11Prop FAQ: Off-Plan Property in Dubai
What is off-plan property?
Off-plan property is a home you buy before it's built or while it's still under construction. You buy directly from the developer based on floor plans, brochures, and a show unit, not a finished property. Browse our current off-plan properties for sale to see live examples.
Why should I buy off-plan instead of a ready property?
Off-plan homes usually cost less than ready homes in the same area. You also get flexible payment plans, the chance to choose your unit early, and strong potential for price growth by the time the project is handed over. Read more on Dubai's real estate market to see why off-plan investment makes sense right now.
Is off-plan property safe to buy in Dubai?
Yes. Dubai's off-plan market is regulated by RERA and the Dubai Land Department. Developers must register projects and hold buyer payments in an escrow account, which protects your money during construction. Our Who We Are page explains how we vet every listed project.
How do payment plans work?
Most developers ask for a down payment, usually 10 to 20 percent, followed by installments during construction. The remaining balance is often due on handover. Payment plans vary by project and developer. See our step-by-step guide on how to buy off-plan property in Dubai for the full process.

Which developers does 11Prop work with?
Can foreigners buy off-plan property in Dubai?
Yes. Dubai allows full foreign ownership in designated freehold areas. Most off-plan projects are open to international buyers, including those in communities like Dubai Hills Estate and Business Bay.
What happens if the project is delayed?
Delays can happen in construction. Reputable developers communicate updated timelines, and your contract sets out your rights if a serious delay occurs. We help you understand these terms before you buy. Our Journals section covers what to check before signing.
