Leasehold

In Dubai Leasehold represents an important alternative to traditional freehold ownership. This form of ownership is particularly common in certain neighbourhoods and development projects where full ownership is not offered for strategic or legal reasons.

The most important features of the leasehold model are

  • One Fixed term of the right of use, usually 99 years
  • The possibility to Passing on or for sale of the right of use
  • Clear regulations regarding the Maintenance obligations
  • Often more favourable Entry-level prices compared to freehold properties

For Investors in Dubai Leasehold offers both opportunities and special considerations. The lower entry-level price makes this form of ownership particularly interesting for price-conscious investors. However, you should bear in mind that the value of a leasehold property can fall as the remaining term of the right of use decreases.

Important aspects when deciding in favour of a leasehold property:

  • Financing: Banks can be more cautious when granting loans
  • Value stability: The performance can be influenced by the remaining term
  • Flexibility of use: Possible restrictions by the property owner
  • Transferability: Clear legal regulations for resale

In Dubai, Leasehold is often used in up-and-coming neighbourhoods where dynamic development is expected. This can offer opportunities for value appreciation, even if the right of use is limited in time. For a well-founded investment decision, a careful examination of the contractual conditions and the development prospects of the location is recommended.
