Property prices in Dubai are far cheaper than those in central London, and half those in Singapore. Almost everyone would like a second home in the sun.

With limited and restrictive investment choices in Europe, the current surge of British buying in Dubai is likely to accelerate as people realise the great appreciation potential.With an estimated shortfall of 40,000 units within the next five years, supply will dry up as demand continues, and this makes property an excellent investment opportunity. Coupled with this, Dubai has sun, sand and a great lifestyle.There are also the obvious benefits of living in a tax-free environment, which is extended to the property market – there are no government property taxes.
