Experts say that while buying a home in the UAE is a major milestone, many first-time buyers fall into common traps that can cost them dearly. Muhammad Ali Khan warns that viewing properties before clarifying one’s finances often leads to heartbreak when bank loans fall short. Hidden costs—such as Dubai Land Department transfer fees, agency commissions, and NOC charges—can add up to 7–8% of the property value, says Elie Naaman. Buyers also overlook ongoing expenses like service charges and maintenance, cautions Svetlana Vasilieva. The key, experts advise, is to secure mortgage pre-approval, budget for all additional fees, and review a property’s service charge history before signing any deal—ensuring a smoother and more financially secure purchase experience.
