Good question, and it depends on your situation. If you’re planning to stay in Dubai for three to five years or longer, buying can make more sense financially.

How much are the total buying costs?
Besides the price of the home, you’ll need to budget for around 7 to 8 percent extra to cover government fees, agency commission, and some admin charges. Dubai Land Department charges 4 percent as a transfer fee, and agency commission is typically 2 percent of the sale price. It’s worth having this all clear from the start.
