The numbers, before the pitch
If you are buying to let or to hold, here is what the UAE actually offers — and the arithmetic nobody puts in a brochure.
Why the money keeps coming
None of this is a secret; it is just rarely laid out plainly. Here is what actually makes the UAE work as a place to own property.
Zero property tax
No annual property tax and no personal income tax on rent. Purchase fees still apply, and we list every one.
Rental demand that holds
Demand differs from building to building. Ask us for the net yield on a specific one — gross figures flatter.
Infrastructure ahead of the curve
Metro lines, motorways, schools and hospitals arrive before the population that needs them.
Safe, and it shows
Families move here for the safety as much as for the sunshine.
Residence through property
Investment above the published threshold carries long-term residence for you and your family.
A market that repriced upward
Prices move with supply and demand, community by community. We show you recorded transactions, not a headline.
Gross is not net
Any agent can quote a gross yield: annual rent over purchase price. It ignores the service charge, the agency fee, the DEWA connection, the void weeks between tenants and the annual maintenance. Ask us for the net on any building and we will send the full working — including the buildings where the answer is disappointing.
We do not publish blanket yield figures. They vary by building, floor and unit, and a headline number that is not yours is worth nothing.
