Dubai is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Whether you are looking for an apartment or a villa, whether you are a professional or a guy looking to raise his kids in a remote area, Dubai is what you need. Properties in Dubai are so versatile that you will have a hard time choosing the perfect dwelling as there are many that will appeal to your taste. Here’s why:
Rental Market in Dubai
Due to Covid-19, the last year has been a hard one; there have been many downs and a few ups. The pandemic shook the whole world, Dubai also got affected, but due to the appeal of this city and its real estate market, it bounced back on its feet in no time. As soon as things started to settle in Dubai, the prices and demands for real estate in Dubai also started to stabilize. It’s hard to believe that even with a raging pandemic, the demand for property in Dubai hasn’t decreased. In fact, dwellers are looking for stability now more than anything, so the rents, as well as the choice of dwellings, are now getting better.
The tenants aren’t looking for just any place to live; they are more interested in better locations, prime areas, and optimize accessibility. The fact that tenants are looking for the very best places to live makes the Dubai rental market very hot. The most demanded properties at the most are Villas and bungalows that come with open spaces like back yards, front yards, gardens, and balconies. Whereas last year the hot properties were one-bedroom or studio apartments. So, from small units, the market has changed to bigger and spacious units.
If you are also looking for that perfect villa to settle in with your family, here are some tips that will help you nail that perfect property down.
Getting Your Dreamhouse in Dubai
Earlier in 2020, when the lockdown was imposed, many tenants who were looking to move couldn’t due to the lockdown. They couldn’t view the properties, so they were forced to increase their leases with the existing landlord. Some couldn’t afford to live in the same house but were accommodated by the landlords through rent reductions and new contracts. However, the tables have turned now; things are getting back to normal. And with the lockdown ends, the tenants can now move into any place they want.
So, to get the best out of your property, you need to be vigilant in your search. Seek your house in a prime location, a house that is accessible to school, hospitals, and your workplace. You should also keep a close eye on things such as security, neighborhood, community, parks, facilities, local shops, etc., while inside the house; you need to consider the structure, general condition, natural light, furnishing as well as functionality. All these aspects are the root of good living.
Apart from that, have a lengthy word with the landlord, get the feel of the guy, and see if you get along. Your gut feeling here matters a lot. Moreover, make sure all maintenance factors are covered in the contract and both parties are aware of their respective duties.
While Signing the Contract
Drawing the deed is one thing; signing it is another. Make sure that when you are signing the contract, you have read the whole thing cover to cover. Always hire a reputable and RERA-registered. Release checks to the landlord only, the one whose name is on the deed. Match the title to the name in the passport as well. When you hire the most reputable and trustworthy broker in the business, he or she will explain all the points beforehand.
