What it costs to buy in Dubai Silicon Oasis
Budgeting beyond the sticker price matters. On a median Dubai Silicon Oasis purchase of AED 900,000, a cash buyer should plan for roughly AED 54,000 in transaction costs: the Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4% (about AED 36,000), agency commission is typically 2% (about AED 18,000), plus smaller trustee, NOC and mortgage-registration fees where applicable.
Annual service charges also vary by tower and should be checked per building, as they directly reduce net rental yield. Factor them in before comparing the 6.27% headline gross yield across areas.
