You can either buy a primary property directly from the developer&rsquo;s sales team or through a broker.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Buying a primary property means that it had no previous owners, and you will be the first to purchase it from the developer. Primary properties can either be &lsquo;Off-plan&rsquo; or &lsquo;Ready&rsquo;. <\/p><p>However, you should note that not all off-plan properties are &ldquo;Primary&rdquo;. That is because some people buy off-plan properties from developers, and resell the unit before completion. Meaning, that the property is &ldquo;Secondary&rdquo;, since you&rsquo;re not buying from the developer, yet still off-plan. &nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\">What is an Off-plan Property?<\/h2><p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/en\/new-projects\/lp\/dubai\" target=\"_blank\">&lsquo;Off-plan&rsquo; property in Dubai<\/a> is a property that is still under construction. This term includes properties that are in the early planning or construction phases. Off-plan real estate can be a great investment option as it offers many benefits, including attractive prices and the opportunity to secure property in prime locations before they are fully developed.<\/p><p>Typically, buyers who invest in off-plan can expect significant value appreciation once the property is completed, making it a popular choice in Dubai&rsquo;s dynamic real estate market. Meanwhile, a &lsquo;Ready&rsquo; property, is one that is fully constructed. <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p><p>To summarise, here is the meaning of <meta charset=\"utf-8\">&lsquo;Ready&rsquo; and <meta charset=\"utf-8\">&lsquo;Off-plan&rsquo; properties in the Dubai real estate market:&nbsp;<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Off-plan Property: <\/strong>The property is still under construction, and the developer commits to deliver it by a set date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ready Property: <\/strong>Construction for the property is complete, and it is ready to be moved in immediately.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discover-off-plan-properties-for-sale-in-dubai\">Discover off-plan properties for sale in Dubai<\/h3><div

Property?<\/h2><p>In contrast, a secondary property is one that is previously owned, and the owner (not the developer) is looking to sell it for profit.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In short, secondary properties are those that are presently rented out or occupied by the owner and are already on the market for rental or sub-sale purposes.<\/p><p>Moreover, these kinds of homes are typically located in established neighbourhoods. However, occasionally an owner of an off-plan property may choose to sell it; hence some secondary properties can be off-plan in communities that have yet to mature.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_733921549-1-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"secondary property in dubai meaning\" class=\"wp-image-52779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_733921549-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_733921549-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_733921549-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Which Is Better: Off-plan Vs Secondary Properties?<\/strong><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-primary-properties\">Primary Properties:<\/h3><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros\">Pros:<\/h4><p><strong>&#10003; Latest Designs<\/strong><\/p><p>Buying a new primary property means you&rsquo;ll be getting the most cutting-edge designs and amenities. However, beyond the aesthetics, there are many financial advantages to looking into the primary market.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10003; Lower Market Price<\/strong><\/p><p>One of the main benefits of buying primary off-plan properties is that their price can be significantly lower than the market price. That is because developers often offer discounts and deals that allow you to get much more value for the money.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10003; Developer Promotions &amp; Flexible Payment Plans<\/strong><\/p><p>Some developers offer to cover some legal costs, such as the <strong>4%<\/strong> <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Dubai Land\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/en\/area-insights\/dubai\/dubai-land\" target=\"_blank\">Dubai Land<\/a> Department fee, making it even more fiscally attractive. Moreover, many developers offer flexible payment plans.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10003; Higher Return on Investment<\/strong><\/p><p>The above factors lead primary off-plan properties to have a healthy <em>capital appreciation<\/em> (a rise in the unit&rsquo;s market value) even before construction is complete.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Essentially, taking advantage of these financial incentives means you can purchase a primary property at a lower price and sell at a much higher price for a significant profit. Hence, primary and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/en\/new-projects\/lp\/dubai\" target=\"_blank\">off-plan properties in Dubai<\/a> are attractive investments.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10003; Low or No Refurbishment Cost<\/strong><\/p><p>Another obvious advantage of primary properties is that because the units are brand new, you will likely spend very little money on refurbishments.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_292906838-1-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"dubai off plan property investment\t\" class=\"wp-image-52780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_292906838-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_292906838-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_292906838-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons\">Cons:<\/h4><p><strong>&#10007; Limited Supply<\/strong><\/p><p>Currently, the demand for primary properties outstrips the supply. Accordingly, primary units sell out within a matter of days after developers put them on the market. That is why one of the challenges when trying to find primary units is acting fast enough.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10007; Possibility of Project Abandonment<\/strong><\/p><p>There is a slight risk if you buy an off-plan property, as developers may abandon the project in case they run into financial difficulties. However, the authorities set strict regulations to protect anyone who buys off-plan properties in Dubai.&nbsp;<\/p><p>For example, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) demand developers deposit <strong>20%<\/strong> of the project&rsquo;s cost into an escrow account. This is just one of the safeguards in place to ensure developers have enough funds to complete the development.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10007; Delivery Might Not Meet Expectations<\/strong><\/p><p>Particularly with off-plan primary units, you won&rsquo;t know exactly what it will look like until construction is complete. Hence, you run the risk of reality falling short of the 3D models shown by the developer.&nbsp;<\/p><p>That is why it is critical to only purchase from well-established developers that have an excellent track record of delivering high-quality projects on time.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1685296984-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"cons of off plan in dubai\" class=\"wp-image-52803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1685296984-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1685296984-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1685296984-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-secondary-properties\">Secondary Properties:<\/h3><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-0\">Pros:<\/h4><p><strong>&#10003; Established Unit and Location<\/strong><\/p><p>Secondary properties are often &lsquo;Ready&rsquo; properties and are located in established neighbourhoods.

This means that primary properties sell out very quickly; accordingly, they are much harder to come by compared to secondary properties.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>Therefore the benefit of looking into the secondary market is that you may have a wider choice of options, and you&rsquo;ll have a bit more time to make your decision.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>&#10003; Negotiable &amp; Lower Price&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><p>Lastly, despite not having access to developer promos, secondary properties can occasionally be more affordable than brand-new units.
