Buying in Al Najda Street: rules and costs
Ownership
Foreign nationals may own property in designated Abu Dhabi investment zones. Al Najda Street and Al Danah are not on the list of investment zones in our expat guide, and outside those zones a non UAE national does not get freehold title. An apartment owner holds the unit and an undivided share of the common parts under the registration rules.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat and ADREC registration rules, October 2026.
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. The fee applies to the transaction, so the amount and the allocation belong in the purchase budget.
Source: ADREC registration rules and Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat, October 2026.
Off plan purchases
For an off plan sale, the disposition is entered in the initial real estate register. The fee is 2% of the property value, shared equally by seller and buyer, capped at AED 2,000,000 per transaction. Payments for units sold off plan go into the project’s escrow account. A developer’s payment schedule sets out the instalments due under the agreement.
Source: ADREC registration rules and Masterpiece Property guide to buying off-plan property in Abu Dhabi, October 2026.
Mortgage
The loan is secured on the home, and the lender values the property when assessing the amount it will finance. The Down Payment comes from the buyer’s own funds, and a lower valuation than the agreed price can leave a larger cash difference.

Golden Residency
ICP provides a 10 year Golden Residency for eligible real estate investors. The investor must fully own and register property in their name, with one or several properties together worth AED 2,000,000 or more. Financing from an approved local bank and qualifying off plan purchases from an approved developer are permitted under ICP’s conditions. ICP decides the application.
Source: ICP: UAE Golden Residency, read October 2026.
Service charges
A home in a shared building has common parts, and the owner’s share is tied to the contribution percentage in the building documents. Service charges cover shared maintenance and are an ongoing cost alongside any home loan and personal maintenance. Obtain the building’s current statement when assessing the cost of a particular apartment.
