Dubai Launches New Scheme to Help First-Time Property Buyers

The government in Dubai has introduced to enhance real estate purchase by the first time buyer and this has made property acquisition easier among the UAE residents. The programme was announced by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), the department of economy and tourism on July 2, 2025. All UAE residents aged 18 years or above and have not before owned a house in Dubai are open to it.

This program is crafted in partnership with more than 13 property developers, five leading financial institutions, and other partners and is designed to provide specific benefits to the residents so that they can experience the first step onto the property ladder. The programme equates with the economic-oriented D33 strategy of Dubai that aims at promoting economic growth and focusing on the quality of life of its residents.

Its major advantages are:

First chance to new real estates offers

Residential units at preferential prices

Partner banks flexible mortgage possibilities

Waiving of property registration fees with interest The rules of property registration are handled on an interest free basis when paying the fees involved.

The candidates should have a valid Emirates ID as well as first-time purchasers in Dubai with a home purchase value less than or equal to AED 5 million. Renting and selling of the property after is not restricted.

This was the plan which is slated to increase the number of investors moving to Dubai where Majid Al Marri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at DLD stated approximately 10,000 new investors are transferring to the city every month. Khalid Al Shaibani, Rental Affairs Department Director underlined that the process is aimed at being easy and all-inclusive.

The interested residents can signup on the DLD site or the Dubai REST app by providing their information on housing preferences, budget, and the method of contact. Developers will then contact them directly with offers and banks will be advised to help finance them. The registration can take place through an authorised real estate broker as well.

According to Al Shaibani, this programme is actually aimed at easing the way toward people becoming a homeowner in Dubai.
