Können Ausländer Immobilien in Abu Dhabi kaufen?
✓ Ja — ausländische Käufer können Immobilien in Abu Dhabi erwerben
Foreign nationals can purchase property in designated freehold zones in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In freehold areas, you own the property outright. Most prime developments are in freehold areas. No residency requirement to buy.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Kaufprozess in Abu Dhabi
Zeitplan: 30–60 days for resale properties. Off-plan (new developments) complete at handover, which may be 1–3 years away.
Select property & sign MOU
The MOU (Memorandum of Understanding), also called Form F, is a binding agreement between buyer and seller that locks in the price, payment terms and completion date. You pay a deposit of typically 10% at this stage.
NOC from developer
For resale properties (secondary market), the developer must confirm there are no outstanding service charges or disputes on the unit. This No Objection Certificate (NOC) clears the property for transfer. Takes 1–2 weeks and costs AED 500–5,000 depending on the developer.
Transfer at DLD
Both buyer and seller attend the Dubai Land Department (DLD) — the official government body that registers all property ownership in Dubai. You pay the remaining balance and all fees, and receive the title deed (proof of ownership) on the same day.
Register mortgage (if applicable)
If you are financing the purchase with a mortgage, your bank registers a legal charge against the property at the DLD. This adds a 0.25% mortgage registration fee to your costs.
