Introduction
Dubai’s off-plan property market is booming, yet many investors hesitate due to misinformation and outdated myths. At Eplog Offplan, we believe in transparency and data-driven decisions, so we’re debunking the top 7 myths about off-plan investments in the UAE.
Here’s the truth—backed by facts, not fear.
Myth #1: “Off-Plan Properties Are Risky”
❌ Myth: Buying off-plan is a gamble—projects get delayed or canceled.
✅ Fact: 92% of RERA-approved projects are completed on time (DLD 2024 report).
How Eplog Offplan Minimizes Risk:
✔ Only recommends developers with 90%+ on-time delivery records
✔ Escrow account protection – Your payments are secure
✔ Satellite construction monitoring – Track progress in real-time
Example: Eplog clients have zero project cancellations in 8+ years.
Myth #2: “You Pay More for Off-Plan”
❌ Myth: Ready properties are cheaper than off-plan.
✅ Fact: Off-plan buyers save 15-30% compared to post-completion prices.
Why?
- Early-bird discounts (5-15% off)
- Payment plans (spread costs over years)
- Capital appreciation (units gain value before handover)
Case Study:
- Buy Off-Plan (2023): AED 1.2M
- Market Value at Handover (2025): AED 1.6M (+33%)
Myth #3: “You Can’t Customize Off-Plan Units”
❌ Myth: You’re stuck with the developer’s default design.
✅ Fact: Many projects allow customization (finishes, layouts, smart tech).
Eplog Offplan’s Customization Tips:
🔹 Early buyers get more flexibility
🔹 Premium developers (Emaar, Sobha) offer upgrade packages
🔹 Pre-construction phase is the best time to request changes
Myth #4: “Off-Plan Properties Have Low Rental Yields”
❌ Myth: Only ready properties generate good rental income.
✅ Fact: Off-plan properties in prime areas yield 7-9% (vs. 5-6% for ready homes).
Why?
- Newer buildings attract higher-paying tenants
- Modern amenities (smart homes, gyms, pools)
- Lower maintenance costs (everything is brand new)
Example:
📍 Downtown Dubai off-plan: 8.5% rental yield
📍 Palm Jumeirah off-plan: 9%+ for waterfront units
Myth #5: “Financing Off-Plan is Difficult”
❌ Myth: Banks don’t give mortgages for off-plan.
✅ Fact: Most UAE banks offer off-plan financing (up to 50-75% LTV).
Eplog Offplan’s Financing Support:
✔ Preferred bank partnerships (lower interest rates)
✔ Payment plan restructuring (align with construction milestones)
✔ Golden Visa financing options
Myth #6: “Off-Plan is Only for Flippers, Not Long-Term Investors”
❌ Myth: Off-plan is just for quick resale profits.
✅ Fact: Smart investors hold for long-term wealth.
Why Hold Off-Plan Properties?
💰 Rental income growth (new buildings appreciate faster)
📈 Tax-free capital gains (UAE has no property tax)
🌍 Golden Visa eligibility (AED 2M+ investments)
Eplog Strategy:
- Buy early (low entry price)
- Rent out (high yields)
- Sell later (peak market cycles)
Myth #7: “You Don’t Get Legal Protection”
❌ Myth: Off-plan buyers have no rights if things go wrong.
✅ Fact: RERA’s strict laws protect buyers (escrow accounts, contract safeguards).
How Eplog Offplan Ensures Security:
✔ All contracts reviewed by DIFC lawyers
✔ Only RERA-registered projects
✔ 24/7 transaction tracking
