Dubai Real Estate: A Tax-Smart Alternative for UK Investors

The curtain is coming down on the UK’s non-dom regime, prompting internationally minded investors to rethink where their wealth can thrive without heavy tax drag. Dubai is increasingly the answer. Prime residential assets in the city often yield six to eight percent, roughly twice what comparable properties in central London deliver, and both rental income and capital gains remain untaxed at the personal level.

Our new brief presents hard numbers in a side-by-side comparison of a downtown Dubai apartment and a Knightsbridge flat, revealing how much faster capital compounds in the Gulf. It also explains how a purchase from AED 2 million secures a ten-year UAE Golden Visa for you and your immediate family, adding residency benefits to the investment case.

We delve into the neighbourhoods where limited new supply meets rising demand, outline the English-language legal framework, and highlight the stability conferred by the dirham’s US-dollar peg. Coupled with world-class infrastructure and a pro-business climate, these factors position Dubai as a compelling launchpad for post-non-dom portfolios.
