Apartments in United Arab Emirates
Apartments lead the UAE market on RealEstateAbroad with 7,296 of 26,932 current listings. They are the entry point for most overseas buyers, because freehold ownership is available to foreigners in designated zones across several emirates.
Where foreigners can own
Each emirate sets its own rules. Dubai and Abu Dhabi both allow foreigners to own freehold property in designated areas; Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain also have defined zones open to non-citizens, with varying details and fees. Before you pay a deposit, confirm that the building sits inside an approved freehold zone and ask for the title or Oqood registration for off-plan units.
Prices in listings
For all UAE property types, the median asking price is €535,533, with the middle half between €292,109 and €1,022,381. The median per m² is €4,324. Apartments in Dubai marina and downtown areas trend high, while Ajman, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain offer lower entry points. The one-bedroom group is the largest, with 2,872 listings across the UAE, then two-bedroom (2,434) and three-bedroom (1,798).

Where flats cluster
Dubai has the deepest market and the most off-plan launches. Abu Dhabi offers a more measured market with investment-zone freehold. Ras Al Khaimah is a growing resort-led option. Compare villas when you need a garden.
Costs and protections
- Dubai Land Department fee is typically 4% of the price, plus registration fees; Abu Dhabi charges a lower ratio.
- Agent commission often 2%.
- Service charges are levied per sq ft annually; ask for the latest rate and arrears.
- Off-plan payments should go into a regulated escrow account.
- No annual property tax in most emirates, though municipality fees can apply.
- Residency. Qualifying property investments have supported long-term visas, but thresholds change; verify.

Frequently asked questions
Can non-residents buy in the UAE?
Yes, in freehold zones. Non-residents can also obtain mortgages, usually at lower loan-to-value than residents.
What is Oqood?
It is the off-plan registration system in Dubai for contracts on units not yet completed. Ask for the Oqood certificate for any off-plan purchase.
Are service charges negotiable?
No. They are set by the building's owners' association and approved by the regulator. Compare charges between buildings before choosing.
Do I need to visit before buying?
Not legally, since a power of attorney can be used, but viewing the building and developer track record is advisable.
