EMAAR, Nakheel, IFA, DAMAC - Buying Dubai Investment Property,

2008-07-28T22:37:00.000-07:00

We are young, motivated and professionally qualified private investors who have:

1. identified excellent investment opportunities in the property market in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE);

2. developed key strategic contacts with the major decision makers in the sector, that enable us to source attractive investment opportunities in the Dubai property sector, often not available to the vast majority of the market; and

3. developed key contacts with high net worth investors in Dubai, Middle East, Europe, US, Canada, South Africa, and Russia who own large numbers of properties in various developments. As a result of our close contacts, we are able to have access to properties for sale that are not available to the general market. Typically, these properties will be available at a lower price than the market price.

The Dubai property market is extremely dynamic and fast moving. It is essential to develop key contacts with decision makers in the sector and to keep up to date with investment opportunities that are often only available for short periods, and only to those who have developed key strategic contacts. Many of the most attractive investment opportunities are snapped up by well connected investors before they are released to the market.

Our philosophy is to source prime Dubai investment properties ideally either directly from the Developer/off-plan or in the re-sale market, at rates that beat the market price. Our key strategic contacts with each of the main developers in Dubai (EMAAR, Nakheel, IFA, DAMAC and others) and with high net worth Sellers means that we have opportunities available to us that the vast majority of the market is unaware of.

We believe that this is an attractive formula for us and for our Buyers.

Our business philosophy

We promise that we will observe the highest business ethical standards in all of our dealings. We are reputable young professionals, who are based in London and the UAE. We are entirely transparent in the way we conduct business, and we recognize that the success of our venture depends on your full and continued confidence in us. Ultimately our continued success depends on our integrity and reputation in what is an unregulated and uncertain market.

We offer a sharp, professional service, underpinned by our expertise in a fast developing market and our business integrity. We have been active in the Dubai property market for the last 3 years and offer you the benefit of our expertise and contacts.

11 Reasons to Buy A Property In Dubai?

2008-07-28T21:18:00.000-07:00

1. Property prices look cheap by International standards, and rental yields are still high in Dubai.
2. Long-term residents of U.A.E. are considering buying to replace rental payments and to take advantage of the ever increasing market demand for property in Dubai.

3. There is a big change in the city's geography underway with huge plans for the future. What is the fringe of Dubai today, the Dubai Marina, will be uptown Dubai of tomorrow. Thus property values will follow this curve upwards, as people relocate to the new "Centre".

4. Comparatively property is cheap compared to other major cities in the World. Dubai villas cost around $1,000 per square metre. London on the other hand are selling apartments in London Docklands area at $5,000 per square metre an amazing difference.

5. Oversupply is the main fear highlighted by skeptics. But there can only be so many properties in prime locations and the time to buy them is now. Most projects are now fetching three times their original price.

6. Legally, there is no law to prevent freehold purchase in Dubai, and a new federal law should shortly frame legal rights into a form acceptable to international banks for mortgages this will push demand and prices up even higher than they are now.

7. Demand for freehold property in Dubai is much higher than most people can comprehend and understand. Certainly an economy growing at 10% plus a year has a dynamic effect of its own that reflects a huge demand for accommodation.

8. Any property market is going to have its ups and downs, and Dubai will be no different. All the same, Dubai has a habit of frustrating those who wait for bargains. In 1998 some thought rental prices would collapse. It did not happen they are still on the up as is Abu Dhabi.

9. Dubai is in the process of creating an international property market from scratch. As a result buyers are being given an exceptionally good deal to encourage them to be the pioneers of this market with very low deposits.

10. As the second-hand market emerges and the legal position of owners becomes absolutely clear, the element of risk will go, and lower risk will mean higher property prices.

11. Dubai is a city where a lot of people earn high tax-free salaries and are in a position to support higher house prices. This is a city with a 20-year track record of strong economic growth and will continue to attract foreign and regional inward investment for many years to come.

Dubai Residence Visas: Visas for Dubai, U.A.E.

2008-06-28T21:38:00.000-07:00

The purchase of real estate in Dubai entitles the Buyer to obtain a residence permit (visa) for him and his family. This is initially limited to a period of three years, however, the visa can be extended by paying a fee of approx. 1,500 US Dollars (AED 5,000 per person) for another three years.

The visa is can be obtained by married couples and children. This is great news for the ongoing success of Dubai’s property market because the uncertainty regarding residency visas has been one of the major issues holding back potential expatriates buying a property. It’s important to note however, that the visas given are NOT work visas; the visa gives you the right to live in your property in Dubai but do not give you the right to work.

If you are working in Dubai then you must hold an employment visa, which is the employer’s responsibility and can be obtained through the employer

The new property law will address some of the key issues including legalising foreign freehold ownership of Dubai properties. Various government departments including the Lands Department and Dubai Municipality are following up the projects by approving them due to the strong growth in Dubai's property market, the emirate has extended the freehold ownership facility to expatriates before issuing the law.

WHAT IS A FREEHOLD PROPERTY:

The owner of a freehold title of real estate enjoys the most superior form of private property ownership. A freeholder is considered to be the absolute owner of the land and buildings comprised in his title; he has the right to occupy, use and enjoy his property forever (“in perpetuity”) or until he transfers the title to a new owner, and his heirs are entitled to inherit his title upon his death.

FREEHOLD PROPERTIES IN DUBAI:

Dubai can now be confidently regarded as one of the world’s most promising investment possibilities. The UAE’s political and economic stability, combined with a tax-free environment and the high rate of return on investment has substantially aided the property market, The absence of a federal law will not have any impact on the rights of the expatriate owners of properties.

Dubai Property Investments

2008-03-28T21:44:00.000-07:00

In recent years, the spotlight of the world has fallen upon Dubai. Positioned as a global hub, at a strategic point where east meets west, it has rapidly developed from the small trading enclave of 50 years ago to the major international centre of industry, commerce and tourism that it is today.

Dubai is a lucrative choice of destination for investment for a number of reasons. Its world-class infrastructure coupled with a safe living and a facilitated business environment make it an ideal place to live and work. In addition, Dubai's population is set to double in the next decade making the demand for Dubai real estate even more viable

The Sheikhs' foresighted policy of reinvesting UAE oil revenues in the future of Dubai has ensured a wealthy and diverse economy. Many of the projects under development, which include highly innovative tourist attractions, will pull more and more visitors to Dubai in the years to come, while the mostly temperate weather and all year round sunshine make it an attractive short and long haul holiday destination.

There's something for everyone in Dubai. Not only does it have the superb beaches and water sport facilities that most sun, sea and sand seekers would expect, the state lays on every activity imaginable for visitors and residents alike. Ranging from shopping festivals, world-class sporting facilities and entertainment events, to sumptuous hotels, restaurants, clubs and bars, there is never a dull moment in this land where leisure is all part of the lifestyle. Added to this, Dubai is a tolerant, stable and safe society, with high standards of living, low incidences of crime and a welcoming attitude to incomers, who are rarely disappointed by all that this enterprising Emirate has to offer.

Dubai is destine

Dubai Mortgage & Property Financing

2007-09-28T21:28:00.000-07:00

The purchase of property is usually the largest financial outlay of capital in most people's lives. Selecting the most cost-effective mortgage from the outset could save thousands over the lifetime of the loan.

Until now cash buyers have driven the market, with a disproportionately high percentage of speculators apparent in single purchases of multiple units.
But once the cash buyers are all gone, what the market will need is a vibrant mortgage market to support the burgeoning property market.

The following are some of the financing / mortgage options available in Dubai:

Amlak Finance:

Originally established in 2000, Amlak was the first to offer mortgages in the UAE. The company was conceived to provide longer-term financing to Emaar customers, unable to meet more traditional short term mortgage payment schedules. “The recent announcement of the freehold ownership for expatriates has further boosted investor confidence in Dubai's real estate sector and sparked growth in the uptake of mortgage products offered by Amlak Finance. In line with this, we at Amlak Finance have created a truly value-packed offer at very competitive interest rates," said the general manager of Amlak Finance.

Amlak announces 25-year mortgage: Amlak Finance, announced a new home financing scheme in which UAE nationals as well as foreign investors can take advantage of 90 per cent finance of the property value with a maximum of 25 years. The maximum loan per individual has been capped at Dh 5 million. In addition, the maximum debt service coverage ratio (ie, the monthly mortgage payment) is 55 per cent of your monthly salary; and you also have to have been in full-time employment in the UAE, with the same employer, for a minimum of three years. Although Amlak naturally complements Emaar’s business by providing prospective homeowners with long-term financing, it will provide mortgages to a wide range of developers.

Tamweel Home Finance:

Upto 70% Finance ArrangedTamweel brings together the legacy of two great organizations - Dubai Islamic Bank, the first Islamic Bank in the world, and Istithmar, which is part of the corporate group (including the Dubai Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, Nakheel, Dubai Metals and Commodities Centre and Tejari), and is one of the fastest growing real estate developers, with a dominant presence in trade and commerce in the region. Tamweel aim to be the most admired leader amongst finance companies in the UAE.

Dubai Islamic Bank:

The Dubai Islamic Bank that functions on the principles of the Islamic finance techniques, buys the property on behalf of the customer and is the legal owner of the property. The customer will then lease it from Dubai Islamic Bank for a period mutually agreed upon and on complete repayment of the loan, the transfer of the property to the name of the owner is then effected.
Here the mortgage technique is not used, but a contract referred to as ‘Ijara’ that is very similar to the conventional leasing is applied.

Since the project that they finance is in the name of the bank till complete repayment of the loan amount, they eliminate the risk factor totally.
Other local and foreign banks have stepped into the Dubai property mortgage / finance market, like Barclays and HSBC bank, and more are expected over time.

Mall of the Emirates:Dubai
