Investors are not afraid to buy property so actively due to the implementation of state security guarantees. All transactions are executed by licensed brokers. Contracts are standardized, and money transfers are carried out without risk. Citizens of other countries who own real estate in the Emirates are granted the same rights by the government as their own citizens. In case of purchase of real estate in the object under construction, all funds of the buyer are also protected. Investment Guide for foreign investors is described in this article.

In addition, many are captivated by the rapid development of the country. Emirates always attract those who want to relax, do business or move to live. This factor dictates the constant demand for real estate, so your apartment will definitely not be idle if you want to rent it out.

Another advantage can be considered a constant increase in prices. In the case of the purchase of housing in a building under construction, upon completion of construction, the price of the object may increase twice.
