Question 1

What is the average RERA Mollak service fee in Dubai Marina?

Accepted Answer

Service charges in Dubai Marina range between 15 and 26 AED/sqft annually, averaging approximately 19.50 AED/sqft. Premium beachfront towers with private facilities reach 24 to 28 AED/sqft.

Question 2

Does a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina qualify for the 10-Year Golden Visa?

Accepted Answer

A standard 1-bed at 1.45M AED sits below the 2,000,000 AED threshold. However, investors can qualify by acquiring a two-bedroom unit or bundling two apartments together under a single title application.

Question 3

How does Empower district cooling affect rental yields in Dubai Marina?

Accepted Answer

Empower charges a fixed capacity charge (~750 AED/TR/year) plus consumption. In non-chiller-free buildings, landlords must cover these charges during tenant vacancy or holiday home low seasons, reducing net returns.
