What percentage of your property budget did you actually need in cash before getting the keys?
For people who have bought property in Dubai recently, I'm curious about the gap between the amount you initially expected to pay upfront and the amount you actually needed before completing the purchase.
Beyond the down payment, there can be other costs involved in the buying process, and I think first-time buyers sometimes focus mainly on the property price and monthly mortgage payment.
Without sharing anything you're uncomfortable disclosing:
Roughly what percentage of your total property budget did you need as available cash before completion, including the down payment and other buying-related costs?
It would be interesting to hear real experiences from recent buyers, especially because the numbers can vary depending on the property and individual circumstances.
