Where can I find reliable budgeting advice for buying my first home in Dubai?

Consult a financial advisor familiar with Dubai's real estate market. They'll help you understand all costs involved, from down payments to service charges. In my experience, buyers often overlook the 4% transfer fee and ongoing maintenance costs.

Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
