Buying Guide
Buy-to-let
A popular earner
As stated, rental returns in Dubai have become very substantial even considering the rapid increase in property values.
Buy-to-let owners do not pay tax on rental returns and it is one of the most popular ways of making a living in the emirate for those who can afford to enter the market.
Rates for a room in a shared apartment go from around 400 GBP a month to well over 1000 GBP depending on size, standard and location, and pretty much all of that goes straight back into the pocket of the landlord.
Most rents at the moment are medium- or long-term, although more and more short-term rents are expected in sought-after areas as the tourist industry continues to flourish.
Guaranteed options
There are also a growing number of guaranteed rental return schemes, condo-hotel projects, serviced apartments and the like.
While these tend to offer solid, hassle-free returns it must be noted that management companies in Dubai are becoming increasingly expensive and it's advisable, if considering this kind of purchase, to select a management firm - or hotel company - of international renown and marketing reach, as marketing spend will be proportionally smaller, thus leaving more room for profit.
Search for units offering at least 4% per annum gross, with index-linked growth.
