Dubai's real estate market has become a global investment magnet. Talking to ET NOW, Vivek Oberoi, MD and co-founder of BNW Developments, a luxury real estate company focused on Dubai explains why investors all over the world are interested in Dubai.
Dubai offers a completely tax-free investment environment. As Vivek Oberoi notes, "There is no capital gains, there is no tax on income generated from any of the assets." This means your 8% return remains exactly 8% - with no deductions for capital gains or income taxes.
Dubai properties deliver remarkable returns. Dubai's property yield is 13-14% and above, so it is a great yield generator market. These figures significantly outperform typical yields in mature markets like London or New York, which average 3-5%.
Investors benefit from dual appreciation: property value growth plus currency advantages. "Dubai is pegged to the dollar and as the dollar keeps rising, automatically up to 5 per cent per year, investors gain even that," says Oberoi. This dollar peg provides a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
Accessing capital in Dubai is remarkably straightforward. Investors get 70 to 80 percent of debt. The debt cost is very, very low and is going even further lower. So, the ownership becomes cheaper. This accessible financing amplifies potential returns through positive leverage.
Dubai's position between East and West puts two-thirds of the world's population within an 8-hour flight. This geographic advantage, combined with world-class infrastructure, ensures sustained property demand from global business interests.
Beyond investment returns, Dubai offers year-round sunshine, pristine beaches, exceptional shopping, dining, healthcare, and education. Many developments include amenities that would be premium extras elsewhere: private beaches, infinity pools, and smart home technology often come standard.
Dubai stands out as a premier global destination for international property investors. Its strategic location, tax advantages, strong rental yields, and stable economy make it an attractive market for those seeking to diversify their real estate portfolios abroad.
