The good news is that the UAE has consistently maintained relatively stable yields from June 2017 to June 2018, ranking among the highest in the world. <\/span><\/p><p>In this article, we explore how Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates compare to other global cities and examine how rental yields have shifted across the Emirates over the past year. Whether you&rsquo;re seeking insights or planning your next move, understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/en\/rent\/properties-for-rent.html\" target=\"_blank\">UAE house rent<\/a> trends is essential.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rental-yields-explained\"><b>Rental yields explained<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental yields are the rental income (the money a tenant pays to the landlord) as a percentage of the property&rsquo;s value. It is fairly simple to calculate:<\/span><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total annual rent divided by the property purchase price (or value) = gross rental yield<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total rent minus property expenses divided by the property purchase price (or value) = net rental yield<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result should be multiplied by 100 for the net rental yield percentage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental yields are determined by a number of factors, according to <strong>Lukman Hajje, Chief Commercial Officer of Propertyfinder Group<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, smaller properties produce better rental yields than larger ones. Apartments are better than villas, and studios are better than larger apartments, for example.&rdquo; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;But also consider location.
