Pros and cons of buying a luxury apartment in Dubai

Pros of Luxury Apartments For Sale In Dubai

  • Dubai levies no income tax on property income or capital gains, allowing investors to retain the full benefit of rental returns and price appreciation.
  • Rental yields in prime areas reach between 5% and 10%, placing Dubai among the top-performing markets globally.
  • The city maintains high safety standards, with luxury towers offering secure access and round-the-clock concierge services.

Cons of luxury flats for sale in Dubai

  • Summer heat and humidity from June to September make outdoor activity difficult and limit walkability for several months of the year.
  • Prices have risen 124% since 2020, meaning buyers now need substantial upfront capital to enter the market.
  • High service charges and cooling fees in luxury buildings can add significantly to monthly running costs.

FAQs about Luxury Apartments For Sale In Dubai

Is buying a luxury apartment in Dubai a good investment? 

Yes. Prime areas like Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah consistently deliver gross rental yields of 5% to 6%, alongside strong historical capital growth. The absence of income tax adds further to the overall return for investors.

Can foreigners buy property in Dubai? 

Yes. Foreign nationals are legally permitted to purchase freehold property in designated areas across the emirate. This open approach to ownership has driven sustained demand from buyers in the UK, India, and many other countries.

What are the best areas for Dubai luxury apartments for sale? 

Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Marina are the leading addresses for luxury flats for sale in Dubai. Each offers a distinct lifestyle, strong demand from tenants, and solid long-term investment fundamentals.

What are the upfront costs when buying? 

The primary upfront cost is a 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee applied to the purchase price. Some off-plan developments offer a waiver on this fee as a buyer incentive, so it is worth checking the terms of each project.

What is the average price of a luxury apartment in Dubai? 

Prices vary considerably depending on location and unit size. As a general guide, entry-level luxury apartments in Dubai Marina start at around AED 1.5 million, while a premium penthouse on Palm Jumeirah can exceed AED 80 million.
