Can two people buy a property together in Dubai? Yes. The Dubai Land Department records more than one owner on a title deed and shows the shares on it. The real question is usually this: what happens to residency in a joint purchase?<\/p>\n

How do the residency thresholds work in joint ownership?<\/h2>\n

Here the difference between sole and joint ownership is concrete.<\/p>\n

On the two-year investor visa<\/strong> no minimum property value is required for a sole owner; the condition is that the property is completed and habitable. In joint ownership, however, the share falling to each person must be at least AED 400,000<\/strong>. So where two people buy together, each share has to exceed that figure.<\/p>\n

For the ten-year Golden Visa<\/strong> the threshold is AED 2,000,000<\/strong>. That figure can be met with a single property or with several properties combined.<\/p>\n

The thresholds and a comparison of the two routes are set out as a table on our page on residency through property in Dubai<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Does a joint purchase change the costs?<\/h2>\n

No, the items stay the same: the DLD transfer fee is 4 per cent of the price, with title registration and escrow items on top. These are calculated on the property and are not affected by the number of owners. How they are divided between the shares is a matter between you. For your own scenario you can use our Dubai purchase cost calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dubai has no annual property tax, no tax on rental income and no capital gains tax. That makes the tax planning side of a joint purchase markedly simpler than in the UK.<\/p>\n
