Buying your first home in Dubai just got a whole lot easier.

Dubai has always been a city of ambition - attracting those looking to build a better future. And now, for the first time, it’s making it easier for residents to turn that ambition into ownership and call Dubai home for good.

Launched in July 2025, the First-Time Home Buyer Program is a landmark initiative by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Department of Economy & Tourism. Its goal? To make buying your first home in Dubai more accessible, more transparent, and more rewarding.

We see this as more than a policy shift - it’s a mindset change. It aligns with everything Neuk is building: a home-buying experience that’s transparent, empowering, and easy to navigate.

So, What Is the Program All About?

It’s a government-backed initiative aimed at helping everyday residents, not just investors, step into long-term homeownership. Here’s what it promises:

  • Easier access to buying your first home
  • Support from a full ecosystem of banks, developers, and platforms
  • Financial perks to reduce upfront costs
  • Alignment with Dubai’s long-term goals under the D33 economic agenda

In short: more support, less stress.

Are You Eligible?

You can apply if you:

  • Are a UAE resident, aged 18+
  • Have never owned property in Dubai
  • Are buying a property worth AED 5 million or less
How to Apply
  1. Register via the Dubai REST app or DLD website
  2. Verify your identity with Emirates ID and UAE Pass
  3. Receive your eligibility QR code

This program gives first-time buyers the confidence, tools, and support they need to step into ownership without being overwhelmed by process or cost.

How Neuk Makes It Even Better

Owning a home in Dubai can feel like a big step — and now, it’s more possible than ever. We see this program as an opportunity to reimagine what the journey to ownership can look like: clear, supportive, and genuinely helpful.

We built Neuk to simplify the buying process from start to finish. No jargon. No guesswork. No chasing agents. Just clear tools, smart filters, and real support to help you move forward, confidently. Because buying your first home should feel exciting—not exhausting.
