Moving is not easy. Whether you are moving to a house rent in Dubai or a property you just bought, you know the stress and inconvenience that might go with it. Aside from these worries, you also have to think about the cost.
If you are not careful, moving from one place to another can easily become expensive. The last thing you want to happen is to pay more than what you should when in reality you can save.
On average, moving companies would charge you around 1,500-3,000 AED for a two-bedroom apartment or flat for rent in Dubai. There are a few things that could affect the price you have to pay. These include:
If you are going to apply for a new account with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA), you may need to pay a security deposit fee of 4,000 AED for villas and 2,000 AED for flats. However, if you already have a DEWA account, you can simply move your account to your new address without paying the security deposit.
You need to review your current contract before leaving the property. In most cases, you don’t need to pay anything to secure a moving permit if you are moving in. However, there could be costs when you move out of a rented property. For example, you might need to pay outstanding community payments and fees.
In Dubai, you would need an Ejari permit if you are going to rent a property. To get your permit, you need to get in touch with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). At the time of this writing, the Ejari permit and certificate cost about 585 AED. That includes licence and registration fees and VAT.
Another thing you need to remember is the rental fee. In most cases, you would also need to pay a security deposit for the rent. This can easily increase your upfront cost when moving.
