Buying a Property in Dubai
Buying a property in Dubai is fast-moving and exciting, from luxury apartments in Downtown to villas in Palm Jumeirah and investment units across the Marina and Business Bay. But once your price is agreed in AED, you still need to move a large sum overseas safely, on time, and at a competitive rate.
Lucid specialises in high-value foreign exchange for Dubai property purchases, helping you secure strong rates, avoid hidden bank fees, and deliver funds seamlessly to your developer, seller, or conveyancer.

Dubai’s property market moves fast. Here’s how Lucid has helped buyers stay ahead of the curve — saving money, reducing stress, and completing without delays.
Lucid handled all transfers for our Dubai Marina apartment purchase. The service was professional, transparent, and the rate beat every bank we compared. Funds reached the developer on time, every time.
We bought a villa in Arabian Ranches and had multiple instalments to manage. Lucid gave us a clear plan and locked in the rate ahead of a market move — saving us a significant amount.
Our investment unit in Business Bay required fast payments during reservation and transfer. Lucid kept the entire process seamless and stress-free. Highly recommended.
Dubai developers can be strict with deadlines, and Lucid ensured every payment arrived early. Excellent communication and excellent rates.
Relocating to Dubai meant moving several large sums. Lucid structured the FX plan so we avoided unpredictable rate changes and saved thousands.
