Buying Your First Home in Dubai? FTHB Scheme Just Got You Closer
As a soon-to-be homeowner in the UAE, you’ve probably got one hand on Property Finder, the other holding a calculator, and no fewer than 37 tabs open comparing financing options. We get it — it’s a lot to manage.
But the truth is, buying your first home doesn’t need to be a confusing mix of forwarded WhatsApp messages and third-hand advice.
That’s exactly why the first time home buyers program Dubai was created. And at LYM Real Estate, we’re proud to be one of the first few real estate brokers in Dubai to request full integration into the system — helping buyers move from “curious” to “qualified” to “keys in hand” with confidence.
1. The First TIme Home Buyers program has been announced by the Government of Dubai, jointly led by Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).
2. This initiative is designed to enable more residents to become homeowners—an important step in improving quality of life and supporting Dubai’s real estate sector.
3. Through the program, verified buyers will have priority access to 13 top developers, potential special discounts from developers, interest free installments on DLD fees, reduced mortgage and processing fees.
4. Buyers will have to register through licensed, registered brokerages.
The first time home buyers program is a government-supported digital platform made for first time home buyer Dubai clients. It’s organized, fully online, and crystal clear — no messy paperwork, no ambiguous processes.
