Finding a cheap apartment in Dubai is not a myth, but an existing reality. The UAE market is filled with luxury offers, but a closer look at the expats will find themselves at a decent price tag for apartments, including those located in good neighborhoods. It should be understood that by Dubai standards, economy housing is not equal to that in Russian realities.

Dubai is synonymous with luxury and high comfort in everything. The residential sector here, as many people think, consists exclusively of expensive and very expensive real estate, available only to millionaires. But is it really so? The truth is that there really is no substandard house or dubious building in Dubai. Taking into account that the city began to be built here only at the end of the last century, there are no old districts here either. However, there is economy housing, but in terms of its appearance and quality it significantly exceeds the assigned class. And now, according to the analytical information of the agency Asteco, the government of the country strongly supports city development with inexpensive real estate objects. What is it for? Experienced and highly qualified...

You will probably think that this cannot be. How can you become the owner of property by spending the same amount as on a round of golf? Yes, Dubai is known for its high entertainment prices. And it is true that 500 dirhams (136 dollars) is the price of entering a golf course or the cost of one fashionable T-shirt. How can it be that the apartment costs the same?

However, you are guaranteed to receive a title deed, and therefore you really turn into a real investor. Previously, the minimum threshold for...

The new way of buying a house in the UAE has already taken over the market and is gaining popularity among those who wish to move to Dubai at a minimal cost. Rent with subsequent purchase is an opportunity to get housing ownership without extra nonrecurrent expenditures. This method is chosen by families with an average income, for whom it is important to obtain full ownership of the apartment and the ability to pass on the housing to children by inheritance in the end. The scheme to transfer housing after paying monthly payments is similar to a mortgage, but there is a difference: a lower interest rate that the developer sets. Moreover, a significant difference is such a transfer plan: a new owner gets the opportunity to move into a new home only after payments in the amount of a quarter...
