Buying in Al Nahyan: rules and costs
Who can buy
Al Nahyan is not on the investment zone list in the Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat, where foreign buyers can own freehold; confirm the title of the particular home before buying. For an apartment, ADREC rules describe ownership of the unit together with an undivided share in the common parts.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat and ADREC registration rules, October 2026.
Registration costs
ADREC's registration rules let the Executive Committee set the sale registration fee within 1% to 4%, divided equally between the two parties unless they make a different agreement. For a sale in the initial off-plan register, the fee is 2% of the property value, shared equally, capped at AED 2,000,000 per transaction.
Source: ADREC registration rules, October 2026.
Off-plan purchases
An off-plan home is sold before completion, with the developer setting the payment schedule in the contract. ADREC requires dispositions involving off-plan units to be entered in the initial register, and buyer payments for units sold off plan go into the project escrow account. The contract and the registered project are the relevant documents for the particular purchase.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to buying off-plan property in Abu Dhabi and ADREC registration rules, October 2026.
Mortgage and Down Payment
A mortgage is secured against the property, and the lender assesses the borrower as well as the home. The loan limit is measured against the valuation, so a valuation below the agreed price leaves a difference to fund. The Down Payment comes from the buyer’s own funds; lender charges and insurance also belong in the budget.
Source: Masterpiece Property mortgage guide, October 2026.
Golden Visa
ICP, the federal authority that issues it, gives real estate investors a 10 year Golden Residency when the homes they hold in the UAE are worth at least AED 2,000,000 together and are fully owned and 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.
Source: ICP, UAE Golden Residency, updated September 2026.
Service charges
Owners should allow for service charges and maintenance as ongoing costs after purchase. Charges relate to the upkeep of shared property and may differ between buildings. The latest building statement is useful for assessing the recurring cost of a particular apartment alongside the purchase price.
