Your First Off-Plan Property In Dubai? 7 Questions You Need to Ask the Developer

Buying your first off-plan property in Dubai? Don’t just rely on brochures and payment plans. This blog outlines 7 smart, must-ask questions to help you spot red flags, avoid delays, and make sure your investment is secure — with no nasty surprises later.
Buying your first off-plan property in Dubai is exciting. There’s the glossy brochures, the show units that smell like fresh coffee and wood polish, the dream of a brand-new home — or a high-return investment.
But here’s the thing: off-plan isn’t the same as ready property. You’re committing to something that’s still under construction (or maybe hasn’t even broken ground yet). And that means you’re putting a lot of trust in the developer.
So before you sign anything — or pay that booking amount — ask these 7 questions. Out loud. To the developer. In person, on email, on WhatsApp… whatever works. Just don’t skip them.
