(Please remember there is no intention to give investment advice)

In this episode, we sit down for our second conversation with Saif, a leading Dubai property advisor, who takes us step-by-step through the Emirate’s real-estate landscape -from off-plan mechanics and escrow safeguards to the true costs of entry (think ~£204K for a one-bed plus 20% deposit and 4% DLD fee).

This episode addresses the question a first time buyer, or potential private homeowner in the UAE, will ask - and then moves onto the property investor questions and answers.

He’ll walk us through where you can do holiday lets (spoiler: it’s 95% of the market), unpack why Dubai’s yields routinely outshine London, Tokyo, or New York, and show how a data-driven mindset keeps you away from hype-fueled pitfalls.

Saif also highlights Dubai’s landlord-tenant framework—one that strikes an even balance and genuinely supports property owners—contrasting it with the UK’s more tenant-favoring system. He shares why this fairness makes Dubai such an attractive market for buy-to-let investors.

We’ll also explore game-changing projects like Marjan Island (with its soon-to-open Wynn casino) and the eco-forward Siniya development, and discover how a 750K AED ( at the time of publishing this is around £154,000) investment can even unlock a two-year residency visa. Tune in for all the inside intel—what’s hot, what to avoid, and exactly why Dubai remains one of the world’s most compelling property plays.
