Market Performance
Dubai’s brand, and its property market, continues to grow exponentially meaning capital growth and rental yields are strong.

In particular, a short term letting model can achieve a higher than average ROI.
01. Can non-residents buy property in Dubai?
In 2002, the UAE passed the Freehold Law, which allows foreigners to freely buy, sell, let, and rent property across the country. As a result, property investment in Dubai from individuals and companies in the UK (and elsewhere) has grown significantly over the past 20 years.

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is not applicable in Dubai, regardless of whether you’re based in the UK or not. Instead, a one-off payment of 4% of the property’s value must be made to the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

Yes, we assist real estate investors all across the world – whether they’re based in the UK, the UAE, or elsewhere. We have a truly global client base of investors from almost every continent, and our team can speak several languages. We can also assist with mortgages. Get in touch to learn more.

Like any property investment, a successful buy-to-let in Dubai should deliver a predictable and profitable return over time through a balance of attractive rental yields and capital appreciation. To achieve this, there are a few things to consider when looking at a property:

  • Location: Picking the right location is probably the primary factor in determining ROI, after all, you should buy somewhere people want to live. Dubai is famous for its different neighbourhoods, each with a unique character and way of life. A few popular examples include Dubai Marina, known for its nightlife, and Jumeirah, known for its beaches.
  • Features: Is it a corner apartment, is it well furnished, is there an ensuite bathroom, does it come with a parking space or balcony? Better or unique features will attract more tenants and boost your rental price.
  • Amenities: What’s in the local area that will make people want to move here? Is this prime real estate? Consider the selection of local cafes, restaurants, schools, shops, supermarkets, transport options, and more.

To get started, we’ll organise a call with you to learn more about your budget, goals, and criteria.

Then, we’ll review Dubai’s real estate market and suggest several suitable developments and residential properties. We can answer any questions you have about the developments, and we’ll make sure you fully understand everything about what happens next.

If you choose to move ahead, we’ll support you through the purchase process, from the reservation fee to the down payment to the exchange of contracts (we can introduce you to mortgage brokers, if required). If you’ve opted for an off-plan property, we’ll provide regular construction updates as the project progresses.

And then, once the property is nearly ready to let, we’ll ensure you have a suitable lettings and management company in place, meaning you can be a hands-off investor.
