Why Abu Dhabi Over the UK? (The Tax Showdown)
In the UK, your profits shrink. In Abu Dhabi, they stay yours.
The verdict? Abu Dhabi wins on every metric that matters.
Upfront Costs (Abu Dhabi vs UK)
Yes, you pay some upfront in Abu Dhabi. But here’s the clarity you need…
· UK: Deposit + Stamp Duty + legal fees + ongoing taxes = a host of hidden costs.
· Abu Dhabi: Typical down payment starts at ~20–30% for many purchases, though in some secondary market cases mortgages may only cover ~50% (meaning you’d pay ~50% upfront). You also pay a one-off registration/transfer fee (approximately 2-4% depending on the property).
No surprise annual tax bills. Just a simpler structure that rewards long-term investors.
Buy more for less today, watch it grow tomorrow.
Property prices: Abu Dhabi luxury still up to 70% cheaper than London.
•Rental demand: Yields reaching up to 9.3% in top-performing areas such as Al Reef, with around 8.4% in Al Ghadeer.
Growth outlook: 7–8% annual growth expected through 2033 = 72–83% price rise.
Mega catalysts: Disney Yas Island + new AI hub bringing 15k+ tech jobs.
The UK market drifts. Abu Dhabi accelerates.
