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.
