The appeal of Dubai real estate now extends far beyond Gulf residents and global funds. From sleek Dubai Marina apartments to sustainable villas in Tilal Al Ghaf, Australian investors are expanding their portfolios in a market offering zero capital gains tax, Golden Visa opportunities, and rental yields rarely matched back home. Still, buying property overseas isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Dubai Invest provides end-to-end guidance — ensuring every step of your Dubai property purchase is confident, compliant, and seamless.

Your first major decision is whether to buy under your personal name or through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Purchasing personally makes financing simpler, while setting up a DMCC or DIFC company can open doors to Golden Visa eligibility and estate planning advantages. Choosing the wrong structure, however, could mean thousands lost in future taxes or probate costs. Dubai Invest provides side-by-side financial projections to help you make an informed, confident choice.
Off-plan launches often provide 5 per cent deposits and generous payment schedules. Ready units start generating rent immediately and qualify for higher LTV mortgages. Which route performs better depends on your risk appetite and cash-flow horizon. Our data team tracks 300 plus buildings and 120 developers to match you with projects that meet your timeline.
The headline gross yield means little without a service-charge and vacancy haircut. We apply the 7 Per Cent Rule—net yield after costs must exceed domestic mortgage rates. Anything lower is speculation. When you buy property in Dubai through our network, every listing is accompanied by a full five-year cash-flow model.
Australian buyers can secure UAE or international mortgages, developer instalment plans, or leverage equity back home. Whichever path you pick, AED exposure and FX fees can erode returns. Dubai Invest partners with tier-one currency desks to lock forward contracts and protect your budget.
From pre-approval of your DLD RERA form to snagging inspections, Ejari registration and tenant placement, we manage the lifecycle so you stay focused on strategy. Post-handover, our Remote Landlord Pack keeps your asset compliant and cash-positive even when you are 11 time zones away.
The line between a dream investment and a costly mistake lies in expert execution. Whether you’re purchasing a single apartment or building a five-unit portfolio, Dubai Invest brings local expertise and transparent, Australia-friendly reporting to make cross-border property ownership seamless.
