Freehold or leasehold: Which property 49% cheaper to rent in Dubai?

6-month lag between property prices dropping and rents falling Leasehold areas in Dubai are far cheaper to rent apartments and villas, than freehold communities. This is because the former caters to the affordable market segment and the latter to the affluent, according to a new property report. “A rental comparison between the two areas shows that on an average, apartments are cheaper by 49 per cent and villas 31 per cent in leasehold areas (compared to freehold),” Unitas Consultancy said, in its latest report, ‘Renter’s Ball: The Dynamics of the Tenancy Market in Dubai’. However, the report said villas experienced higher rental growth rates (20 per cent) when compared to apartments in the last five years; but rates had declined in the last one year. “As the market adapted to cater to the pent-up demand, a flurry of new villa projects were launched by private and government sector developers. “In the last year, the dynamics of the villa market have changed with both re...

Londoners flee steep house prices, head for provinces

Shortage of affordable housing is a major theme of campaigning for the May 7 general election Expensive housing, an overloaded transport system and a lack of space are driving thousands of Londoners out of the hectic British capital to other, calmer cities such as Birmingham. The shortage of affordable housing is a major theme of campaigning for the May 7 general election and the National Bureau of Statistics says a record 60,000 people aged 30-39 left London between June 2012 and June 2013. Rather than treading the well-worn route of relocating from the city to the countryside, many have chosen to move to the central city of Birmingham, Bristol in the southwest, or Manchester in the north. "Rental prices (in Birmingham) are half of what they are in London," said Kelly Convey, travel blogger for Expedia. "London is becoming exceptionally hard to be able to afford." Buying a property costs an average of £500,000 in London ($742,000, 695,000 euros), compar...
