Buying in Al Markhaniyyah, Al Ain: rules and costs

• Ownership

  Abu Dhabi permits non UAE nationals to acquire property rights in designated investment areas, according to the Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat. Al Markhaniyyah is not among the areas named in that guide. Confirm ownership eligibility for a particular home with an advisor.

• Registration fees

  ADREC’s registration rules let the Executive Committee set the sale registration fee within 1% to 4% of the transaction, shared equally by seller and buyer unless they agree otherwise. For an off-plan sale in the initial register, the fee is 2%, shared equally between the parties and capped at AED 2,000,000 per transaction. The applicable fee and allocation form part of the purchase budget.

• Off-plan safeguards

  ADREC requires dispositions of units sold off plan to be entered in its initial register. Payments for off-plan units go into the project escrow account, whose use is governed by the project escrow rules. A payment schedule belongs to the specific contract; it is not a fixed feature of all homes in the district.

• Mortgage

  A mortgage is a loan secured against the home, with terms that depend on the borrower and lender. The Down Payment is the part of the purchase price the buyer contributes, while the loan is repaid over its term. Financing and the cost of a home should be considered together with the ongoing expenses of ownership.

• Golden Visa

  ICP, the federal authority that issues it, gives real estate investors a 10 year Golden Residency when the properties they fully own in the UAE are worth at least AED 2,000,000 together and are registered in their name. A property financed by an approved local bank qualifies, and so do off-plan units worth at least AED 2,000,000 bought from an approved developer. ICP decides each application.

• Ongoing costs

  Ownership can carry maintenance, insurance and, where applicable, service charges for shared facilities. These costs differ between a standalone home and a property with shared common parts. For an apartment, ADREC’s rules describe the owner’s undivided share in the common parts, alongside ownership of the unit.
