Our Buy vs. Rent calculator provides a detailed comparison of the overall costs associated with renting versus buying a property, taking into account the annual increase of rental prices and potential property price increases. The comparison will guide you on whether you should purchase a property or continue to rent.

There are five key factors to think about before making this decision. 

  • 1. The length of your stay in the UAE can help determine whether buying a property with a mortgage or renting is more cost effective
  • 2. Setting a budget for living in the UAE is a crucial step, as it will guide you in choosing the right property and selecting the most suitable option
  • 3. Conducting simple market research is a good idea; this will help you understand the market you are buying in
  • 4. Owning a property in the UAE gives owners greater control over aspects like renovations, modifications, and customisations
  • 5. Work with a trusted and reputable real estate agency like haus & haus to simplify your property search, making the process more efficient and straightforward

There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to deciding between renting and buying in Dubai. Both options have their pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your individual circumstances and priorities.
