FROM HONG KONG
For Hong Kong investors, Dubai is a way to hold real estate outside Asia, in a market with its own currency, registry and residence route. Orven Properties presents a focused selection and manages the purchase with you remotely, from the first call to the title.
Investors used to a dense, high-value home market often look for a second base where off-plan homes are sold with staged payments. In Dubai, each sale is registered with the Dubai Land Department and off-plan payments are held in escrow, two points that make the framework readable from abroad.
We do not compare yields or price levels between the two cities: each project is judged on its own published terms, and your adviser walks you through them.
Many off-plan projects start with a first payment and spread the balance over construction. Prestige One, the developer of Hilton Residences, publishes 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on completion. The figures listed below are those displayed on our project pages today.
Figures shown on our project pages
Prices and payment plans as displayed on each project page, on the verification date printed there; availability is confirmed by your adviser.
A property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the right to apply for the UAE Golden Visa, under conditions to be confirmed with the authorities. For families who want a residence option outside Hong Kong, your adviser shows which projects and unit types can reach that level.
Funds are generally sent by international transfer: your bank confirms the documents it requires and the conversion terms. There is no tax on rental income or capital gains for individuals in the UAE; any tax due where you are resident is to be checked with your own adviser.
In Dubai, the DLD registration fee is 4% of the price.
Reservation, payment into the escrow account and DLD registration can be completed without flying to Dubai. Your Orven adviser books calls in your morning or evening and remains your single contact throughout.
