Costs can include trustee, brokerage, valuation and DIFC fees, property insurance, and the DLD transfer and registration fees, among others.

Each investor’s ownership is legally registered as shares in a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) set up in the DIFC.

You can transfer deposits straight from your bank account into your PRYPCO wallet.

You can own no more than 31% of the blocks in a single property at any one time.

Expect an annual ROI of up to 12% across the investment term.

If so, the investment period can be lengthened, or investors get their money back.

If you sell your fractional share, a withdrawal fee applies, charged by PRYPCO to cover the transfer and the upkeep of the asset.

Investors get to vote on selling the property or holding it for six more months, and the property is sold at its market value at that time.
