Distressed properties are a highly advantageous proposition to investors, since they are usually sold way below market value. In this case, the seller is extremely motivated and offers a generous discount to increase the speed of transaction. This way, you have the opportunity to buy a property at a bargain as it is much lower than its original or current market price.

Important Factors to Consider Before Buying a Distressed Property

Conduct thorough due diligence

It is recommended to verify all relevant papers, including title deeds and building permits to ensure the lawfulness of the deal.

Inspect the property beforehand

If the property is completed, you can hire snagging specialists that will help find hidden issues in the unit and protect you from overpaying.

Manage cash flow

Investing in distressed real estate frequently requires upfront payments, so you have to be prepared for any unforeseen expenses that may arise following the initial purchase, such as renovating a completed property.

Associated Fees of Distressed Property Purchase in Dubai

You have to take into account the following fees, in addition to the property costs itself:

  • The DLD fee is the cost of registering a transaction with the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
  • A property registration fee is charged by the DLD and is based on the value of the real estate.
  • The Title Deed costs AED 250 (USD 68).
  • The security deposit amounts to at least 10% of the property value.
  • The real estate agent fee is the payment for services provided by the agent.

DISCLAIMER: Fees depend on the type and cost of the property you choose to acquire and may change periodically.
