Dubai South, Dubai: buyer questions
How much does property in Dubai South cost?

The developers are Expo City Dubai (Expo Dubai Group), the government-owned master developer of the Expo 2020 site, Dubai South Properties (the master developer's residential arm), Dugasta Properties (Dugasta Properties Development LLC), Meydan Sobha (Meydan Group and Sobha Group joint venture), Riviera Group (Riviera Properties Development) and Swank Development (Swank Real Estate). Each project page prints the developer's payment plan, the handover date on record and whether the project is registered with the Dubai Land Department.
What does a buyer pay on top of the price in Dubai South?
The fees are Dubai's, the same in Dubai South as in any other community: a 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, a registration fee (the trustee office on a ready unit, Oqood on an off-plan one) and, on a resale, an agency fee that is usually 2%. On the entry price here of AED 600K, the DLD fee alone is AED 24K, about Rs 6 lakh. There is no annual property tax, no stamp duty and no capital-gains tax. Off-plan instalments go into a DLD-regulated escrow account (Law 8 of 2007), released to the developer against construction milestones. A buyer paying from India remits under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, USD 250,000 per person per financial year.
Does buying in Dubai South qualify for the Golden Visa?
The 10-year Golden Visa needs property worth AED 2 million or more, ready or off-plan, with or without a mortgage. 5 of the 7 priced Dubai South projects here start at or above AED 2 million; in the others it takes a larger unit or two properties whose combined value crosses the line. The visa covers the buyer, spouse and children, and does not need a sponsor.
