Buying in Al Karamah: rules and costs
Ownership
Foreign buyers can own homes in designated investment zones in Abu Dhabi. Al Karamah is not on the list of investment zones in our expat guide, and outside those zones a non UAE national does not get freehold title. Ownership of an apartment includes an undivided share of its common parts.

Sale registration
ADREC’s registration rules let the Executive Committee set the sale registration fee within 1% to 4%, shared equally by seller and buyer unless they agree otherwise. For an off-plan sale in the initial register, the fee is 2%, divided equally, with a maximum of AED 2,000,000 per transaction.
Source: ADREC registration rules, October 2026.
Off-plan purchases
Payments for units sold off plan go into the project’s escrow account. The initial real estate register records off-plan dispositions, and registration is necessary for those dispositions to be binding. Payment schedules and contract terms are specific to the project; an off-plan purchase also means waiting for the home to be completed. The register records the disposition before the completed home is transferred to the buyer.

Mortgage
A lender assesses the home as well as the borrower. The mortgage guide explains that lending is based on the valuation: if it is lower than the agreed price, the buyer must cover the difference. A Down Payment and the bank’s valuation and arrangement costs belong in the overall budget, alongside registration costs.

Golden Residency
ICP offers eligible real estate investors a 10 year Golden Residency. One or more properties must total at least AED 2,000,000 and be fully owned and registered in the investor’s name; financing through an approved local bank can qualify. Off-plan units of at least AED 2,000,000 bought from an approved developer can also qualify, and ICP decides applications.

Service charges
The owner of a property with shared facilities may face recurring service costs. Ask for the current statement for the particular home. The ADREC rules recognise an owner’s undivided share in common parts.
