Can Foreigners Legally Own Property in Dubai? Here’s What You Must Know.
Foreign investors are fully protected in Dubai, but only if you understand the laws. In this must-listen episode of The Dubai Connect™ Podcast, a top-ranked Dubai Real Estate Podcast, I sit down with Michael Kortbawi, Legal Partner at BSA Ahmad Bin Hezeem & Associates LLP, to demystify the legal side of buying property in Dubai.
Whether you’re a U.S., Canadian, or international investor, this conversation will give you the legal confidence to invest.
🎯 We cover:
✅ Freehold vs Non-Freehold Zones — What foreigners can legally own
✅ Escrow law, title deeds, and off-plan flipping regulations
✅ What happens if a developer fails — and your legal protections
✅ Rental disputes, Power of Attorney, and buying remotely
✅ No property or capital gains tax — plus full repatriation of funds
✅ Golden Visa strategies and business ownership tips
✅ Corporate structures and UAE’s new tax laws
