Freehold Property Effective 2002, the Dubai government permitted the ownership of freehold property to expatriates, which has changed the real estate industry in the region. Tax-free A tax-free regime has aided Dubai s rise to prominence as a financial centre of excellence. With no capital gains, inheritance or income tax and fantastic employment prospects, Dubai attracts international high earners and investors. Population Growth Emergence of Dubai as the regional centre of commercial activity is one of the key drivers behind population growth. Employee growth has more than doubled over the last ten years and today the figure stands at over 1 million employees. Tourism The tourism industry is one of the primary sources of future growth with approx. 6 million tourists visiting Dubai in 2006 and a projected 15 million tourists by 2010.

Why Dubai? Attracting national and international property investors 6,000,000,000 4,000,000,000 2,000,000,000 Value (AED) 0 Saudi Arabia India United Kingdom Kuwait Pakistan Oman Iran Bahrain Qatar Russian Federation Figure 1.1 On the back of a booming economy and a favourable tax regime, there has been a massive influx of both foreign and local property investors: Mortgage Finance Number of banks willing to lend finance on the purchase of foreign ownership properties has increased as banks adopt less conservative lending practices with mortgages now being offered on up to 96% of a property s market value. Freehold & Free zone Investments Changes made to property law in 2002 enable foreign investors to buy freehold property in Dubai, entitling them to a residence visa. The combination of a relatively red-tape free buying process, no legal fees, reasonable transfer fees and only 1.5% land registration tax payable to the Government on completion. Q1 2008 figures indicate that International investors from Saudi Arabia, India and the United Kingdom head the list of a diversified investment demographic that pumped an estimated AED13Billion into the Dubai realty market. Security Escrow Account Owing to a substantial portion of investment being made in off-plan projects, in July 2007 Dubai authorities introduced the Escrow or Trust Account which safeguards the interests of freehold property buyers. An escrow is the deposit of funds with a neutral third party (The Escrow Agent) until such time as either a certificate is issued that the building is completed; or the property is registered in the name of the purchaser; or the transaction is cancelled and the purchase price has been dealt with accordingly.
Why Residential Property? A rising market attracting global attention Sound Investments Rising property prices in Dubai continue to maximize capital investment in real estate; indeed some construction projects have appreciated by more than 300% in less than two years. The price of properties on the resale market can achieve up to an average of 70% more than their original purchase price, depending on their popularity. High Rental Yields Global Property Guide lists an apartment of 120 square metres in Dubai, priced at around US$140,000 generating a typical rental yield of 12.8%. Apartments of approximately 50 square metres are listed at around US 50,000 generating a rental yield of 8.4%. The United Kingdom, Ireland and many of the European capital cities are witnessing rental yields falling to below 3%. In Dubai, rental yields are currently holding firm at 6-7% per annum. Another added benefit is that rents in Dubai are paid in advance, sometimes up to 12 months in advance which is an advantage for investors considering purchasing residential property in the region Supply & Demand Curve The demand for residential property continues to rise owing to strong population growth and strong wages underpinned by very buoyant economic conditions.
