Buying Property in Ras Al Khaimah

Where foreign buyers can own

Foreigners may own property in Ras Al Khaimah only in areas the Ruler has designated for foreign ownership. So before you fall for a penthouse or a garden villa, the first question is whether its address falls within one of those areas. We check this at the start, so you never spend time on a home you cannot buy.

What you can view with us

Bigbirdluxe Residences focuses on luxury homes: sky penthouses, garden villas, sea-view apartments and city apartments. Our selection currently includes 74 projects, with prices starting from AED 550,000. We look at what matters to you in a home: natural light, the flow of the layout, the setting and the quality of the finish. Viewings are private and one to one, and if you are abroad we can walk you through the options before you travel.

Currency and costs

Prices and official fees are quoted in UAE dirhams, the national currency, which is pegged to the US dollar. Buyers also pay a registration fee to Ras Al Khaimah Municipality when a sale is registered. We set out every cost for you before you commit to a reservation.

How ownership is registered

A sale transfers ownership only when it is registered with the Lands and Properties Sector of Ras Al Khaimah Municipality. That office issues the title deed, which is the document that proves you own the home.

Safeguards when buying off-plan

A developer must be registered with the municipality's Real Estate Regulatory Administration and hold an off-plan sale permit before selling units. The developer must also open a project escrow account with a trustee registered with that administration, and buyers pay into this account. Every off-plan sale must be recorded in the municipality's initial land register, and an unrecorded sale is void. We confirm these points on any off-plan home you are considering, so you can buy with confidence from a distance.
