An estimate, not a quotation. Government fees and developer terms change, and the defaults here come from published secondary sources rather than a live Dubai Land Department feed — last checked 2026-08-26. Confirm every figure against your SPA and the DLD before you transfer money. Nothing here is financial advice, and no return is guaranteed.
