Buying an apartment in Dubai
Looking to buy an apartment in Dubai as a smart real estate investment? At RD Dubai, we've been helping Dutch investors find the perfect off-plan apartment in Dubai for years. We focus on new developments that allow you to benefit from value growth during the construction period. We have the expertise and connections to make your Dubai apartment-buying experience worry-free.
Dubai's off-plan apartment market offers numerous opportunities for international investors, from luxury penthouses in Downtown Dubai to affordable units in emerging neighborhoods. The beauty of buying an off-plan apartment in Dubai is that as a foreigner, you get full ownership rights in the so-called "freehold zones," meaning you have the same rights as local buyers.
Why buy an off-plan apartment in Dubai?
The most compelling argument for buying an off-plan apartment in Dubai is the yield. While Dutch investors have to settle for low gross yields in their home market, much higher yields are common in Dubai. This is due to strong rental demand from expats, tourists, and young professionals coming to Dubai for work or lifestyle.
A major advantage of buying a Dubai apartment is that short-term rentals are fully permitted. This means you can rent out your apartment through Airbnb, Booking.com, or other platforms for higher daily rates. Apartments close to tourist attractions, business centers, or the beach, in particular, can generate excellent income from vacation rentals.
No income tax on your rental income
The tax structure makes buying an apartment in Dubai particularly attractive. There's no income tax on your rental income, no wealth tax on your property, and no inheritance tax. This means your net return is significantly higher than what you're used to from Dutch investments. This is thanks to the Double Taxation Act.
The full ownership rights in freehold zones give you the same rights as local buyers. You can sell your apartment whenever you want, rent it to whomever you like, and even obtain financing from local banks. This security makes buying an apartment in Dubai a reliable long-term investment.
Our approach is flexible from selection to key handover
What makes RD Dubai unique in the market is our holistic approach to buying an apartment in Dubai. We always start with a thorough analysis of your investment goals. Are you looking for maximum return, capital appreciation, or a combination? What's your budget and risk profile? Based on this intake, we select apartments that perfectly match your criteria. Curious about the regulations? We know all about that too!
Our selection is based on three key criteria: location, price, and potential return. We only show apartments in neighborhoods we would buy ourselves. No tourist traps or overvalued projects. Each location is assessed for accessibility, amenities, future development, and rental demand. We analyze price against comparable properties and market value. And we calculate realistic returns, including all costs and local market rents.
We take care of all legal aspects
After purchasing a property in Dubai, your involvement doesn't have to stop. We connect you with our network of local partners who will take care of everything for you. From tenant selection to maintenance, from rent collection to tax reporting! You'll receive your monthly net rental income without a single worry. Dubai is currently the center of global real estate attention, and rightly so. With major events, new business districts, and innovative developments, Dubai has become the hotspot for savvy real estate investors.
