For several years now, you have been considering leaving Europe to launch your business. Indeed, you are already an entrepreneur in France, but you feel that the tax conditions are not in place to enable companies to reach their full potential.
It’s decided: you are going to
set up your company in Dubai. And to develop it as successfully as possible, you therefore want to live in the United Arab Emirates with the rest of your family.
For the procedures related to registering your company and setting up your business bank account, you know that you can rely on us. But you are somewhat concerned about finding your future home in Dubai:
- Is it difficult to find accommodation in Dubai?
- Is the choice diverse?
- How can you make the property search in the United Arab Emirates easier?
We will attempt to answer all these questions in this article.
Take the time to define your needs and expectations
Even if you are not originally from the United Arab Emirates, you should have no difficulty finding accommodation. Indeed, the choice is very diverse in Dubai, as it is elsewhere in the country.
The
Dubai real estate market has a few specific features that are important to know before starting your property search:
- Accommodation costs more in the United Arab Emirates than in France. However, the sharp increase in prices that took place over several years seems to have come to an end. The real estate market is currently stable. Naturally, prices depend greatly on the size of the accommodation, the number of bedrooms, and its location.
- As a foreigner, you can rent or buy using your residence visa. However, be aware that certain restrictions still apply. For example, foreigners are not permitted to purchase real estate in the Umm Suqelm area near the Burj Al Arab.
- Some areas are particularly popular in Dubai: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Emirated Living (Emirates Hills, The Lakes, The Views, The Parklands, The Meadows, The Springs and The Greens), Downtown (the famous Burj Khalifa district), and Arabian Ranch in the desert.
Even before contacting a real estate agency, ask yourself about your needs, preferences, and constraints:
- Do you want to buy or rent?
- Would you prefer a villa or an apartment?
- A studio, a one-bedroom apartment, or a large four-bedroom villa with a swimming pool?
- Would you prefer to settle in the city center or outside it?
- Would you like to live in a particular area of Dubai?
- How much can you spend each month on rent? What is your budget for purchasing a home?
Depending on your answers, you will already have a clearer idea of the type of
property in Dubai you are looking for.
