and Paramount. Strong short-let and holiday-home performance, and the developer most likely to have a furnished, rent-ready unit.
Buying from India
This is the actual sequence, in order, with the Indian-side paperwork named. Most clients complete it in four to six weeks; the remittance step is usually the one that sets the pace, because it runs at your bank's speed rather than ours.
We put three to five units in front of you with real yield and service-charge numbers, then place a booking to hold your preferred unit at launch pricing.
Form A2 through your bank under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme — up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year. Spouses can pool their limits if both are registered as co-owners.
The sale and purchase agreement is signed remotely. Where a physical signature is needed in Dubai, a power of attorney attested at the UAE Consulate in India covers it.
Off-plan units are recorded on the Oqood register; ready units transfer to a Title Deed in your name. The 4% Dubai Land Department fee is paid here.
Snagging, utilities, furnishing if you want it, then a managing agent to place and service the tenant. Rent reaches you without a trip to Dubai.
Remittances abroad for property or investment attract Tax Collected at Source at 20% on the amount above ₹10 lakh in a financial year. Your bank collects it — it is not a cost. TCS is credited against your Indian income tax liability and refunded if you have overpaid, so it affects your cash-flow timing rather than your return. We flag the number before you remit so nothing at the bank counter is a surprise.
Residency through investment
The property is the qualifying asset. Which visa it unlocks depends on the value and, in one case, whether the unit is complete. Buying at the wrong side of a threshold is the single most common and most expensive mistake we see — we model it before you commit.
A renewable ten-year residency for property investors, extending to your spouse and children of any age.
The accessible entry point, and the reason a first purchase is often sized deliberately at this level.
For applicants aged 55 and over — a common route for parents once the family already owns in Dubai.
Not sure which side of the threshold your budget sits on? We will map it before you shortlist, not after.

Yes. Purchase of immovable property outside India is a permitted transaction under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, provided it is funded within your annual limit and complies with FEMA. The property is held in your own name; no RBI pre-approval is needed for a purchase within the scheme.
USD 250,000 per resident individual per financial year (April to March), covering all LRS remittances combined, not just property. A couple can pool two limits — USD 500,000 — if both are registered as co-owners of the property. Payment plans on off-plan units mean many purchases are spread across two or three financial years by design.
Tax Collected at Source applies at 20% on LRS remittances for property or investment above ₹10 lakh in a financial year. Your bank collects it at the point of transfer. It is a tax credit, not a fee — it is set against your Indian income tax liability and refunded if you have overpaid. Budget for the cash-flow effect, not for a permanent loss.
If you are tax-resident in India, your global income is taxable in India, including Dubai rent, and the property must be disclosed in the foreign assets schedule of your return. The UAE levies no personal income tax on that rent, and the India–UAE double taxation avoidance agreement governs how the two systems interact. NRIs are treated differently again. We are brokers, not tax advisers — take this to your chartered accountant before you buy.
Yes. Several UAE banks lend to non-resident buyers, typically at a lower loan-to-value than they offer residents, with the balance funded from your own remittance. Terms vary by bank, nationality and property, so we get you an indicative offer before you commit to a unit rather than after.
No. Booking, SPA signature and registration can all be completed from India, with a consulate-attested power of attorney covering anything requiring physical presence. Golden Visa issuance does require one short trip for biometrics and a medical — and most clients want to see the building anyway.

A first call takes twenty minutes. Bring a number and a purpose — yield, residency, a home for the family, a place for a child at university — and we will come back with a shortlist and the remittance sequence to fund it.
