The real estate sector represents 60% of the world’s leading resources and a large share of all national, corporate, and personal assets. In this regard, real estate investments deserve to be taken into consideration by any person or company looking for asset classes in which to invest part of its capital.

What is Real Estate?

When people hear the term real estate, some think of land, houses, or other types of buildings and structures. These are real estate components, but they are far from being a complete definition. 

In this article we are going to list some other forms of real estate, and also things to consider when examining real estates in Dubai

Other Forms of Real Estate to Consider Investing In

Rental Yields

Real estate in Dubai offers one of the best rental returns in the world, especially in new communities that offer better profits than most major cities in the world.

Recent research has shown that properties such as Belgravia, by Ellington Properties offers an average sales price of AED 995/sq.ft., which is 10.31% more compared to Jumeriah Village Circle with AED 902/sq.ft. As for Belgravia’s average rent price, it is set at AED 82.6/sq.ft, which is 28.66% more than Jumeirah Village Circle ( AED 64.2/sq.ft.). Belgravia rental yield currently sits at 8.914%, and its occupancy rate at 90% which is 23.2% more than Jumeirah Village Circle that has a 73.05% occupancy rate.

Moreover, Belgravia II offers an average sales price of AED 971.60/sq.ft., which is 7.71% more compared to Jumeriah Village Circle with AED 902/sq.ft. In addition, Belgravia II’s average rent price is AED 88.47/sq.ft., which is 37.8% more than Jumeirah Village Circle of AED 64.2/sq.ft. Belgravia II current occupancy rate is at 97% Vs. 73.05% for Jumeirah Village Circle.

The study also found that average rental yields in Dubai are better than in major cities, despite falling prices and sales in recent years.

Average rental yield at access points to global properties such as London is 2.7%, Hong Kong 2.4%, New York 2.9%, and Singapore 2.5%, all at a one only low level. While Dubai properties regularly post an average gross profit of over 7%.

Capital appreciation

Capital appreciation is the rise in the market value of the property compared to the purchase price. In general, buildings located in excellent locations, such as Belgravia and Belgravia II, demonstrate capital appreciation. These are the areas of choice for wealthy professionals who are willing to pay for their decision. Capital appreciation can also be observed in the regenerating regions or with new services offered. In short, the more an asset has, as property, the more likely it is to show capital appreciation.

What is the Return on Capital (ROC)?

In contrast, the return on capital occurs when an investor receives part of his/her initial investment, and these payments are not considered income or capital gains from the venture. Note that a return on capital reduces the correct cost base for the investor. Once the cost base of the stock is adjusted to zero, any subsequent profits will be taxed as a capital gain.
