What it costs to buy in Jumeirah Beach Residence
Budgeting beyond the sticker price matters. On a median Jumeirah Beach Residence purchase of AED 2,500,000, a cash buyer should plan for roughly AED 150,000 in transaction costs: the Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4% (about AED 100,000), agency commission is typically 2% (about AED 50,000), 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 6.46% headline gross yield across areas.
