http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/ Real estate articles regarding property and investment in United Arab Emirates. en-GB http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/commercial-property-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/commercial-property-in-dubai.asp <p>Most of the focus of the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/investment/">real estate boom</a> has been in high-end <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">luxurious residential properties</a> but experts these days point to investment in commercial property in Dubai as the smarter option.  Real estate web portal GoWealthy estimates that <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">commercial property in Dubai</a> could swell by up to 60% this year. Meanwhile the UAE Daily Emirates Business 24/7 reported on Mar 31st that there could be as much as a 325% shortfall in availability of commercial <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property in Dubai</a> in 2008.</p> <p>Whilst commercial property in Dubai enjoys little of the glamour of the more high profile residential properties, these numbers clearly speak for themselves.  The media hype surrounding some of the more high profile developments has contributed to investors neglecting to keep up with the demand for commercial property in Dubai. Further increasingly companies from around the world are looking to headquarter, or at least have an office, in this relatively, stable tax haven.</p> <p>Commercial property developments in Dubai also cater to the countless workers from poorer countries that flock to Dubai in search of work.  These far outnumber the expatriate managers from richer countries who eschew commercial property in Dubai in favour of the many upscale residences available.</p> <p>An investor looking at <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/city-centre-investment.asp">commercial property</a> in Dubai should be careful to ensure that the properties can be owned by foreigners as not all commercial property in Dubai can be purchased by non-citizens.  Even in this investor friendly country, as with any real estate purchase overseas, anyone looking to invest into commercial property in Dubai should consult with professionals before putting their money down.</p> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:19:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/buy-property-in-abu-dhabi.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/buy-property-in-abu-dhabi.asp <p>The UAE has 9% of the world’s natural gas reserves and Abu Dhabi has the lion’s share of this. 2006 saw sweeping legislative reforms aimed encouraging more private sector investment, particularly in tourism and <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">real estate</a>. A host of new laws were introduced to allow more people to <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/">buy property in Abu Dhabi</a>. Moreover, large residential and industrial complexes were commissioned utilising state of the art technology that brings on stream, a range of properties to buy in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/">Abu Dhabi</a>.</p> <p>Experts recommend buying property in places like Abu Dhabi, as well as other middle-eastern countries, because of the economic boom brought about by rising oil prices. Pragmatic economic planning by the government has further encouraged investors to buy property in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Like Dubai, Abu Dhabi is focusing on broad-based development of private sector enterprise, independent of oil. Almost 80% of its population are expatriates who often buy property in Abu Dhabi as an investment. New laws expand ownership rights of foreigners but there are some conditions that apply to foreigners who want to buy <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/">property in Abu Dhabi</a>.</p> <p>Prices of property bought in Abu Dhabi are relatively cheap in respect to <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">Dubai</a>, yet real estate in the Emirate is just as dynamic. A high rate of occupancy encourages investors to buy property in Abu Dhabi. Moreover yields for property bought in Abu Dhabi are quite favourable. Spiralling demand and rents together with increasing tourist inflows are also encouraging investors to buy property in Abu Dhabi now. The government has also invested substantially in attractions targeted at the high-end leisure tourist, and investors are looking to buy property in Abu Dhabi now to reap the benefits of an anticipated leap in tourist arrivals.</p> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:26:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/properties-in-abu-dhabi.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/properties-in-abu-dhabi.asp <p>The organizers of the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/articles/emerging-markets-offset-tourism-slowdown_1760.html">Abu Dhabi Real Estate</a> and Investments Show reported over $400 m in combined sales of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/property/abu dhabi/apartment-flat-in-al-shams-478636.html">properties in Abu Dhabi</a> during the event. This figure reflects the keen investor interest in properties in Abu Dhabi. In fact some industry players insist that fairly quickly, properties in Abu Dhabi will be on par with those in Dubai.</p> <p>The Emirate has only recently opened its doors to <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/italy/property/news/foreign-investment-supporting-airline-industry_1624.html">foreign investment</a>, and properties in Abu Dhabi are largely sold off-plan. The supply-demand equation is greatly in favour of the seller, which in turn exerts considerable pressure on prices of properties in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, the recent reductions in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/england/property/articles/bank-england-leads-interest-rate-cuts_1687.html">US interest rates</a> have impacted properties in Abu Dhabi sharply. The dirham is pegged to the US dollar. With the dollar rate falling rapidly and continuing Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, cash strapped Emiratis are moving their funds in to properties in Abu Dhabi. HSBC, in a report predicts that prices of properties in Abu Dhabi could jump as much 25% in 2008.</p> <p>Many may brush this current trend as a one off for properties in Abu Dhabi. However the fundamentals for real estate in Abu Dhabi remain strong. It is after all one of the richest cities in the world. The government has also been very pragmatic, focusing on broad-based economic planning aimed at reducing dependence oil and gas related revenues. In its overall plans, the government has identified <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">real estate</a> as one of its key thrust sectors.</p> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:43:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/investing-in-property-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/investing-in-property-in-dubai.asp <h3>Sound Fundamentals for Investing in Property in Dubai</h3> <p>The Dubai Chamber of Commerce stated that the Emirate’s GDP surged to a record Dh198 billion in 2007, and predicted sustained average growth rate of 11 per cent for the next eight years. This economic buoyancy will cushion <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/investment/">investing in property in Dubai</a>. Further assurance for those <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/invest-in-property.asp">investing in property</a> in Dubai is that the main driver of this remarkable growth is the non-oil sector - tourism, trade, infrastructure, knowledge industry, etc. Dubai has become a powerful commercial hub in the region. Investing in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property in Dubai</a> is based on the same international principals as investments in Singapore, New York or London.</p> <h3>Tourism Augments Investing in Property in Dubai</h3> <p>The floating population of businessmen and leisure seekers makes investing in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/investment-strategies.asp">buy-to-let property in Dubai</a> very viable. The hospitality industry is targeting 100,000 rooms for 15 million visitors by the year 2015. The new Dubai airport, which will be the biggest in the world, is being built to service this increased inflow of visitors. Many are investing in property in Dubai to cash in on the expected tourism burst.</p> <h3>Governmental Vision to Investing in Property in Dubai</h3> <p>The government has identified investing in real estate in Dubai as a thrust area. It has been very pragmatic is creating the right conditions for investing in property in Dubai in terms of policy, infrastructure and several incredible developments that challenge the imagination. Moreover, transparency and accountability to those investing in property in Dubai is being emphasized to enhance <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">overseas investments</a>.</p> Mon, 19 May 2008 17:50:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/new-property-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/new-property-in-dubai.asp <p>With the ongoing economic boom in the region, <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/investment/">new property in Dubai</a> is much sought after by overseas investors. British, Indians and Russians and many others are showing keen interest in new property in Dubai. As with all offshore investments, one needs to be well aware of the ground realities before committing to new property in Dubai.</p> <p>In recent years legislation was passed that allowed foreigners freehold status of new <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property in Dubai</a>. However, foreigners cannot acquire freehold ownership on all new properties in Dubai and one should consult with a professional prior to purchase. Moreover, when buying new property in Dubai, advice should be taken on resident visa requirements.</p> <p>Agreements on new property in Dubai often include obligations on the buyer such as insurance and service charges that need to be considered.  Further, in the case of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">new property</a> in Dubai, one should be clear about the responsibility for brokerage fee and any other assignment fee levied by the developer.</p> <p>Expatriates looking for new property in Dubai will be happy to discover the many mortgage options available. However, mortgage agreements differ from those in the West. Stipulations that the bank be the owner of the property until the loan has been repaid may come as a surprise to foreigners wanting to own a new property in Dubai. When <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/investment-mortgages.asp">obtaining a mortgage</a> to <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">finance new property</a> in Dubai, liabilities on defaults also need to be assessed carefully.</p> <p>Transfer of ownership upon the death of the owner, in the case of a foreigner, is of great importance when buying new or secondary property in Dubai. A practical tip for those investing in new property in Dubai is to establish an offshore company as an owning vehicle. Shares can be distributed in accordance with the rules in the place of the deceased shareholder’s domicile or will.</p> <p>Rules and regulations notwithstanding, new property in Dubai continues to excite investors with amazing developments that promise excellent long-term returns.</p> Mon, 19 May 2008 18:12:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/properties-in-dubai-marina.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/properties-in-dubai-marina.asp <p>Properties in Dubai Marina, as in the case of most <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/articles/the-arabian-canal--a-truly-earth-moving-adventure_1446.html">water-front real estate</a> attract a higher rental - averagely Dh126 per square meter for an apartment. <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/investment-strategies.asp">Long-term rentals for properties</a> in Dubai Marina are also attractive because of the lifestyle they afford.</p> <p><a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubai/dubai marina.html">Properties in Dubai Marina</a> are on the largest man-made marina.

More exciting however, are those properties in Dubai Marina that extend out over the water providing an almost 360 degree aquatic experience.</p> <p>Said Zainab Mirza, a British entrepreneur who spoke to <a href="http://search.ft.com/ftArticle?queryText=Dubai+marina&y=0&aje=false&x=0&id=070609000052&ct=0">FT</a> about her experience with properties in Dubai Marina, “They build more spaciously than anything in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/england/property/london/">London</a> and the finish is impeccable. Everything is much more luxurious, with marble floors and top-of-the-range fittings…. The neighbours are really nice. There are a lot of young professionals. The whole Dubai Marina lifestyle is like that, with lots of millionaires or young people on their way to becoming millionaires. There are many other Europeans and a fair amount of young Asians.”</p> <p>Easy access to the heart of Dubai is the other hallmark of properties in Dubai Marina. Situated on interchange 5 on Sheikh Zayed Road, properties in Dubai Marina are in close to Dubai's well-known landmarks like the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/guide/dubai-area-guide.asp">Jebel Ali Free Zone</a>, <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/guide/dubai-area-guide.asp">Dubai Internet City</a>, The American University of Dubai and the Emirates Golf Club.</p> Mon, 19 May 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/property-developmant-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/property-developmant-in-dubai.asp <p>At present it is estimated that 100 billion dollars of property development projects in Dubai are either in construction or on the drawing boards. Amongst the many ambitions property development projects in Dubai, are the soon to be completed Burj Dubai towers.  When completed in September 2009, it will dwarf its closest rival, the Tapei 101 tower, by at least 300 metres.</p> <p>Another extravagant example of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/land-development-consultancy.asp">property development</a> in Dubai is The World. An archipelago of 300 artificial islands in the shape of the world costs approximately $14 billion. Other such colossal property development projects in Dubai include, the Hydropolis, the worlds first underwater hotel, the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubai/dubai marina.html">Dubai Marina</a>, the largest of its kind in the world and the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/articles/the-arabian-canal--a-truly-earth-moving-adventure_1446.html">Dubai Waterfront</a>, not just the largest property development in Dubai but the largest waterfront development project worldwide. Just this one property development in Dubai, larger than Manhattan will be home to 750,000 people. These are only few examples of the mega property developments in Dubai.</p> <p>These incredible <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">Dubai property</a> developments are priced for an exclusive clientele. Office space in the Burj Towers is running at 4000 dollars a square foot and top <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/">residential property</a> at $3,500.  If you are planning to buy an island in the other incredible property development in Dubai – The World, they are reportedly selling for $250 million. But for these <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">property developments in Dubai</a>, which are marvels of modern technology and imagination - there is no shortage of takers.</p> Mon, 19 May 2008 18:48:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/purchasing-property-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/purchasing-property-in-dubai.asp <p>Dubai was the first emirate to allow non-citizens to purchase <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/leaseback-investment-property.asp">freehold property</a>. Since the sector opened up, investors have been streaming in, <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/investment-strategies.asp">purchasing property</a> in multi-million dollar projects in Dubai. Most of these ventures have been resounding successes. One of the reasons is the variety and scope of the projects available when purchasing property in Dubai. From quality apartments for the average resident to ultra-luxurious villas exclusively for the super rich, investors are lured in to purchasing property in Dubai by the uniqueness of the concepts.</p> <p>According to <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssFinancialServicesAndRealEstateNews/idUSL1780000720080417">Reuters</a>, Nakheel, the state-owned property developer posted a five-fold increase in profits in 2007. Nakheel has provided those purchasing property in Dubai with many exceptional developments. For instance The World is a group of man made islands laid out a facsimile of the world map. Each island represents a country and it is rumoured that celebrities like Tommy Lee, Rod Stewart and David Beckham are buying islands (countries) close to their hearts. The Palm Jebel Ali, Burj Dubai Downtown, <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubailand/">Dubailand</a> and a host of other projects provide exotic and interesting new options in purchasing <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property in Dubai</a>.</p> <p>The success of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/property-in-dubai-buyers-guide.asp">purchasing property in Dubai</a> is a result of a fabulous marketing mix: A great product that is wonderfully packaged. This supported by a booming economy has ensured that demand for purchasing property in Dubai has always outstripped supply. Some warn of the bubble bursting but, when purchasing property in Dubai, a growth rate of 7.4% and an ever- increasing flow of expatriates keep it a safe bet.</p> Tue, 20 May 2008 11:41:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/property-to-buy-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/property-to-buy-in-dubai.asp <p>The Emirate’s real estate blitz started in 2002 when <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubai-mortgages.asp">freehold property to buy in Dubai</a> became available to non-citizens.  The same month Nakheel announced that Dubai property could be bought on the man-made island, The Palm Jumeirah. Since then the city’s shoreline and skyline has significantly extended. In Dubai you can <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/">buy property</a> on man-made islands and marinas and some of the world highest skyscrapers.<br />  <br /> A plethora of incredible properties to buy in Dubai, derive from the government’s vision to sustain economic growth beyond the oil boom. To entice investors to buy property in Dubai a fabulous product had to be provided. In each development in Dubai you can buy property that is unique in concept– for example <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubailand/sports city.html">Dubai Sports City</a>, has properties that are part of a sports complex and <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubailand/">Dubailand</a> is centred on an amusement park.</p> <p>The hype that followed these developments brought investors from as far as the US wanting property to buy in Dubai. Of course the plan was to attract people to buy <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property in Dubai</a> and not just to speculate.</p> <p>The attractions to people looking at <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property to buy in Dubai</a> and make a home there are numerous. Factors like great employment prospects, tax incentives and a relatively inexpensive, yet exclusive lifestyle. Lots of recreation options also add to the appeal of property to buy in Dubai. But the bottom line is your ROI and property to Dubai delivers on this score. A Colliers report reveals that some property to buy in Dubai returned 226% between 2003 and 2007. Despite short-term dips experts agree that property to buy in <a href="http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Middle-East/United-Arab-Emirates/Price-History">Dubai is a winning proposition</a>.</p> Wed, 21 May 2008 12:47:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/cheap-property-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/cheap-property-in-dubai.asp <p>Many of the established luxury developments also contain their share of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">cheap Dubai property</a> targeted at the budget investor. Take for example the Dubai Marina, sometimes billed as the largest real estate development on earth. It does have some of the most expensive <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">real estate in Dubai</a>, however it spans a massive 5 million square metres of the coastline and even here, amongst its numerous buildings, there is no shortage of cheap Dubai property.</p> <h3>Developers Shift Focus to Cheap Dubai Property</h3> <p>There is also increasing cognizance being taken by developers of the need for cheap Dubai property with ever escalating <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">real estate</a> prices. One of the key drivers of the real estate boom has been the continuing massive influx of expatriates into the Emirate. By far the largest numbers of foreign workers come not from the west, but from poorer countries such as <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/india/">India</a>, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Their requirement is clearly for cheap <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">Dubai property</a>. Another outcome of the steep increase in prices of luxury units is that people working in Dubai are moving to neighbouring Emirates such as Ajman and Sharjah because of the lack of cheap Dubai property.</p> <p>Real estate developers are responding. Recently <a href="http://www.estatesdubai.com/2008/03/dubai-properties-to-launch-50000-low.html">Dubai Properties</a> announced the construction of 50,000 budget homes to fulfil the burgeoning cheap <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">Dubai property market</a>.</p> <p>International City, a unique multicultural residential project on 800 hectares of property, built by the giant government owned Nakheel, is another development focusing on the cheap Dubai property segment. Rentals on units at International city were recently going for an economical Dh42,000 for a studio and Dh58,000 for a one bedroom making it one of the cheapest Dubai properties going.</p> Wed, 21 May 2008 12:43:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/cheap-properties-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/cheap-properties-in-dubai.asp <p><a href="http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Middle-East/United-Arab-Emirates/Price-History">EFG Hermes</a> indicated at the start of the year that over 64000 residential units would enter the market in 2008. This additional supply may cause properties in Dubai to go cheap. But will this dip be as significant as in the US and UK? Industry experts think not. Historically market trends have always contradicted warning of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">properties in Dubai</a> going cheap. According to the UAE Ministry of Economy <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">Dubai property</a> is the largest non-oil contributor to the economy. With the level of investment in the market the government is keen to ensure that the Dubai property dream is not derailed.</p> <p>Dubai’s rapidly growing expatriate community ensures the health of the property market. Less talked about is the need for cheap properties in Dubai. Semi-skilled workers look for <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">cheap properties in Dubai</a> and it is interesting to note how both ends of the market are catered to. Exclusive developments monopolise all the hype, yet there are vast residential complexes that sell or lease cheap properties in Dubai. A report on UAE property by investment bank Al Mal said the gap between cheap <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">properties in Dubai</a> and high-end real estate was 165% in 2007 and will widen.</p> <p>Dubai is also cushioned by movement of equity from depressed markets in the West. Properties in Dubai are cheap compared to their equivalents in Britain. Al Mal expects the upswing in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/ ">real estate</a> to go beyond 2010 despite temporary dips and lure of high returns on relatively cheap properties in Dubai are very tempting.</p> Wed, 21 May 2008 13:00:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/property-agents-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/property-agents-in-dubai.asp <p>An Arab woman was conned out of Dh1.3 million by an Arab man claiming to be a <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/property-in-dubai-buyers-guide.asp">property agent in Dubai</a>. In a second case, an Asian woman paid Dh400,000 for two apartments to an Arab woman posing as a property agent in Dubai. Investors can take comfort that in both cases, the perpetrators were arrested.</p> <p>With literally billions of dollars moving through the hands of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/agents.asp">property agents in Dubai</a> every year, there are bound to be some unscrupulous elements. However, the government has instituted several strictures on property agents in Dubai to eliminate these cases.  One of the most important of these is RERA: the Real Estate Regulatory Agency which vets all prospective property agents in Dubai thoroughly.  Investors are advised to ensure that their property <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/work_with_us.asp">agents and developers</a> are registered with RERA.</p> <p>The primary role of RERA is the granting of licenses and regulating of property agents in Dubai. It is also charged with supervising the escrow accounts which were introduced recently to protect buyer’s funds. To reign in rogue property agents in Dubai, <a href="http://www.business24-7.ae/cs/article_show_mainh1_story.aspx?HeadlineID=1279">RERA</a> has also mandated that all advertisements need clearance.</p> <p>To ensure fruitful engagement with property agents in Dubai one should clear the rules of the deal. For example who pays the brokerage and other costs of your property agents in Dubai. One should also be aware of the services that property agents in Dubai provide. A good <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">real estate agent in Dubai</a> can be helpful not only in selecting the right property, but also to provide insights to local real estate regulations and pruning down additional costs. When well managed your relationship with your property agents in Dubai can be a good investment.</p> Wed, 21 May 2008 13:17:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/commercial-properties-in-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/commercial-properties-in-dubai.asp <p><a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">Commercial properties in Dubai</a> is today witnessing unprecedented growth largely due to a phenomenal growth in the number of companies, across the spectrum, setting up in Dubai.  Further fueling the demand for commercial properties in Dubai has been the lack of development in this sector as opposed to <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/real-estate-articles/dubai-residential-property.asp">residential real estate</a>.</p> <p>Industry experts reported that last month rental yields on commercial properties in Dubai were at 17-18%. In the current scenario yields accrued from commercial properties in Dubai are among the highest in the world today. <a href="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/515101-dubai-office-rents-could-surge-60-this-year?ln=en">Arabianbusiness.com</a> attribute the rise in leasing costs on commercial properties in Dubai simply to supply and demand.  They note that though there is 1.72 million square feet of commercial property in Dubai, current demand will require another 7.29 million square feet.</p> <p>By contrast to commercial <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">property in Dubai</a>, residential properties though still attractive may see prices plateau at least temporarily in the near future.  This is because it is expected that many large residential developments will be completed in this period. The additional supply is expected to cause the residential market to soften a bit. Already, there is some downward pressure on rental yields of some residential properties whilst commercial properties in Dubai are seeing incredible gains.</p> <p>Another attraction to the investor looking at <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/city-centre-investment.asp">commercial properties</a> in Dubai is that typically tenants will be companies and therefore generally more stable tenants.  Moreover tenants often share building upkeep and insurance in commercial properties in Dubai. These together with the huge demand for commercial property in Dubai will ensure good yields and growth for the investor.</p> Thu, 22 May 2008 13:25:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/villa-marina-dubai.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/villa-marina-dubai.asp <p>The exclusive villas of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/dubai/dubai marina.html">Villa Marina Dubai</a> offer investors <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">high-end properties</a> set in beautifully planned surroundings with all the facilities and amenities for luxurious living.

With highly successful projects like Villa Marina Dubai attracting investors from all over the world, there is no slowing down for the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">property market in Dubai</a>. The prices are not cheap. But the attractions and the return on investment are very high.</p> <p>A recent press release stated that the number of visitors estimated to visit Dubai in 2010 could be as high as over 10 million. The potential for securing high rentals with so many foreign visitors coming into Dubai makes Villa Marina Dubai a great and sure investment.

Several organizations provide very efficient management services for a Dubai holiday home making ownership hassle free. There are however a few important considerations, when one is <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">investing in a Dubai holiday home</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Your Dubai <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/holiday-homes-lettings.asp">holiday home</a> should have that ‘wow’ factor, like a stunning locale, or easy access to the airport or city centre, or great facilities like a pool, terraced garden or luxury fittings.

The latest is Green Lakes Serviced Apartments by Emirates Hotels and Resorts. The growing interest promoting serviced apartments in Dubai is reflected in DTCM’s statistics. According to DTCM the number of guests rose by 11 percent in 2007 and Dubai’s deluxe serviced apartments had an average occupancy of 81 percent last year. Further over 200,000 visitors from the European Union utilised luxury apartments last year, led by the United Kingdom with nearly half of these visitors.</p> <p>Many from the industry feel that visitors prefer to stay in a serviced <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">Dubai apartment</a> because it provides all the comforts of a glamorous home combined with the services of a hotel. Especially for those visiting the Emirate for more than just a few days, staying in a serviced Dubai apartment does not have the sense of ‘living out of a bag’. A serviced apartment facility in Dubai would typically come with all the trappings of housekeeping,  restaurants, gyms, pools, etc. so one can live in comfort and entertain easily too. Further a serviced Dubai apartment can be cost effective for long stays or for groups or families travelling together.</p> <p>A Dubai apartment is a lifestyle symbol and a much sought after investment. While traditionally developers looked at accruing returns on a Dubai apartment from merely flipping around the property, they are now looking at ways to generate an attractive income from their Dubai apartment. The fantastic returns on serviced <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">apartments in Dubai</a> further reiterate the health of the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/">real estate market</a> and the <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/investment/dubai-investment-economic-factors.asp">Dubai economy</a> as a whole.</p> Mon, 26 May 2008 14:38:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-city-apartments.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-city-apartments.asp <h3>Greater Supply of Apartments in Dubai City</h3> <p>Recently, investors have been cautioned of rentals of <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">Dubai city apartments</a> softening. Later this year, a large number of new Dubai city apartments are expected to enter the market. This could lead to an unprecedented situation of supply outpacing demand for <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">apartments in Dubai city</a>. However, many agents and realtors report that whilst rents for mid-market Dubai city apartments have seen lower percentage increases, high-end Dubai city apartments’ rents have increased considerably over the last year. For example, in Old Town Burj Dubai, rental rates of a two-bedroom flat jumped from an average of Dh145,000 last year to Dh175,000 earlier this year.</p> <p>On the other hand some experts insist that the impact of new units on rentals of apartments in Dubai city is mere speculation. They are of the view that landlords command high rents on Dubai city apartments because inventories are still low and new supply will only ease the gap. Louise Pitt of the leasing department at Landmark Properties said her firm is working hard to meet demand by renters because housing stock is still tight. Rental rates, she said, are really still as varied as are the types of apartments and neighbourhoods in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/">Dubai city</a>.</p> <h3>Rental Cap Impact on Dubai City Apartments</h3> <p>Dubai city apartments have seen incredible hikes in rents recently. To stem inflation, the government imposed a 5% cap on rent increases. This seems to have stabilised the market, however, landlords of new apartments in Dubai city continue to ask for high rents. Most buy-to-let investors continue to be bullish about Dubai <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/city-centre-investment.asp">city apartments</a> because the market fundamentals are strong. The buoyant <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/property/investment/dubai-investment-economic-factors.asp">Dubai economy</a> and steady increase in the expatriate population will ensure that Dubai city apartments will always be in demand.</p> Mon, 26 May 2008 14:56:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-condominiums.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-condominiums.asp <p>Dubai's Condominium Law relates to the management of common property and shared facilities such as parking, lifts, pools, roadways etc. Investors in Dubai condominiums have been somewhat sceptical as there has been a lack of clear demarcation in responsibility for common areas and this is one of the issues addressed under the new <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/10770/Jacuma-Beach-Resort.html">Dubai Condominium</a> Law.</p> <p>Under the new regulations, <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/IPIN/10770/Jacuma-Beach-Resort.html">Dubai condominiums</a> are required to establish an association after the first unit of the development is sold, which will comprise all unit owners together with the master developer. The Owners Association of a Dubai condominium will be responsible for the maintenance of shared facilities, improve the quality of life of the residents and contribute towards the city’s environment. Condominium owners in <a href="http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/dubai/">Dubai</a> have to pay their share of the maintenance as an annual fee; however owners of Dubai condominiums welcome the fact that they now have control over budgets.</p> <p>Commenting on the new law, Peter Crogan, Chief Executive Officer of the UAE-based BCS - Strata Management Services, said.

Huge investments have been made to create an environment and infrastructure conducive to business. Dubai commercial properties were established that compete with those in other international economic hubs such as Singapore, Hong Kong and London. To entice multinationals to establish their businesses in Dubai, commercial properties were brought together into free trade zones (FTZs). Apart from great infrastructure, Dubai commercial properties in FTZs enjoy many tax and business incentives.<br /> <br /> Dubai commercial properties within FTZs allow 100% ownership of the business. Moreover, for business in a Dubai commercial property inside a FTZ, full repatriation of capital is allowed. Dubai commercial properties are most sought after also because of a zero tax culture. By establishing a business in a Dubai commercial property, you can be assured of complete confidentiality of your business and accounts. Most importantly Dubai has a highly advanced and secured banking system geared towards international investors.<br /> <br /> Most Dubai commercial properties are located within its 8 FTZ's and there are twelve more that being completed. Dubai commercial properties in these FTZ's are grouped by sector. For example, the Dubai International Financial Centre, which has some of the most expensive commercial properties in Dubai, is a geographic and legal jurisdiction linking global exchanges including the NASDAQ, LSE and HKEX. The FTZ is home to prime financial bodies like the Dubai International Financial Exchange and Dubai Stock Exchange and financial sector companies can garner great advantage by locating their Dubai commercial properties in such an environment.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:05:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-estate-agents.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-estate-agents.asp <p>Dubai is a growing market where most properties are bought directly from developers. However, as more properties are transacted in the secondary market, the role played by Dubai estate agents is set to increase. Dubai estate agents need to bolster the trust and confidence of investors. It is important, that Dubai estate agents are qualified, regulated and disciplined, particularly in view of the large number of international investors being wooed there. Unlike Dubai estate agents, realtors in the US charge up to seven percent of a sale. This fee is not paid grudgingly because the agent does more than merely introduce a property. He is an expert in valuations and the market, helps in negotiations, and assists with procedures. Dubai estate agents too need to see a transaction through, and in a cost efficient manner.<br /> <br /> The Government realizes the importance of raising the bar among Dubai estate agents. RERA, the regulatory authority, has introduced strict measures to mitigate malpractices by Dubai estate agents. Punitive measures that range from warnings to imprisonment have been legislated for improper behaviour by Dubai estate agents.<br /> <br /> Moreover, RERA has endeavoured to regularise advertisements released by Dubai estate agents. According to the law, only Dubai estate agents registered with RERA can advertise. Advertisements have to be approved prior to being released. "We cannot let people promise and not deliver in Dubai" said Marwan bin Ghalita, the CEO of RERA. RERA has established a framework to bring transparency between Dubai estate agents and investors. Buyers should now insist that their Dubai estate agents have the required licenses and approvals to operate.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:15:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-golf-course-property.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-golf-course-property.asp <p>Promoters of Dubai golf course property realize the importance of brand names. They provide symbolism and status. Most Dubai golf course properties are designed by high profile architects, and the courses, by legends of the game. In a bid to outdo each other, each new Dubai golf course property tries to lure a more powerful name. For example, two of the golf courses at Jumeirah Golf Estates are designed by golf's "Great White Shark", Greg Norman. Ernie Els, considered the international ambassador of the sport, designed the course at another Dubai golf course property in Dubai Sport City. The latest to hit the circuit of Dubai golf course properties is The Tiger Woods Dubai.<br /> <br /> Even by standards of Dubai golf course property, The Tiger Woods Dubai will be outstanding. Scheduled for completion in late 2009, this Dubai golf course property is set to be an exclusive lifestyle community with the spectacular Al Ruwaya Golf Course as its focal point. The routing for the golf course will be the first to be designed by Tiger Woods himself. This Dubai golf course property will be located over an area of 55 million square feet. The Tiger Woods Dubai has a club house, high-end spa, a luxury boutique hotel, 22 palaces, 75 mansions and 100 luxury villas.<br /> <br /> Commenting on the property, Tiger Woods said, "The Tiger Woods Dubai is designed to become, one of the world's most sought after destinations. I think this community will be a genuine oasis for those lucky enough to live or stay within its spectacular grounds."</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:16:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-golf-property.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-golf-property.asp <p>From two very rudimentary Dubai golf properties a decade ago, the city has grown in to a golfers' paradise.

Dubai's economy is a growing at a very fast pace and there are huge human resource needs in almost every sector. For businessmen Dubai homes is a base in a tax-free haven. Many organisations have shifted their headquarters to Dubai in order to enjoy the tax incentives provided by the government. A cosmopolitan global community has thus been established as professionals and businessmen from all over the world converge to set up their Dubai homes. To support this multicultural environment, Dubai homes provide an inspirational lifestyle with the best the world has to offer.<br /> <br /> Entertainment: Dubai's society is rather liberal and those establishing Dubai homes can be assured of excellent recreation facilities.

With a Dubai home one also has access to the latest movies, fabulous sporting facilities and ample opportunities to break away from the routine.<br /> <br /> Climate: Fair weather through eight months of the year ensures a comfortable stay in your Dubai home.

Private health insurance is a must and is generally offered by employers as part of the employee's benefits package.<br /> <br /> Getting about: Traffic in Dubai can be very frustrating. Expatriates are advised to look for Dubai homes close to their offices or children's schools. Most localities however, are self-sufficient and well contained.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:17:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-houses.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-houses.asp <p>Propelled by an influx of petro-dollars and a vision to build a world-class business hub, Dubai drew people from all over the world. Traditional Dubai houses soon gave way mushrooming skyscrapers, state-of-the-art business centres and multi-lane roads - trappings of a mega-polis. Developers bought out quaint Dubai houses that were replaced by colossal construction projects. Today modern Dubai houses are lifestyle symbols. They are in such high demand that supply just cannot keep up. In such a scenario, conservationist fear that the few remnants of old Dubai will soon disappear.<br /> <br /> Bastakiya was what used to be old Dubai's central township. Now it comprises only one percent of the city. Dubai houses there were made of coral, gypsum and palm fronds. The unique feature of these Dubai houses were wind towers on the roof that routed cool breeze into the house replacing warm air from within. Intricate wood and stone work on old Dubai houses denoted the family's wealth and stature. In 1990 the Government bought most of the Dubai houses in Bastakiya to protect them from developers. Many of these Dubai houses were converted into galleries, cafes and museums. Historians fear that not much is being done to maintain surviving old Dubai houses and structures. The annual budget for the architectural heritage department is approximately $5.45 million. Fortunately there now a big effort to enhance political will, augment this budget and step up efforts to protect these ancient Dubai houses. There also is a movement to give Old Dubai, which includes Bastakiya with its traditional Dubai houses, UNESCO world heritage site status.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:18:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-housing-market.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-housing-market.asp <p>The Dubai housing market anticipated that thousands of new units would hit the market by mid-2008. Analysts expected that the additional supply would cause the Dubai housing market to soften. However, the construction industry has experienced delays caused by shortages and price increases in materials and labour. Now predictions of a more stable correction in the Dubai housing market have been revised to after 2009. In view of the current situation, EFG-Hermes forecasts that prices in Dubai's housing market will rise 10-15 per cent this year and 5-10 per cent next year, peaking in the second half of 2008.<br /> <br /> "As a result of the immensity of this boom, and supply coming on slower than expected, we won't have the same correction as forecast," said Philip Khoury, EFG-Hermes' head of research.<br /> <br /> In contrast to EFG-Hermes forecasts of an eventual correction, real estate agents and other industry players insist that new supply will not have a significant impact on the Dubai housing market. Dubai's 1.4m population is projected to grow at eight per cent a year. An economic boom is bringing in large numbers of expatriates to the Emirate, placing huge pressure on Dubai's housing market. Right now there is a big inventory problem and Dubai's housing market cannot cope with demand. The Dubai housing market has a supply deficit of about 50,000 housing units a year. Many believe that new supply will simply be swallowed up by the market leaving only a marginal impact on prices. Inflation in construction materials will also impact the Dubai housing market. Despite government subsidies, the cost of construction has risen significantly causing a further upward trend in prices.</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:20:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-investments.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-investments.asp <p>Dubai investment bank, EFG Hermes estimates that British buyers now account for 12% of international property investors. Of these, some 100,000 British expatriates reside in the Emirate and have a healthy share of Dubai investments in property. The Dubai Land Department values the total investments in Dubai property by British at about 4.7bn dirhams ($1.3bn).<br /> <br /> Dubai Investments have paid rich dividends with prices seeing sharp escalations. Developers have served up many exotic options making Dubai investments such as 'sculpted' islands and property in the worlds largest tower, are some of the most exciting anywhere. Dubai investments are further bolstered by solid market fundamentals. These factors and irresistible offers by realtors have enticed many into the Dubai investment market. Incentives such as free luxury cars and residential visas for those making Dubai investments are another source of temptation.<br /> <br /> The going has been great for Dubai investments thus far; however questions are now being raised on the impact of the falling pound. The sterling fell by over 2.5% to the dirham last year. This could make Dubai investments more expensive for the British buyer. Despite this fall, Dubai based realtors aren't too worried. They insist that the earning potential of Dubai property will continue bring investors in. The population grows rapidly each year and international companies are increasingly setting up offices, there. In the face of lower earning potential back home, demand for Dubai investments shows no signs of waning.(<a href="http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=220625&version=1&template_id=48&parent_id=28">http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=220625&version=1&template_id=48&parent_id=28</a>)</p> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:21:00 GMT http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-investment-experts.asp http://www.propertyshowrooms.com/united arab emirates/real-estate-articles/dubai-investment-experts.asp <p>A good place to look for good Dubai investment experts is within established real estate agencies.

The Dubai economy continues to grow exponentially and increased demand for residential and commercial properties far out paces demand. Almost everyday a new development project is announced placing more pressure on Dubai land plots. Recently AZIZI Investments, a Dubai-based real estate developer, purchased Dubai land plots worth Dh 3.5 billion to commence two realty projects.

These investments have had a significant impact on the overall Dubai properties market too.<br /> <br /> Buy-to-let Dubai properties benefit hugely from the tourism market. Rentals on high-end Dubai properties show little sign of softening as Dubai targets the cream amongst the world's tourists. Recently, concerns about inflation, led the government to seek imposition of a rental cap on Dubai properties which stabilised the Dubai properties market to some degree. However, high demand continues to push rents of Dubai properties upwards. Tourism is expected to generate AED 286.2 billion in revenues, a direct contribution of 6.4% of GDP. This is estimated to expand to AED 498.8 billion by 2018.
