Dubai property for Paris investors

Buying, selling or investing in Dubai or Abu Dhabi from Paris, with an adviser on the ground in Dubai.

Short answerClients living in Paris can buy freehold property in Dubai's designated areas without relocating. Tarek Wazzan, Senior Property Consultant at NAAS Properties in Dubai, handles the shortlist, video viewings and document checks, and schedules calls in Paris time. Dubai is 3 hours ahead of in the northern winter and 2 hours in the northern summer Paris. He advises on UAE property only and holds no licence or listings in France.

Working together from Paris

Paris is 2 to 3 hours behind Dubai, so a normal working day overlaps. Most of the work happens on WhatsApp and video: a first call about your goal and budget, then a shortlist with prices checked against DLD-registered sales and every fee added up, then live or recorded video viewings.

Buyers from Paris often want a lock-up-and-leave apartment in Downtown Dubai or a villa in Dubai Hills Estate, and want every fee written down before they decide.

What Paris clients usually ask about

Before you pay anything

  • For ready homes: the title deed, the service charge history and recent sales in the same building.
  • For off-plan: the project's DLD registration, its escrow account and the construction progress.
  • The full cost, including the 4% DLD fee in Dubai or the 2% DARI registration fee in Abu Dhabi.
  • Tax in France: take advice there on your own position. I advise on the UAE side only.
