USD is the dirham peg (3.6725). INR, GBP and EUR are mid-market rates on the date shown; your bank's rate will differ. Rates as of 22 September 2026. Fees are Sobha's: 4% Dubai Land Department registration, AED 1,110 Oqood and AED 40 knowledge fee, per a Sobha quotation of September 2026. On every plan the first 20% is paid within about three months of booking, in the split Sobha sets for the unit, typically a 2% booking amount then the balance; we confirm the exact split in writing. On 40/60 and 60/40 plans Sobha currently offers a DLD waiver on selected units; the calculator shows the fee in full, so those plans read conservatively.
Sobha has four projects on the 20/80 plan, from a one-bedroom on Sheikh Zayed Road to a beach villa. Tell us what the home is for and what you want to put in, and we say which one we would put you in, and what the first three months cost in pounds.
In Dubai you pay the Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4% once. There is no annual property tax, no capital gains tax and no tax on rental income in the UAE. As a UK resident you still declare foreign rental income and gains to HMRC. We say so on the page because it is true, and because the arithmetic still works for most landlords who have run it.
The plan is quoted in dirhams, pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725, so the only currency movement you carry is sterling against the dollar. We quote GBP on the day of each payment and can introduce a currency broker with forward contracts if you want to fix the rate for the 80%.
UAE banks lend to non-residents on completed property, at a lower loan-to-value than for residents and subject to income checks. That is one route to the 80% at handover. We introduce a mortgage advisor at the start so the route is agreed before you reserve, not discovered in 2029.
Passport, proof of address, and source-of-funds documents for the bank. Sobha issues the sales agreement and the Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department in your name. Everything is sent to you before you sign, and can be signed remotely.
REMAX Hub advises on the property. For the UK tax position we introduce an accountant who deals with overseas property, and we do not give tax advice ourselves. Any rental figure we send is a Dubai Land Department recorded median, never a projection.
One-bedrooms are on offer in every tower, two-bedrooms in all five and three-bedrooms in The Serene and The Tranquil only. Availability moves daily; this table is refreshed every week from Sobha's sheet, and we go through the exact floors, stacks and views on your free video call, with the Dubai Land Department rental comparables for the area.

Residential floors 13 to 82. Sea, marina and Bluewaters views sit in the higher stacks and price accordingly; community and villa-district views are the entry point. Sizes are Sobha's chargeable area.
Sheikh Zayed Road is the spine of the city. Sobha Central sits on it at Jebel Ali, with Jebel Ali Metro Station within walking distance, a dedicated bridge from the highway to the podium, and the southern growth corridor of Palm Jebel Ali, JAFZA and Al Maktoum Airport opening up around it.
Fully fitted kitchens with oven, hob, hood and washer-dryer, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a podium the size of a district park: lap and leisure pools, jogging track, football pitch, outdoor cinema, gym, yoga, sauna, dog park, a mall and a business centre an elevator ride away.

Sobha Realty reported AED 3.5 billion and more than 1,500 units sold by November 2025, per Sobha Realty. Its buyers at Sobha Central, by nationality:
Source: Sobha Realty press release, November 2025. European buyers are the second-largest group at Sobha Central, and Britons rank second among all overseas buyers in Dubai in 2026. You will not be the first landlord from the UK in this building.
If you are buying from abroad, buy from someone who is here. We walk the Sobha gallery every week. We know which stacks face the road and which face the sea, what the same floor sold for last month, and what the handover paperwork looks like. That is what a Dubai advisor is for.
REMAX Hub, DubaiIt is Sobha Realty's own current payment offer, announced to brokers on 22 September 2026: 20% within the first three months of booking and 80% on completion. Sobha has withdrawn and reinstated this plan before, so it is an offer, not a permanent term.
On the lowest-priced Sobha Central one-bedroom on Sobha's 22 September 2026 sheet (AED 1,653,563): AED 330,713 as the 20%, AED 66,143 as the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee (there is no fee waiver on the 20/80 plan), and AED 1,150 in Oqood and knowledge fees. About AED 398,005 all in, in Sobha's booking split, then nothing until completion.
UAE banks lend to non-residents on completed property, typically at a lower loan-to-value than for residents and subject to income checks. That is one route to the 80% at handover. We introduce a mortgage advisor early so the route is agreed before you reserve, and the plan is quoted in dirhams, which are pegged to the US dollar.
We do not give tax advice, and your position depends on your circumstances. What is factual: the Dubai Land Department charges its 4% registration fee once, and the UAE charges no annual property tax, no capital gains tax and no tax on rent; UK residents declare foreign rental income and gains to HMRC. Rental figures we send are Dubai Land Department recorded medians, not projections.
The property route needs a Dubai Land Department certified value of AED 2 million, and since 2026 off-plan purchases from approved developers qualify on registration. A Sobha Central two-bedroom from AED 2.49M clears it on its own; two one-bedrooms can be combined; every Sanctuary villa and townhouse clears it. We walk you through the application after registration.
Sobha issues a no-objection certificate for resale once 20% is paid, per its 20/80 terms. Resale is subject to Sobha's process and DLD fees at the time.
We show you the Dubai Land Department 12-month rental medians for comparable homes in the area on your video call, so the yield you work from is recorded rent, not a brochure figure. We do not publish price forecasts. On the call we can show the recorded resale history of Sobha's completed towers, which is fact, and leave the forecasting to you.
