Freehold Ownership for Foreigners in Al Merkadh Dubai
Freehold ownership means registering the property in the buyer’s name on a title deed issued by the Land Department, with the right to sell, rent, and bequeath without a specified term, in accordance with applicable laws. Sobha Hartland projects are within the freehold area of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, allowing foreigners to purchase units in their names. For the full legal framework, refer to the guide Freehold Areas in Dubai for Foreigners.
Before purchasing, make sure to:
Check the type of ownership: Not every plot of land in Al Merkadh follows the same system, so review the type of ownership stated on the title deed or “Oqood” contract before payment.
Register the transaction officially: The property is transferred through an accredited registration trustee office at the Land Department.
Residence is not a requirement: Non-residents of the UAE can purchase freehold properties and register them in their names.

Fees and Costs of Buying Property in Al Merkadh Dubai
The advertised price does not represent the final purchase cost; the following items are added:
Ownership transfer fee: 4% of the property value to the Land Department, usually borne by the buyer unless otherwise agreed.
Registration trustee office fees: 2,000 AED for properties under 500,000 AED, and 4,000 AED for those above, plus VAT.
Title deed issuance fee: 580 AED for apartments and villas.
Brokerage commission: Usually 2% of the property value plus VAT, when buying through a broker.
Mortgage costs if financed: 0.25% of the loan amount plus 290 AED, in addition to valuation and bank fees.
After ownership: Annual service charges calculated according to the approved building budget.
Illustrative example (not a price offer): For an apartment valued at 1,000,000 AED purchased in cash, the department, registration trustee, and title deed fees amount to about 44,780 AED, rising to about 65,780 AED when adding a 2% brokerage commission with VAT.

Real Estate Investment Opportunities and Rental Yields in Al Merkadh
The investment appeal of Al Merkadh is based on practical factors affecting rental demand: proximity to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, international schools within Sobha Hartland attracting tenant families, and ready units allowing immediate rental upon transfer of ownership without waiting for construction completion.
When evaluating any unit, distinguish between two types of yield:
Gross yield: Annual rent divided by purchase price.
Net yield: Rent after deducting service charges, maintenance, vacancy periods, and management commission, divided by the total purchase cost including fees.
Example with hypothetical figures: A unit with a total cost of 1,000,000 AED rented for 65,000 AED annually has a gross yield of 6.5%, but deducting 12,000 AED in annual expenses reduces the net yield to about 5.3%. Rent increases upon renewal are subject to the approved Dubai rental index, so base your calculations on current rent, not future expectations.
